Well, I'm figuring that a lot of folks are going to mention models with dubious vintage credentials, others high $$ craftsmanship, and some with elite / custom bloodlines. My choice (and a very easy one at that) would be to give the nod to an old friend - one who has faithfully served my every every musical whim for the last (16) years. Yes, I need look no further than my very own studio to find six-stringed nirvana: my trusty '90 Epiphone Les Paul. To me, it embodies the very spirit of who I am as a player, and what music means to me. In my mind there isn't another guitar that would ever come close to this one - at any price.

Yeah, just call me sentimental. But it's all I'll ever want, or need in a guitar.
