It's about time I asked again. What guitar (or bass) are you playing more than any of the others right now? It doesn't have to be your favorite of all time, just the one getting the most play over the last...say, month or so.
This here junker re-build has been dominating. The action is surprisingly awesome, considering it's set up in dropped A with huge ass strings. The intonation hardly needed any work, the neck stays straight as an arrow, and it's got a pretty wide range of tones. The only thing it might need is some better tuners when I change strings next. Junker for the win.
I replaced the pups with Lace Deathbuckers, wired for split and put a brass nut on it. It's neck divey, the horns shaped awkwardly and pokes you if you are seated, but after I got it setup, it plays great and sounds awesome. It's been my number one for a while. I'm building an sg shaped 12 that will be more ergonomic and will hopefully knock it off the number one pedastal, we'll see.

I haven't been able to play much or really do much of anything the past few weeks, but I don't really have a main guitar anymore like I used to, each of them have their own purpose.
Jaguar- modded with two strat single coils made into a humbucker in the bridge, I use this mostly for black metal recording.
Jazzmaster- I put a contact mic under the pickguard so I've been using this one alot for ambient and looping stuff
Telecaster- too new for me to really know what I plan on using it for, and I've not recorded anything with it yet either, so we will see.
Baritone Telemaster- when I get this together I think I'm gonna use it for some rediculously tuned doom
Added the microphonic middle pickup and sprayed a layer of pink over dark brown. I moved the string over one so it's more comfortable
Before getting this I hadn't played anything in like two months. It's smaller and lighter than usual, and I really enjoy the pickup and how it transmits the strings sometimes rattling and doing that buzzy sitary thing due to the crappy break angles and reduced tension. I like how the tension on the low C makes it yield a note one semitone higher than intended if it's hit hard enough. I like everything about it, so it's done being worked on.

My wife and I moved our music room upstairs for the winter. Our house is too big and too poorly insulated to make the whole house comfortable, so we moved our stuff into our 12x14 guest bedroom. I brought up a couple of MIM Strats and a VM Jazzmaster. I have spent most of my time playing this:
While my wife has been playing this (picture taken the day we got it, it looks much better now with 4 strings, no sticker, and a tone control added):
I'm back down to owning one guitar (Gretsch G5129) and one bass (Warwick Rockbass Corvette).
I mainly play the Gretsch G5129, seen here chilling with my Drone Commander and Excelsior:
