    I voted 335 style although the Yamaha SA2200 should have it's own category

    That would currently be my Hell Zero Dot (Hell, what do you expect?!) . Although 2 weeks ago it would have been the Hell Bender but I'm getting into having a trem model at the moment.

    In case I am perceived to be biased by mentioning my own guitars, then I would have to go with my Gretsch Hot Rod.

    Despite having amassed a versatile quiver of almost all of the above, and others not in the poll -- 12-String Electric, 12-String Acoustic, mando, uke, reso (unless counted as a 'slide' guitar) -- I voted Stratocaster, since my #1 go-to weapon since the day I got it, 9/24/81, is my '81 Fender STRAT, and it always will be.

    Hmmm...have we seen the Zero Dot, Syo? Is that the semi-hollow?

    Like Eric, I keep coming back to my LPs. I love all my guitars, and I play them all, but the favorites are the Agile LP and the Epi 60s Tribute LP. There's something magical in that heavy mahogany...

    Guitars: Lots.
    Amphs: More than last year.
    Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.

    What became of your magnet-swapping experiment, FF? Did you switch out the Agile to A2? What were the results?

    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!

    Gotcha. So it's still sort of in progress? I was wondering if it made the difference you thought/hoped it would.

    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.
