Not the "Holy Trinity" - but a "Modern Trilogy". Show yours..

A little while ago we had a "show your" thread about the Holy Trinity - Strat, Tele and LP.  While other models (SG, 335, Jag etc) could also lay claim to a place in the trinity, as well as other manufacturers, these 3 guitars from the premium manufacturers of the day, are generally considered to be the 3 to have.

Well, times move on and my recent acquisition has completed my own "Modern Trilogy", from arguably the top 3 modern day manufacturers (though as in the trinity - there are arguments for others). 

First up - My Red Hot Suhr Modern, complete with Floyd and high output pickups this is built for high octane rock and metal, and it does this superbly:

Next up, the Blue(s) machine.  Classic Rock and Blues in the LP mould,courtesy of my PRS fitted with BK Mules pickups.  Yes its not quite a LP, and it has a trem - but it covers that ground really well:

Finally, Mellow Yellow courtesy of Tom Anderson. With a 5 way strat style switch, this gives the clarity and quack expected from a strat, though a little hotter and fatter due to mahogany body/neck and P90s.  The neck PU gives some bite and aggression found on a Tele rather than a strat, and with an "add bridge"pull pot you also get the Tele middle position.

Of course non are true Single coils, and sometimes only they will do - so I do have a strat and tele as well, but for me - these are my "Primary" 3.

So - show me your own "Modern Trilogy" and what they cover for you.  Absolutely NO Fender or Gibsons aloud.  Modern (last 20 years) makes and models only.
