I own a bunch of guitars, but most are crappy knock offs or no name-brand... but that doesn't mean i'm any good at playing them... I used to own a custom made Les Paul that was given to me in lieu of payment for roadie duties for an all lesbian band called 1-900-BOXX. The girl who originally owned the guitar used to play in Debbie Harry's band (when she went solo from Blondie) and had it custom built to her standards by Gibson. I really liked that guitar except for the fact that she had it set up with a Floyd Rose Tremelo bar... I mean, c'mon, it's a Les Paul...you don't put a whammy bar on that... I traded the Les Paul for a Black Fender Telecaster about four years ago.
I also have an old (1950-60's) Stella Harmony acoustic (Black sunburst), an Epiphone acoustic, an early 80's Vantage X-77 that's covered with stickers (also replaced one of the pickups with a D'marzio Super Distortion) that i got at a garage sale for $20 which included a 15 Watt Gorilla Amp (which I blew up with the Les Paul) and a tuner, my grandmother's (RIP) 3/4 size classical guitar from the 1940's, a Rickenbacher 4001 copy that's painted metallic purple, a few assorted electrics & acoustics that i use for spare parts, and my personal favorite... my beat to shit, sticker covered, tuned down 3/4 stock classical... I don't know why, but i love the way that thing sounds...
