Your Favourite Electric Guitar
I'm kinda partial myself to the Gibson Les Paul. But I also like the SG's and Fender Strats.

I say I'm partial to the Les Paul but in reality the only electric I own is a cheap Ibanez GIO. But I love the tone I get when I plug it into my Marshall so I'm a "happy chappy"

No kidding. This guitar called to him. He picked it up and just couldn't put it down. When he played it every other player in the store stopped trying out new guitars to just listen. He tried to talk himself out of it by looking for flaws,but could find none. He grit his teeth and asked the price and the salesguy said "oh there's been a mistake this is suposed to be in clearence 1800 bucks with hard shell case." He almost broke his arm getting his credit card out he was moving so fast.  The Irony is that a mutual friend was in there earlier and asked about the same guitar. The sales guy told him it was not for sale. 
I guess he was waiting for the right player to come along. It was meant to be.

Les Paul, no question.
Gibson Les Paul, hands down. I own an SG myself, but the Les Paul will always be my personal favorite. I love the Fender Stratocaster too. I like switching between the Strat and a Gibson depending on the tone I'm looking for.

And you need to be a student for one, and a human being for the other, but those things alone don't do it."

I think if money was no object I would like either a Burns as they were King back in my day
Or a Dean after seeing what MAB can do with one
Saying that
BB King's Loretta would be nice to just sit there and play some Blues

I know I know 
I saw what I had done and THEN forgot to correct it
May as well leave it now
I think I must have been under the influence that day 
Started with the right letter and then went haywire
Obviously using FAR too much alcohol to get the thought processes working properly

A Godin Guy
I don't claim to be an expert on electric guitars. Play mostly acoustic and classical. I have two electric guitars, a Godin xtsa and an Epiphone Broadway. The Godin has Seymore Duncan pickups, carved AAA flame maple top, ebony board, synth access, and cost me 900.00 Canadian. The build quality is incredible for the money. The EPI is o.k. considering its an Asian knockoff. Nicely finished, crappy hardware. Nice fat jazz tone.DonC.
