Here's my humble three, the Les Paul Studio is my favorite, but the Ibanez AEG12 acoustic is a great acoustic electric for the money.

Fender American pro tele and strat
Fender Mexican strat
Gibson Les Paul Standard

My fave is the American Strat, but its in the shop getting a setup, a new bridge pickup, and being shielded.

1983 Fender Precision Bass (American made)
1984 Rickenbacker 4003 Bass
2015 Fender Precision Bass (Mexican made)
2016 Squire by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz 70’s Bass
2017 Schecter Siletto Custom Electric Bass

The Rick has always been my favorite, but I find myself playing the Squire 70’s Jazz almost daily. Beautiful sound and easy playability.

From oldest to newest:

PRS Santana SE
Ibanez classical
Ibanez JEM
Fender American Deluxe Strat
LTD EC1000 Deluxe

The JEM is and always will be my dream guitar and baby but my LTD and Strat are much more versatile. I love the EMGs on the LTD and the short scale.

Yes it does. Everything is still original. I play it thru a Fender Princeton Reverb that’s all original too.
I’m mostly an acoustic guy but every now and then I’ll crank up the electrics.

1977 Strat, bought it in 1979.
2007 Mexican Tele
2007 Les Paul Studio
Takamine acoustic that I bought in the mid 1980s
Yamaha AEX502, or something like that, a semihollow body electric probably made in the late 90s
Ibanez acoustic/electric nylon string, 2 years old

I play the Tele 99% of the time.

Had a 1969 telecaster that I bought in 1973, it got to be too valuable, and I received a offer I couldn't refuse.

Also had a 1959 Danelectro U1, bought it in 1974, foolishly traded it for a Peavy amp in the 1990s. Don't regret selling the Tele, but wish I still had the Danelectro.

I've always wanted a Danelectro. Jimmy Page used one quite a bit in the Zeppelin Days. Cool guitar.

it's really an addiction that should be covered by insurance.

I am building my own acoustic. That can slow or divert the symptoms.

Are you starting from scratch or doing a kit build ? Either way, that's pretty cool.

I’ve been “building” an electric with a mixture of custom and stock parts since 2008 haha. No closer now than I was then. Although I spent a pretty penny on a custom body and neck/fretboard from CA with green LED inlays on the fretboard.

Need to finish that sometime...

In between. Getting pieces on ebay and LMI some are just boards, but the neck I found is near completed out of the box.

Ibanez GIO - POS
Alvarez classical guitar with a fishman pickup in it - love this guitar though I sometimes wish it had a cutaway.

Favorite is my MVG Les Paul which I recently customized with grover locking tuners and a Gibson classic 57 bridge pickup.
