My Super-Sonic. It was my first "real" guitar when I traded up from the crappy Gremlin I started on back in middle school, so I basically grew up with it. Nothing else I've played has been as comfortable, or will be, probably, at this point. That neck just feels like home to me.
Ever since I got it from DGNR8, it's been number one. It's a true trooper! Gets thrown about and takes a real beating, but yet his refin job remains unharmed!

and dibs if you sell it.
it really is lovely. nice relicing looks original. plus it was done by RVB, so you know that shit is tight.
here's a pic next to my roomate's MG69 (from the 'pictures of your shortscales' sticky):

well, it's really not relic'd. it has some chips in dings but I've done all of those. The hardware has rusted and stuff but that's all original. I guess the finish isn't the most pristine in the world but I'm not sure I'd consider it a relic.

dude, it's like 3 different colors of orange, and not with any consistency. i thought it had finish checking and shit on it, too?
My only working electric (not bass) is my Squier Strat with Hot Rails in the bridge, so that's my "go-to" guitar. I love the sound and overall feel, but I think it would be more comfortable if it had a 24.75" scale neck. Luckily a friend have me an Epiphone double cut Les Paul a while back that he managed to lose the bridge for and screw up the electronics. I have enough knowledge about guitars now to fix it myself, I just need a TOM bridge, pots and a switch, and a new pickup (optional actually). When I get that together it may replace my Strat.
