Hey Shreekant,
Not much to tell there. I've been collecting guitars for years, I'm the grandson of a cabinet maker and I love woods and guitar construction has always fascinated me. I have about fifteen guitars and basses. I'm going to start downsizing and sell about half of them this coming year or so. I just don't need all these. I play a little bit. For playing I love Fender and Martin for guitar, Fender for bass (though I do have a Wishbass I love and a full size bass violin). I like Fender amps, I have a '59 Bassman Reissue LTD, and a Blues Jr. NOS. I like the modern interpretation of the tweed amp circuit sound.
My most often played guitars are a Billy Corgan Signature Stratocaster (white, great stacked Humbucker pickups and a hard-tail bridge), a Deluxe Mahogany Stratocaster (darker, richer sound from the wood), a '59 Jazzmaster Thinskin Reissue (the Strats are easier to play but the Jazzmaster has a sound that I really sink into, and it has two circuits, so you can set up a rhythm and a solo sound and switch between them with just one switch), a Martin 00-15 (so easy to play with that compact body, and such a cool vintage blues sound) and a Martin D-15S (again mahogany top, but with the old school slotted headstock, the dreadnought body style, and only 12 instead of 14 frets above the body, big full round sound).
I have another Strat that I really like, a "parts" one with a walnut body and a flame maple top and some really nice walnut inlay in stripes but I need a different neck on it, it has a sort of vintage Telecaster neck on it and I'm just not a fan, even though there's great inlay on the headstock. At some point I'm going to put a modern Strat neck on it. The sound on this one is great, I like a heavier sound in a Strat. The rarest guitar I have is an early Ovation Breadwinner (with single-ended pickups, so one of the first few years). It's not in perfect condition, but I ought to see what I could get for that.
