I chose Les Paul since my Washburn is 90% based on it, only better!
UPDATE:
I grab my Hell 2 tele style guitar the most, with the Reverend Club King P-90 a close second.

Lately it's been back to my Suhr Classic:

At the moment, the Agile has overwound covered pickups, A2 in the neck, A4 in the bridge. The same pickups that are in the magnet swapping "tutorial" I posted here actually. As soon as I get a better soldering iron, I'll put the GFS VEH zebras back in, which have the identical magnet setup now. Swapping magnets rules!

At present a '94 ash veneered US Strat with two of its original single coils and a DiMarzio super Distortion for strat at the bridge. No tone control on the middle pickup for extra twang and brighter in between positions. I've had this one for 12 years now and I'm finally happy with it.
Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)
Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
I voted strat because I have a strat and a super strat. My Carvin DC127 is my go to guitar.

I voted LP, but the Roadhouse strats would be right up there also. I actually prefer the neck on the Strat, but for fat, full humbucker tone I gotta have the Agile to pull it off.

It's my DeArmond M-75, which is a Les Paul style guitar, but since I don't have a Gibson. . .
My current weapon of choice is my Hamer Newport. I am trying to put my finger on the key reason why I keep coming back to this guitar and I think it is basically this: Tone-wise this guitar seems to be like the love child from the relationship between a Telecaster, Gretch, and ES-335. It can cover some of the same tones as all of these guitars but not sounding exactly like any of them. Something about this combination of sounds keeps me coming back to this guitar, not to mention that it plays like a dream and is very light, and has a Bigsby which makes it even more fun to play. It's not a perfect guitar (sustain-wise, it's not the same as a solidbody) but for some reason it always inspires me to play. It seems to be well suited to the sounds that I like to get. It can get twangy like a Tele, fat & bluesy like a 335, or rock-a-billy sounding like a Gretch.

After playing diverses japanes copies (Ibanez, Rokkoman, Aria) I got a Gibson 335 and played it for more than ten years loved it, got then a Strat 57 Reissue and love it even more because of diversity of tone and great playability and then I got a Telecaster Esquire and Bang got crazy about the roughness and the amazing "Twang" tone of it. Specially great when playing in a large band with a full horn section
Finally got last month a Thinline 72 Custom Telecaster and love it even more
To resume from humbuckers I went to single coil and back to humbuckers
Am I just dumb

Thanks Jimi, I love to hear that I'm getting clever
To be more serious it's true that my taste have changed and I guess I'm refining my real needs for an axe, It has to be solid and reliable with great tone and a lovely neck. No needs for fancy booster or 18th pickups combination

I put Les Paul, but it's really a toss-up between Tele and LP.
I have 3 Teles, 2 Fenders and a Frankentele. I have 2 actual Gibson LP's (Classic and Studio DC), but a coulple of other 2-humbucker mahogany guitars which don't look just like LP's but are close sonically (DeArmond Jet Star, Fernandes Ravelle). I also have 2 mahogany flat-top P-90 guitars which are not Gibsons, although one is shaped like a Gibby DC, which have P-90's and are thus in the LP Special ballpark (Hamer Special and Schecter Tempest Special).
