My favorite guitar is my first washburn electric. It's the best guitar I've ever played...it felt perfect the first time I played it and I love everything about it...it was only 100 dollars and came with the 18:1 gear ratio tuners, the best whammy bar I've ever used that rarely makes my strings go out of tune (even when I pretend to be Steve Vai), 24 frets and 2 single coils and a humbucker. It also has a very slim neck which is just perfect. The only thing I never liked were the volume and tone knobs which I changed with oldschool strat knobs. And the finish was a little boring so I pasted pictures of hot girls on it....and stickers too. I call that guitar JIF...like the peanut butter...because it's chunky and smooth. Hehe...that was a good one. :D Honestly tho...I even pasted the JIF logo on it.

My fav is my '92 Ernie Ball/Music Man EVH (the one in my avatar). It's a small guitar and fits my small hands perfectly. The sound of it is a little mid-rangy, but I can cut some of that with my eq. The pups are hot, which I like, gets a great chunk with the volume knob turned down to about 8. It took me a while to figure out that turning the volume knob down to about 8 cuts some of the brightness and gives it the chunk....It's got a maple top, which is why it has a bright tone I guess. This set-up works perfect for me, when a solo comes along, I just turn the volume up to 10 to get the full sustain and a little extra boost....

I got offered a trade of 2 PRS custom 22's for this EVH. I had to turn the offer down, I like this guitar too much...

Hmm... asking me to choose between guitars is like asking your parents to choose which child they love more... They won't give you an answer... but deep down inside... they have a favorite!! The one that I would call my "good son" is my Fender Stratocaster that I built and customized from all American Fender parts. Solid one piece flamed maple neck with a thin profile and vintage tint lacquer and non lacquered fingerboard. The body is a one piece choice cut Ash body... with a honeyburst finish (it's a vintage white color with grain showing through like a sunburst). The pickup arrangement is a set of Fender Custom Shop Custom '69 pickups... it has 5-way switching with no other fancy electronics... It has a pearloid pickguard and a vintage Fender tremolo.... with Ernie Ball 11 gauge string set. It's clean and vintage... nice guitar for most all styles... Now... for the "bad son" My first electric guitar was a cheap black Strat imitation that I bought for 90 dollars... basically a piece of plywood with strings and pickups. I loved it though... After many years of playing it I moved onto better guitars... however... I still would pull her out from time to time... We were in the studio recording one time and I got the urge to do an imitation of Jimi Hendrix sacraficing his guitar at the Moterey Pop Festival.... so I lit her on fire..... It was pretty cool. Since then I have sanded the rough edges from the burnt lacquer... she's also been drug through gravel quite a few times... has some beer bottle caps nailed to her... and since the electronics were all burnt up and the pickguard was melted... I fixed her up real nice with an all black double humbucker pickguard two hot BareKnuckle WarPig humbuckers and a chrome tone and volume knob... with a Les Paul three way switch... and a set of Zakk Wylde Boomers (.10-.70). It's a little more hard edged. haha... Those are my favorite axes.. of the 10 that I have. They're so different from each other... yet I play them both all the time.
