Lately, it's been my Epi Les Paul Jr. with a P90 in it.

Cheap, basic but the sound is great.
 
My telecaster is becoming restless, I'll take it out of the case and play it soon.

Ibanez RG470 BK(=BlacK)
The colour of mine(well actually, it belongs to my brother...) is different from the picture.

That's the one with the short scale length, right?

My bronco has the same neck that was used on the Stratocaster and the Mustang. The main difference was the single vs. multiple pick-ups and the electonics that go along with that. There's probably other differences too. The Bronco was the lowest price guitar Fender sold, I believe.

That's cool. I've been considering getting a five-string and tuning it that way.

I have a Fender Classic Series Jazz Bass. Very good intstrument in its price range, and as of today I haven't found a bass I like better (and I've played a lot of fancy high end stuff).

I also have an old Ibanez Roadstar II which plays beautifully but sounds pretty bad. I'm going to get some new electronics for it some day to improve the sound.

A few weeks after I restrung it I read an interview with Tony Levin and he said he did the same thing!  Great minds do indeed think alike.

I guess they do....  I had an Ibanez 5 string for a time in the early 90's that I strung that way as well Thumbs%20Up  Never used...needed ..or particularly liked the low B.

I have quite a few guitars, but the one I use the most is an old Schecter C7 diamond series, from when they still had Floyd Rose on 'em.

Here's a pic:

By the way, can anyone tell me a song where the guitarist uses an ES-335? Curious about the sound.

I know Steve Howe used one, I saw him play one live. Not sure about the song.

Pearl coloured Epiphone Les Paul Custom with Buzz Feiten tuning system, Vantage VP795 (which I've unfortunately promised to my daughter if she learns how to play guitar, neck through design, sings like you wouldn't believe, best $200 I've ever spent, if you find one, jump on it, great guitars from Japan in the early 80s), Fender Strat Squier made in '94 (wood = MIM strat, tuners = standard strat, electronics = squier), and a 30 yr old Yamaha fg325 acoustic that is about as banged up as me.
P.S. I'd love to start a petition for Vox to re-start production of their VR30. Excellent hybrid design, inexpensive & great tone & value. Blows away just about all other manufacturers entry level & mid level amps. Poor man's AC30.

Gibson SG Lefty
Fender Jazz Bass Lefty
A Hohner ST Special Lefty (my first guitar... I still play it now and then)
Washburn Lyons Lefty (originally a cheap 3rd class guitar, but I customized the pickups, so it sounds pretty cool now)
 
I'll probably buy a Fender Stratocaster one of these days. Don't know if I should go for a Japanese or an American built one. They say the Japanese are actually better.
