Ok, let's see if I can suss out posting an image?......



The 'Three Amigos'

L-R - 1982 Ibanez Blazer, 2006 Ibanez AGS83B, 1981 Ibanez Artist. All now with Seymour Duncan pickups.

@steamabacus that DC is seriously nice, as is the S-style. I can't workout what the S-type is though, please can you shed some light?

steamabacus

I've listed them underneath. The S-type is an Ibanez Blazer, Ash body, hardtail (brass saddles) - great for 'rootsy' stuff. It 's kind of somewhere between a strat and a tele in sound (maybe the brass saddles have a lot to do with the 'tele-ness'?).
The one on the right is an Artist, basically a double cut Les Paul-style. In the middle is my day-to-day number one guitar - a semi-hollow (335-style) that's really versatile.

They're kind of my 'not quite-a-strat (or a tele)', 'not-quite-a-335' and 'not-quite-a-les paul'.

D'oh, didn't see that. Cheers though fella.

@Clarky, if only I was wrong-handed, I'd nick the lot off you..........I suppose I could nick them and try playing standing on my head...

Here are mine. I have three proper guitars -


An Epiphone ES335 Dot with Gibson reissue 52 pups, an Avalon A200CE in rosewood and cedar, and an Ibanez AV200 (I think, I got it second hand).

I also own varicose pieces of firewood -



The original Denecaster, made from a lump of African mahogany, the Les Dennis with its Rolling Mill pups and the Bluecaster that I put Seymour Duncan pups into, both from kits.



The Vintage V6 I repainted and rescratchplated for a distant £100 challenge, the Tele made from an old pine dining table and a Variax neck from Sporky for an even more distant £100 challenge, and a Tele I bodged together from a neck and body off evilbay and some Iron Gear pups.



And finally the acoustic kits. The Martin kits - there's the Martin O'Neill 1, where I got the neck angle so wrong the action at the 12th fret is nearly 6mm; and the Martin O'Neill 2, which I nearly got right apart from all the scuffs and lumps and overflowing edges and stuff. And the Irish Stew, from a StewMac kit, which is so nearly there it could make me cry - I just cannot get the frets at the body end of the neck to go into the fretboard properly, as a result of which the action from the 7th to the 12th fret is too high, but it's fine everywhere else. (No, I don't think the neck is warped because when I lay a metal ruler alongside the neck to line up with the fretboard/neck join, it's dead in line, and besides, you can actually get your fingernail under some of the frets.)

As to everyone else's, there are some truly gorgeous guitars up here, including TTony's first Bailey course effort, Zap's favourite Tele and DDlooping's symphonie en noir, but without wishing to make out that anyone else's collections are somehow lacking (they clearly aren't, and I have no desire to imply that they may be), my favourite sets belong to monquixote, marauder, ESBlonde (that Gibbo is to die for!), Marantz and Steamabacus.

Ibanez JEM77 PMC (Purple MultiColour)

Fender USA Std Strat (2011) in Olympic White

Did someone, @Frankus,  ask for some Jazz flute?

I used to get loads of jazz flute

SG Classic from 1999 IIRC, in not-very-common ebony. Everything is stock. Fat neck, low action. It's actually a very dark brown colour, not ebony. You can see the grain through the finish in certain light. For an SG it's built like a tank. 

ever owned. A US Tele from 1988. Will never sell this. It feels like home. Original bridge pickup crapped out a few years ago, so there's a Rio Grande Halfbreed in there now. Not sure how true it is, but they say that the Strats and Teles made in the few years after the the started up production again in the late 80s are some of the best you'll find. Quite a small number of people building them. Whatever about that, this is a gem.

Recording King ROS 616. Wanted a 12 fretter but didn't want to spend a lot. This is all solid mahogany and sounds great. Gets a lot of live use (there's an LR Baggs M1A in there) and engineers are always asking about it. Love the way the headstock is totally blank. 

My most recent acquisition. Classic series 70s Strat from 2000. I had a 90s US standard that I never got along with so I swapped it for another guitar. As soon as I'd done the deal I knew I wanted another Strat. Picked this up for a song on ebay (€320, that's including delivery  from the US!) so all is well again. Only got it last week and it needs a set up but it's lovely and light.

Danelectro baritone longhorn, converted to a bass VI type thing. Wasn't getting mush use out of the baritone so thought I'd give this a go. Have worked it into several songs now so I play it live quite a bit. Dunno how, but the guy who did the conversion got the action super low and buttery. Plays great.

Fender/Warmoth P-Bass. Bought of an old dude while on holiday in the US. He'd put it together from parts to be a kind of a tribute to Donald Duck Dunne and he used to play it in his church! Fender body, Warmoth J-bass neck, Rio Grande Muy Grande pickup, Wilkinson brass saddled bridge, bone nut, fat neck with no finish on the back. Just lovely. 

Swapped my old US strat for this MIJ Jaguar a short while ago. Had to scratch a Fender offset itch. Plays great but I'm not a huge fan of sunbursts so I'm looking into refinishing it lake placid blue. Have a guy who'll strip the body down to the bare wood, just need to get the paint. Thing is nobody will ship the paint and lacquer aerosols to Ireland so I have to wait till I'm over in, or somebody I know is coming over from, the UK. 

Gretsch Duo Jet. It has the larger 90s reissue headstock, but it's actually from the early FMIC days in 2003 before they brought in the more period correct Duo Jet features. Super light and the pickups are the alnico Filtertrons, as opposed to the ceramic ones from the 90s. The neck is slimmer then 'd normally like, but for whatever reason it doesn't bother me with this guitar. It kinda plays itself.

Dunno why those pics are sideways folks. They're not supposed to be.

here's my guitar porn. Soon to be joined by a Tele build.

Here is the man cave in the loft, with the current axes. Amazingly down to 3 electrics having got to some silly numbers a few years back. The 2 on the right are reasonably reliced, weird how it never shows up in a pic more than a few feet away. Might need to do a close up:
