I love all of my guitars but this Fender Malmsteen strat is just amazing to me. I’m running higher action on it but it just works on this guitar. 2mm i’d say but the scallops make the action appear even higher. Illusion of sorts. And these railroad track sized frets are awesome also. Anyway, what’s your most comfortable guitar to play?

Definitely my Gibson Studio Session for electric. Thin neck, higher fret access, lighter, thinner body, etc. Really feels effortless playing on it.

My Billy Strings D28 for acoustic. I've never played an acoustic that comfortable to play in my life. That shorter scale and adjusted nut width make it a joy to strum on.
 
My current NO 1 is my Mayones Duvell Elite 6. It just feels right for my style and playing. Some others that I had in the past and were really comfy to play -
Jackson Soloist USA (all of em)
Charvel San Dimas both USA and Mexico
Charvel Model 1
ESP Eclipse CTM I
Ibanez Prestige RGR662AHBF

I love Rattlesnake Cables also. Best customer service also

I keep hearing about them lately, will have to try them I guess. Looks as if they are somewhat tangle resistant also.

Klotz LaGrange cables are my #1 instrument cables after trying numerous high-end competitors. Anyone without tin ears knows that cables can absolutely make a difference.
 
Gutierrez custom built Corpsey style "ML" one off. I have a bunch of Dime style guitars, some of them USA custom builds from Dean and Washburn. They all kick ass but they get SMOKED by this ugly(by design) workhorse Brent made by hand. Brent has some sorta deal with the devil or something, because I know magic when I feel it.
 
I have tried to accustomize myself on higher string action on my guitars to improve the tone. Currently my favorites are the YJM Strat, MIJ Fender HSS ´26 FSR Strat, Ibanez RGT3020FMDS, Gibson Explorer and Gibson LP Custom.

Please tell me you have clips slaving that crate into the strategy 400. I bet that sounds all kinds of badass!

My number one most comfortable guitar to play is one I don’t play the most ironically. It’s my 76 wine red LPC. It’s more of a soloist guitar that sings and doesn’t have a lot of bite to it. Absolutely one of the more inspiring guitars I own.

My current number one is my 1988 Charvel 475XL. It’s just a nasty riff machine. I wish I knew what wood it was - I assume poplar. Lightweight and very resonant.
 
Jesus Christ those korina ones are special kind of awesome! 😍 Remember grabbing a Jackson catalogue somewhere in the mid-/late-90s from my local music store and that catalogue had the Mustaine korina KVs. 🤩

Yeah I have to agree those korina V’s are all kinds of badass. I’m a sucker for a korina metal machine.
