It would be like trying to choose between children.

That said, CW is my least favorite to play but most interesting to look at. It just feels heavy and clunky.

Blackie is starting to feel it's age and now spends most of its time hung on the wall. Having been together 20+ years, while it may not be the first guitar I would pick up to play is it my favourite guitar?

Of the others, all different, but I am equally happy with all of them. I don't pick up any of them and wish I was playing the other.

If the house was burning down I would grab Blackie first.

This one, my late '65. It's the first guitar I ever bought and it has been with me more than 50 years.

I think she's a keeper.

Nah.
You’re still just trying her out.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

My best Strat is my Road worn 60's with the stock pickups and an Emerson wiring kit which includes their paper cap and blender pot. Stays in tune and sounds awesome. I can't put it down.

This is the lightest most resonant electric guitar I have ever played in my 33 years of playing.
Fender hit a home run with these...

That's good to know. I've played some Road Worn Teles that I liked but never a RW Strat.....yet!
You don't see many on the gear classifieds, so they must be keepers.
