In addition I have a Gibson SE copy electric and an Encore Coaster Bass. My latest acquisition is a Squier Stratocaster (Fender copy) which I picked up in a charity shop for £5. It wasn't working, but I ordered a complete pickguard complete with pickups from Amazon for the princely sum of £11.75, put on some new strings and now I have a very playable strat for under £25.
I'm down to two these days - lowest number ever.
I finally settled on a Squire Tele (white with maple neck) and an Epiphone 335 dot.
As I don't gig anymore, I'm just using a Vox VT20 Valvetronix amp.
I actually hate to think how many guitars I've had over the years. I had a couple of Gibsons, but found them disappointing at the price point. Had several USA Strats as well, but settled on a MIJ Strat - it was better than the US ones.
