Just picked up my American Strat (1K). Adding SD's SSL's (1-1-5), putting on a graph tech nut / saddles, and some locking tuners. I've always wanted the icon since I was a kid getting into playing. Sometimes I don't want to play, but just sit and look at it. 8)

But I have other way less expensive guitars that are way more valueable to me.

Well.....mine would be my 1955 Gibson Les Paul Gold, not a Gold Top, but all Gold. Front, Side, back, back of the neck and back of head stock.
I have no idea what its worth but to me its priceless. My brother gave it to me in 1969 to take care of for him till he returned from South Viet Nam.....long story short , Iam still taking care of "Lester" . not for sale !


That guitar is priceless. I'm sure the guitar is a poor substitute for your brother though. Like others, I'd love to see a photo but if it's too personal, I would definately understand.

the one in the picture is my 2009 Gibson Les Paul Standard. A beautiful looking, sounding, and playing guitar. Worth every penny.

But, my first fender, a 1995 MIM standard that I turned into a dual humbucker strat while in college, is my most prized possession. It's the one guitar that if it were stolen, I truly wouldn't be able to replace it. I could buy another and put the same stuff in it, but it wouldn't have the mileage that my old MIM has on it. Learned how to play hundreds of songs on it, and took it onstage in front of a couple thousand people, twice, while in college. Some of my fondest musical memories were with that guitar in my hands.
Here is was when I was 17.

On stage in college...2000 (I'm in the far right with the blue strat)

and again in 2001, same venue

And here she is now. It got to it's current state of modifications in 1999, and haven't changed it since.

I just look at that guitar sometimes, and can't help but think of all the memories.

The most expensive guitar I have is one that cost me about $350 in parts (vintage v neck and tuners, scalloped bracing, solid rosewood back and sides, solid AAA grade spruice top, ebony fingerboard and bridge) and about $1200 in tools, and about 2 months to build. It sound great but the craftsmanship is lacking.

It was my beater/beach guitar and it sounds way better than it looks.

I posted this pic in another thread but I never pass up the chance to show off my Guild Starfire IV. I bought it new in '67 and had the bigsby installed by the shop which I guess makes it a Starfire V. I used to take it with me traveling and the original case is beat up more than the guitar. I even have the original neck tag.
