A black Squier Tele that I put an extension nut on and set up like a lap-steel. I have to wind the lowest string backward to balance the force of the other strings and keep the nut in place.
Also replaced the bridge pickup with some kind of small humbucker (I think it was Seymour Duncan?), But kept the "lipstick" pickup. Very fun to play tuned low with fuzz.
I could take a picture if anyone cares.

I love this thread. Lately I cannot keep my hands off this little guy, my 90's Ibanez Talman.

I also use this little beast, a Korean Tele, quite a bit. Coil tapping it makes it sound pretty strat-like, so I hardly ever play my strat...

Schecter TSH-1 from the late 90's. Semi hollow with a jb style duncan design stock PU in the bridge and a P90 in the neck. When you need a darker, rock sound, this thing delivers. Also delivers when you use both pickups at lower gain.
Warmoth parts Esquire with a Broadcaster PU. Just a no frills, great guitar that is really fun to play. Lots of tonal options for just having 1 PU. Stacks well with my LP.
87 Gibson LPC- It does what it should. It's not subtle with volume at 10, but has a range of tones when you fiddle with the knobs. 490 neck/500t br. I swapped bridge PU monthly, depending on who/what I am using it for. I have a BB2 and a wolfetone timbre that go in it on the regular.

I have a offset by Revelation under US$300, with Entwhistle P90's and they sound very cool. Guitar has a rotary switch to change caps, plus 2 pups and and a tone control - lotsa variation. But I might could stage it ...
I also bought a Xavier LP-type used for about US$100 that's like a Thinline. The "lighter" sounds (as opposed to Fender or Gibson) can record really well. I wouldn't stage it, I don't think, but I've recorded songs with 4-5 guitar tracks with each of these, happy with the sounds.
