Any high quality ES-335 (or knockoff). I adore semi-hollow's and have pretty much stopped playing anything else.

I couldn't chose just one. My friends would all chose my Vintage Danelectro though.

the older stop-tailpiece Gibson Howard Roberts Fusions are pretty awesome as well.

Although I love my '78 tele deluxe, cbs though it is, with great tone variety dual coil tap switch laden seymour duncan '59 neck and Jeff Beck in the rear, nicely rounded neck and great setup, a recent thread I was reading piqued my interest in these big time.

I love my G&L ASAT Special. Even if it's a Tribute version.

Hard tail strats are awesome too.

I do pull my Strat out and play it now and then, but these days I'm mostly acoustic on the guitar side. On the bass side, tough call. I've got my old P-bass with the flatwounds, great for most things. But the Azola electric upright is a contender as well.

I would say a nice Telecaster of some kind, but I love semi-hollowed bodies (I have a Rickenbacker 330 and pre-Gibson Epiphone Emperor). I would love to get my hands on a Gibson SG with P90s though.

I like your taste- an es-330 with a different headstock and inlays...

so far it is neck and neck (sorry for the pun) -4 for tele and 3 for SG.

Add another vote for the Casino -- make mine an Elitist.
