Best Superstrat: 2012 Suhr Modern w/Aldrich's. Almost too easy to play. Can sound Brutal if need be. Push/pull volume knob for single-coil tones on both pickups. Gotoh trem hardly ever goes out of tune. Have had many Suhrs and this is the only one that stayed. Back of the guitar body is white (kinda cool).

Best vintage guitar: 1964 Fender Custom Esquire
This guitar absolutely rips! It sounds fantastic, and at times will fight with you for the goods. The result
comes out of your amps speakers in such a cool way. Check out the red switch tip!!!

The Unsung Hero Guitar: 1976 Ibanez Rocket Roll
An impulse buy at Rudy's Music in SoHo,,,all original and gives the Gibson equivalent a serious run for the money!

Honorable mention: 1987 Jackson Soloist
My first real guitar. Purchased it new from Ed's guitars in Miami. If memory serves, it was damn near 2k, or a littler higher. Mowed lawns for the whole summer of 87' to pay my Mom back on the loan.
Originally had a Copper Snakeskin paint job that was cool at the time, but I grew tired of it. I stripped the paint off myself (major pain in the ass), and had it painted silver flake. That lasted about a year,,,then stripped it again and was going to do red,,, This is when I played it for a while with no paint, and I couldn't believe how much better it sounded! More open and alive. I had a buddy carefully sand off all the leftover paint evidence and she's been
'ala Naturale' ever since for about 30 years!
