Which guitar do you pick up first after you've been away?

This thread keeps making me grab different guitars. I guess I cannot decide, but you fellas sure have some nice suggestions!

Usually this Chinese SquierWP_20170730_002.jpg as it is often left on a stand (or dragged around with me). All others are kept in cases. For what it is it plays surprisingly nicely & has a nice low action. I did have an A5 JB'ish type pickup in it but recently was given an EMG H4 to try in it. Cheers

Weas, this soooo reminds me of the PRS Santana 3 I used to have in Black/Gray tiger stripe.
Yours is a real beauty, bro.

I like one pickup guitars. It makes you focus on the music as there's nothing to fiddle with on the guitar.

I bet this 1 pup guitar is routed for 2 or 3 and 3 pots and a switch but has been modded for only 1.
 
Bocc, I wanted a cousin to your LP classic. I tried out a sweet Natural finished Classic Custom a few years back. It was under 2k too instead of the OVER 2k of their other LP's. Sadly, it was still too pricey for me to buy.

Thanks JohnnyGoo!
When I assembled it, I had never even played an LP. (Ya, I do stuff like that). The heel took me by surprise, and I was worried I wouldn't adapt. Well heck, that's a memory in the past. I really love it now, just needed to put some hours in.
And, strangely, I'm getting used to the 57's, although that romance won't last. I just can't seem to pull the trigger on a new set. Been debating for months. It's a good problem.

Yup, it all came down to price for me too. But I wanted to get an LP, so after months of research, I got the husk, did the assembly, and for well under 2k , I was a happy LP picker.
 
Cool, Bocc,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I got me a EPI LP then put an additional about 1 1/3 x more $$$ into it than it cost new.
Now it is soooo Awesome........ T tops and a Bone nut and pro setup will so this.

If I really wanted a different upgrade, I could reinstall the stock pickups and get it back down to around a $500 Epi and put the T Tops into another Gibbo LP or other project guitar like you did.

Chilli, sounds like you have a player, for a good price. Bone nut is a great addition. ....that's been my only add on to my SG, and It made a huge improvement. Best thing about pickups is you can always switch back. Sweet!
