What is your go-to guitar

My current go to, can't put it down guitar is my 2002 Custom Shop non-reverse Firebird. The neck is perfect (smaller custom shop 50's rounded, like .88-.96 or so). It plays and feels like sex on wheels. :X3:



Up until last May, I was over the moon with my 2014 ES 335. I am still am, really. It is close to perfect and I love it and can't put it down for a week at a time anytime I am able to set the 'Bird aside for a moment.



That said, the last time I was thrown in the deep end for a jam with several other musicians I had not jammed with before, I took old faithful. It was like having a security blanket for me. At the time, I was playing my SG Classic and my Sheraton more, but when it's time to put up or shut up...

Robert, I never thought to ask, but do you play an acoustic guitar ever? I have owned 3. First I ever bought was a sweet EJ200 Epiphone but sold it to pay bills. Next is my Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat acoustic with a pup and eq with tuner. Next is a 80's Yamaha I got off craigslist for $30 to loan a friend when he was at a homeless shelter. Best $30 I ever spent to bless him and preserve his Martin D 28 he wanted me to bring there. Yeah right huh?!!!! Now my 15 year old nephew is learning on that Yamaha in high school guitar class.
 
Well, I would have to say my 2005 Schecter C1 Hellraiser Neck-through/String-through, EMG 81/85 has been the guitar I trust the most. It has proven itself over the past 12 years. Rock-solid tuning and intonation plus dead-quiet under all conditions, it's the ultimate session guitar.

Used on over 300 recordings, it has earned me a decent income over the years...

Once in a while...I have a 1970 Hohner 400N Acoustic, but the frets started working out, so I de-fretted it in 2010 and never finished the job!!!

I need someone to re-fret it....

Most of the time I use whatever is laying in the studio..

these two are always close to the living room amp and digital recorder.
 
Robert, Even before you came to the forum and I got to see your White Strat, I wanted one. I have considered repainting one of my Black ones white.
