A while ago this would have been hard for me to choose, but now its easy, JAG:
I used to use it as a second guitar, and maybe in a couple of songs. Then it just sort of hung around as a novelty for a while, but since putting the new pickup in it just blows everything else I own out of the water. It's very temperamental, noisy, banged up and uncomfortable, but its like driving the same car for 10 years, if somebody else jumped in they'd probably stall it, but you know just how to start it, know the clutch, know when to change gears to get the most out of it and know that when the fuel gauge is showing empty, you still have about 20 miles left.
Clean it still sounds thin, at least on the bridge, but if you stick some distortion on the guitar calmly unzips its trousers, slaps its globe size balls on the table and asks "what?". The thing that I really love though is that it can do this, while still sounding like a Jag.
The volume knob is gone because I kept hitting it with my arm, the high e-string tuner is slightly wonky, and its relic-ing itself nicely.
I love you jaggysopretty.

). A lot of people might find a 1 pickup guitar limiting....I'm finding it liberating if anything. Forces me to focus on making tonal adjustments with my playing style rather than endless tweaking.
