I have a Leolani Ukulele 
My younger brother and co brewer does. He has about 10 guitars. Not sure all the names but one he actually had custom made for him when he was in Spain. He's been playing for probably about 15 years I'd guesstimate. He studies it in school and even played during my wedding ceremony.

I have too many. Fender Strat, Gibson Les Paul Custom, PRS Custom 22 & Custom 24, Ibanez RG550, Taylor 714ce, a few others in there too...those are the main ones. You could say that my guitar obsession is on the backburner while brewing is cranked up to 11. Who knows, maybe one day it will swing back the other way.
Thats funny you say that. Nirvana was his first favorite band that really inspired him to get started when he was younger. It seems like such a cool hobby. I wish I picked it up when he did. He is just getting into painting with acrylics. He is definitely artistic. The best part is he brings his guitar over and plays while we drink and brew.

I'm right with ya, but my passion are Gibson Les Pauls. I had close to 15 Les Pauls. A few vintage pieces too. I still have a couple 50's Juniors. I sold a bunch last year. I don't play as much as I use to since I starting brewing. I have a very nice PRS that I haven't played in a while. I have to pull that one out.

I have an old ass messed up Gibson acoustic (head stock is broke in half and glued together- it works and sounds great though) and an Epiphone electric.. o, and a Kramer that I haven't touched in like 20 years... I play some still but mostly just a little blues and strumming to entertain the kids.... this thread is making me miss playing.
I've got an old acoustic made in Czechlozavakia from when I was a kid. Last summer I had it signed at Taste of Madison by all the bands who played the rock stage. Smile Empty Soul, Powerman 5000, and Nonpoint to name a few.

Guitars and homebrew is a winning combo...that's why I keep them right next door to eachother!

I have an early 2000's Gibson Les Paul, a Heritage 535 (335-type), a cheapo Sigma acoustic (Martin knock-off), and a couple of Strats I assembled using either Warmoth or USA Custom parts (one of each). Also have an old Kramer Focus Strat-shaped (but pointy headstock) guitar with original Floyd Rose but I never play that one anymore. I was just playing the USA Custom Strat into my homebrewed Trainwreck Rocket (AC30 Top Boost inspired amp) with a Chandler Tube Driver and an H&K Replex last night.
Here's the Heritage:
The Les Paul next to another homebrew amp (it's not nearly that red irl):
The Homebrew Strats (USA Custom on left, Warmoth on right). The USA Custom was finished by the guy who does Brad Paisley's paisley Teles::
And another one I almost forgot, a Dickerson Lap Steel guitar/amp rig from the 1940's in beautiful teal mother-of-toilet seat (with a Marshall 2555 head and another homebrew 50W Marshall 'smallbox' head in background):

I have a RI made Guild cut away electric/acoustic that sadly sits under the bed unplayed.
Played it for 10 years or so and realized I much prefer listening to someone talented.
Then my at the time 17 year old soon to be step son confirmed it. Some people are meant to play music and others simply are not. Sadly, I fall in the latter group.
I freaking love the guitar, but I'll let folks like Steve Kimock play them.

Yeah after they sold to Fender, their desirability fell off of the table. I think they are made in Mexico now.

lets see..... Martin D-28 ("spare tire" in case I break a string) 1976 Mossman Flint Hills, 1979 Mossman 12-string Flint Hills (it's for sale), Paul Beard metal body resonator guitar, and my primary axe, Huss and Dalton TDR custom. Also keep an early 70's Gibson RB-250 banjo in the closet... oh, almost forgot, there is a Mexican Telecaster with "Texas Tele" pick-ups in there someplace too....
also speaking of guitars has anybody else seen this: http://rocksmith.ubi.com/rocksmith/en-US/ basically it's guitar hero but using a real guitar and it has lessons and exercises as well

Love the lap steel rig!
I also have a Sigma Martin. Had it for over 20 years and it sounds great. Otherwise, I have a Les Paul Gold Top, Mexican Strat, Ibanez ArtStar from the early 90s (Gibson ES-335 knock-off) and a Fender P-Bass.
But it's hard to talk guitars without talking about amps and effects. I just re-tubed my 1999 Vox AC-30TB (Korg Re-issue) and I'm replacing the Celestion Greenbacks with Celestion Alnico Blues (UK made). Fedex should be delivering them today, so I'm psyched.
I won't even get into all the effects I have. Most are vintage effects and the list is too long.
I've been getting back into guitar playing/music more and more lately. It's been overshadowing my homebrewing! (gasp)

ive seen tutorials on it before, it seems pretty cool for someone who is more intermediate, or who just loves learning how to play their favorite tune perfectly!

I have an Epiphone Special edition ES-135 (My Favorite), Special Edition SG, Fender P-Bass, and an Ibanez Acoustic.
I also have an Ohana sk100 soprano Ukulele. Nothin' like home brew and ukulele strumming to put a smile on your face!

Yah, that blue is gorgeous in person. And, for a Korean made guitar, the fit and finish is as good as any Gibson I've seen. It sounds great, too.

I have only two and haven't touched either for over a year. A carvin sc90 and a '78 Gibson sg double neck. I looked up the Gibson a while back and apparently it was one of the last made in Kalamazoo. I hope its worth something someday!
I still have much more invested in my guitar rig than homebrewing...this hobby is cheap
