Unfortunately as you might know from other posts on this site I am
living in the dark ages and I can`t post pictures as I don`t have a
scanner. We only use our crappy Optiquest computer for e-mail &
searching the for the odd thing on the internet. The only sites I visit
are this one , official King Crimson (I read Fripp`s Diary all the
time) and the official Gentle Giant. As for my strat it`s more scatched
up and worn away than anything else although it could use new machine
heads and it hasn`t been re-stringed for almost 7 or eight years.
Sometimes I let my dogs play it. I put it on the floor and crank
everything up and let them go nuts. I should video tape one of their
performances and send it to Dave Letterman as an entry for stupid pet
tricks.

Ooh, there's a story behind that....
...but I don't know it! 
Actually I do. Apparrently Chris has had the body of his famous white
Ricky shaved down so it's very light and has given it that very
'middly' tone that cuts through in the mix. There isn't a single guitar
that sounds quite like it (although Dave Meros of Spock's beard has
built a ricky that sounds close I'm told).

Practice is the arm that enables you reach for the prize...
...or is it the nose that lets you sniff the armpit of perfection....
.....maybe it's the leg that enables you to hop over the sand trap of banality....
....er, anyway practice is good.

Well, I'm a bass player and talking about basses surely Chris Squire's Rickenbacker 4001, but not yellow. Green is The Color.
Talking bout guitars Fender Stratocaster Cream's Jimi Hendrix. .

You could be right - a post punk flash of naked aggression - if that's OK by the rest of us

^ The guy on the right must feel really left out, not owning a silly guitar or moustache.

Things can occasionally get a bit silly, though....
But the prize for the silliest collection goes to....

Light in weight, the kind of sustain Santana drooled over, easy access to all frets - perfect guitar; then they made it a double neck & took me to heaven!

My dream guitar is my hacked up Squire Strat which I bought for $50 off a guy who was going to jail years ago. This one was made in the USA and not in Korea or Mexico. I've played it against the real McCoy on a number of occasions. Absolutely no difference.
