If you play, what kind of guitar do you own?

I currently have:

1976 Fender Strat (USA)

1985 Fender Strat (Japan)

2009 52 American Vintage Reissue Fender Telecaster

2009 Peavy HP Special (USA)

Seagul Acoustic

Strat - Cleanest sounding of the bunch

Destroyer - Crunchiest

Ovation - Biggest pain in the ass

Epiphone Strat Style - OK

Les Paul - My favorite

One I made out of old shit - it's the most fn to tool around with

I feel like I'm forgetting about one. . .

Is the Ovation a pain because of its rounded body?  They use to be very popular guitars, but in the past 20 years you very rarely see people playing them. Its amazing they are still making them. When I was younger I had an Appluase, cause I couldn't afford the Ovation. Remember those?

Yeah, my mom still has an Applause. . . 

I've owned 2 Ovations, a deep bowl, and the one I have now is shallow.  The deep bowl was one of the worst I've ever had to play, the action was horrible, sound was muddy, and you could never get comfotable with it.  The edges were sharp, and it would crease into my forearm, and it would never stay fucking still on my knee.  The one I have now has MUCH better action and sound, but it's still not exactly what I'd call comfortable.  It's tolerable though

Yes, it is. You could say that I am obsessed with it. I actually was able to jam with Buddy Guy about 10 years ago. It was the most amazing experience I have ever had. This guy influenced Hendrix and Clapton, and I was jamming with him.

If you are buying good guitars, they will go up in value over time. Gibson Les Paul's, Fender Strats or Telecasters ( must be American Made), Martin Acoustic guitars. The list goes on.

1976 Fender Strat (USA) - I was offered $10K for it.

1985 Fender Strat (Japan) - $650 ( there is whole story behind this one)

2009 52 American Vintage Reissue Fender Telecaster  - $1800

2009 Peavy HP Special (USA) - $1800

Seagul Acoustic - $700

if your a collector, yeah those are the best bets.  

if your a player you can play almost anything.
