Your No. 1

Man, not to sound like a dick, but ya'lls number ones are waaay too frickin' pretty? I mean they look like off the shelf new?

My #1 is beat to shit, smells like cig-smoke, barf, barwhore coconut lotion, beerpiss, pawnshop stank, etc............ Then again, it hasn't lived it's life in my "smoke-free-studio" either........... At least not until I have it detailed and try to sell it on e-bay...

Mine only looks new from the angle I shot it at. It's actually got it's fair share of scars and it's starting to get some finish cracking. When I change strings though I wipe it down and shine it back up. I'm not gentle with it by any means, but I don't try to beat the shit out of it either. I'm a smoker, and this guitar has seen it's share of bars... actually, bars are mostly what it sees...lol.

At this point it's a Yamaha SE, looks just like this one.

This is true. My LP looks okay in pictures, but it's actually fairly road worn at this point and I've used it for countless shows and jams even though I've had it under two years.

No pics, but the #1 slot has been claimed by my Neal Moser STi-T with Super 3 bridge, Super 2 neck. And to think, this axe has a rosewood fret board (that looks & feels more like ebony).

After that it's a coin toss between my two Ibanez RG770DX originals: '91 LB, '92 VM

This is actually a tough question due to the fact that I love my LPs & Strats, but the ones mentioned have been my main gigging axes forever...

LTD EC1000 Stealth. Can't put this thing down, for some reason. Sounds incredible with my 6505.

 

[Hard&Heavy]

As of the moment.

My #1 is still my strat, but the 335 is a close 2nd:

actually - i'm too lazy to take pics right now lol - but my RG has quite a bit of wear and tear on it - you just can't see it unless you look close.
i've worn the finish off the top three bridge saddles and the bridge pickup ring where i hold my rythm hand, it has a few dings and scratches here and there - you can see the pickguard area where the clearcoat has been worn down, and it's in pretty dire need of a fret job lol.
