My only truly electric is a Tele clone with Noiseless pickups and a reverse control plate. It's a cream colour with a white pick guard and a rosewood board like the one Mike Bloomfield played on the first Butterfield album.

All great guitars. I suppose my 1946 Epiphone Zephyr is also an electric, it has a pickup from new.

Sweet, a '62 Melody Maker. How does it play?

Nowadays I don't play electric much but when I do its my FretKing Jerry Donahue Tele . Amazing guitar both in sound and playability

"Vintage hot" bridge pickup and strat neck pickup? That is the JD influence on my Telestrat - and I like it.

Mia Peavey Predator and Reactor, low $ and with a few diy upgrades and they are my #1 and #2.

More Peaveys. I've got to check them out. What kind of upgrades did you do?

My favorite is a MIM 90s Fender Duo Sonic...the extra-short scale length makes it play quick and trashy. Love it.
