I have a custom built Suhr standard with a one piece quilt top that I had built in 2015 that I don't ever see myself selling. With the hurricane situation down here this week I had the thought that if we had to evacuate and I could only take 3 guitars with me, it was the first one I would grab. It does everything I want it to do. It became my number one guitar right after I received it and still is the first guitar I reach for. It has an HSS pickup configuration which makes it versatile. I had it made with a mahogany body and the quilt maple top, maple neck with rosewood fretboard. It has some PRS elements and a few Fender elements to it.
The other two guitars that immediately came to mind were my PRS 2012 Experience P22 and my McCarty 594. That really made me think about selling a bunch of guitars and having a 594 custom made.

Ah, Gibson SG I believe! Got it 1300 years ago from what I recall!! Collings acoustic (or did you sell that?)!!!
Same for my 1997 Cu22 10 Top. My #2 is a 2006 Suhr Classic T

Big fan of R9 and R8 Les Pauls. If there is one that is going in my tomb, it is this one:

My Ken Smith Black Tiger.
Been playing bass for over 20 years now, and these Smith’s are special. Nothing else sounds like them.

After numerous Strats and 2 Silver Sky’s, I conceded I was NOT a Strat guy… Till I found this one……… It really is special. No Strat type fiddle has ever had the tones this one has…. Its lovely..

I have hung on to my James Tyler Studio Elite HD for 20 some years. It's an early 3 digit serial number, one of the ones that Jim made himself. I don't play it a lot but I am not sure I could easily replace it.
I still have my one remaining BFR Majesty. There is a lot to love about it but I really wish that it was a hair narrower at the nut. It's a throwback to the Ibanez RG and FGM100s of my youth.

Beautiful guitar!
So did your wife believe you when you said, "But honey, I didn't buy this, I found it growing right out of the ground in the woods!" and showed her the pic?

I will probably never get rid of my Martin D-28 with maple Bigsby neck (100 made).
I also can't see me getting rid of my '97 Fender Jazz Bass.
I'd be hard-pressed to dump my '05 LP Classic, despite me not being a singlecut guy.
Another tough move would be the '17 Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Thinline Tele with rosewood neck. As odd as this description reads it is a sweet-playing, sweet-sounding machine.
I have a Custom Shop Strat that was spec'd for me and it slays so hard to lose that.
The R8 i'll probably end up moving this year because i like my 594 better. It just feels more natural to me.

I have thinned a bunch out over the years but the ones i can't let go for whatever reason;
Old ibanez rg 7 string that has been stripped and rebuilt a few times.
Mid 60s model fender mustang that was my fathers
Fender acoustic
Fender 5 string jazz bazz from my bass playing days.
Nothing special to anyone else but me.
