No, Tele? OK, my Gretsch 6120-60 or Historic '56 Les Paul. Someday, a nice Historic SG/Les Paul with a Bigsby.

My Jaguar.

The cool thing about those offset Fenders is that you can bend the strings behind the bridge. I employed that yesterday at a band rehearsal when I made some steel guitar-like bends on my Jaguar by just pushing the G an B string behind the bridge.

Much easier than pulling strings near the headstock. I've never found much use for it in my playing, though.

Seing that you ruled out Esquires, Probably a LP Junior. Any other Gibson seems to expensive and sensetive for my liking.

Yup me too! I love the sound of those P90's and I find it to be a good compliment tonewise to the tele.

I must admit I also have a strat...

because i could only choose a fender, i chose the "jazzmaster". i love the stratocaster and jaguar too, but i'm really a "fat" single-coil sort of guy. that thick, but cutting, midrange, with plenty of "twang", of p-90s, dynasonics, and certain telecaster pickups, is "my" sound, and the jazzmaster does it wonderfully.

if i could choose any guitar, though, it would probably be some sort of an archtop with p90s or dynasonics (and, if i had my way, it would probably be a '53 gibson es-295 or '55 gretsch 6120... but i don't have the kind of money to have it quite that way... oh well... )

An acoustic or an LP Junior.

Maybe a Gretsch... provided I could keep the thing in tune.
