What guitar(s) do you guys use?
I thought it might be good to chat about our 'axes' here. I got 2 Strats, but I will write about them later as a reply to this post as I have to go now  I know RitchiesHair has a Custom Shop Blackerz Strat.. But that's all I know, so I'd love to hear about other members of the forum.
Cheers

That's RitchiesStrat. 
I disowned the electric guitar several years ago, (even briefly disowning the guitar altogether), and my fretted forays are exclusively acoustic. There's a little bit of Ritchie inlfluence still there, mostly due to his more recent direction, but my guitar playing heroes are cut from a different cloth.
My current weapon of choice is a Larrivée OM-03, a lovely fingerstyle guitar that unfortunately necessitated the sale of my classical guitar and letting go of a lovely old Höfner archtop I had a deposit on. Lovely rich and balanced sound, nice wide neck, not one for strummers, it beat out the Lakewood M-1, (a little bit too toppy and "zingy" ), and Martin 000-18, (a touch "crap and overpriced" ), and shall be my main axe until that Lowden or Fylde materialises....

Re: What guitar(s) do you guys use?
Wow great guitars. We (my dad and I) love acoustics too. We got a Godin A6, a cheap Yamaha electric acoustic, and a Gypsy jazz style thing which is pretty good although it's not a main manifacturer of that kind. What was the Höfner? My dad endorses Höfner's Verythin, it's like a ES335 but I find this one more jazzy. He also endorses Godin so he's got the Multiac Jazz, A6 and something like A6 but classical.
Enough talkin' about my dad's guitars I have the lim. ed. Blackmore model, which is my favorite of all guitars in the house The other one is a heavily modified Squier strat, the best guy here in Turkey scalopped it, made the neck thinner (as in the lim. ed. strat) and put Lace Sensor Golds on it. It plays and sounds beautiful. I also had a Cort M600 but gave it to my dad, which is a great guitar, also very cheap, but it doesn't fit into my style. My dad also has a Gibson L4 CES, which is woodwise better than ES175(that is his old one).

Re: What guitar(s) do you guys use?
I've got a Larrivee too, but an electric. They don't make electric models anymore I believe. Quite 80s-ish but it plays very nicely.
Here it is :-
I've also got a semi-acoustic Applause, and a couple more cheap electrics and acoustics kicking about.

Re: What guitar(s) do you guys use?
Strat was a 62 reissue with burgendy mist body now its white, and the pickups are Duncan Quaterpounder SSL7s. SG is just Gibson standard.
Old squier but i've put in an EMG hum and Duncan Jeff Beck hum (tis a beauty) also scalloped the neck. Middle one is a Gould ES335 clone - couldn't afford the real thing but it sounds pretty shame there's no bigsby. Natural finish is just a homemade thing based around a jazzmaster or something with jaguar and jazzmaster pickups.

Re: What guitar(s) do you guys use?
I have an '75 Strat which I had to do some extensive rebuilding on. Stuck a black Little '59 stacked humbucker on the bridge and another beefed up single coil on the neck (the name escpaes me). It's very similar to Ritchies' Made In Europe guitar, albeit with black pick-ups.
Recently purchased the guitar of all guitars... a 1952 re-issue Telecaster! Cost me $1395 in Sydney and is worth a lot more apparently in London... RESULT!
I had a bit o' an accident last year with me hand and for a while I thought I wouldn't be able to properly play again. But what I did was (copied Keef) and retuned the guitar to open-G. That was then followed by the removal of the sixth string. Not all the them are 5-stringers - just the Tele and an old battered acoustic from crazy ol' island o'Australia!

I have a customised Mexican 70s Strat, natural body and maple fingerboard.
I think the Mexican Strats beat American standards any day.
