Great guitars; everything that the R9 is and at a better price point. If I ever want another humbucker loaded Lester, that's where I'm going.

My 1967 Gibson ES-335TDC, hands down.
However, my 1981 460 BG and my ca. 2001 Epiphone Lennon Revolution Casino are really really close seconds.

Mine would be either my 1981 1958 reissue Les Paul (Black with 2 humbuckers) or my 1987 Green Gibson Explorer.
Yep, I'm a Gibson guy.

Rics always have my heart, especially their looks, but when it comes

The three guitars currently in my collection (Ric 1997, 62 RI Strat, 360/12V64) are the best ones I've played along with the CIJ 66 RI Jazzmaster and the Gretsch G6120-1959. I have yet to review my new 60s RI Tele that should be coming in sometime next week, but I have a feeling it's going to be a heck of a guitar as well.

A tie between my Les Paul Deluxe and my 620 JG. But I'm always willing to keep looking.
