Currently it's my 1976 Strat. It beats all guitars I have played so far tonewise and the playability is awesome, too. Due to the Hardtail I can get a wide range of sounds, also some twangy Tele stuff, but can also switch into Hendrix & SRV territory within a second.

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.

That's a really tough one....but for me it's my Gretsch 6120 RHH.

Torn between my Hell No2 and my Reverend Rick Vito. Both play amazingly well, both sound great clean and overdriven, the Hell really gets it when I want to play rockabilly or Texas-style blues, the Vito takes when I want more OD bite or for playing slide.

A couple years ago, I answered a toss-up between Les Paul and Telecaster. It's more accurate to say that I have a pretty big available group from which to choose, though, and that's even more true now than then.
