Which of the guitars in your collections actually get played? These are my main four. All of which have gotten extensive studio recording time, and Stage time. Except for the telecaster. Mainly because it is the newest addition to my collection. (The cu22 is also "new" but it is the same model as another I have had that was the main instrument on the album we have been working on). From left to right they are a Schecter c/sh-1 semi hollow. Custom built tele from Tim Weber. PRS Custom 22 10 top. PRS SE A40E acoustic. They are my semi, single coil, humbucker solid and acoustic. I do have several other nice guitars in my collection. (Many of you have much more vast collections than I do). But these are the ones that actually have my grimy DNA ground into it most frequently. What are yours?

I pretty much play my McCarty HBII but I have been pulling out the PS CU24 quite a bit the past 8 weeks or so!! Probably half and half time over those weeks.

I've not been playing my Martin J-40 at all because I may have to part with it to make something really special happen and I don't want to fall in love with it again!
 
I probably should have said "Played OUT" as I have a couple of pretty cheap guitars at my shop that I keep there so that I don't really worry about what happens to them. They get a good amount of me working out songs on them as they are at hand all day while I am at work.
 
These are the main ones that get played in the home studio.

Depends on the gig. I do a Hendrix tribute band so obviously strat. I use the prs513 in a prog instrumental band and most variety gigs ( I do lots of theater). I use my tele and Shishkov DC for as needed tones. Honestly my most played instrument is my National resophonic delphi
 
In terms of a rating usinf three event spaces [often to always (ota), from time to time (f3t), seldom to none (stn)] I first need to mention, that a few of all my electrics rest in a case (1×; Parker Fly Deluxe) or are stored outside of my flat at my parents in law's house [2×; Rockinger Rudvog, a Partscaster with a Legend/Aria body, a hand wound SSS pickguard (inspired by David Gilmour; currently it is modified with a custom aluminum neck (reversed head stock) by Baguley Guitars and a Vegatrem at Baguley Guitars - then this guitar will highly likely move to my flat.]
Hence eight electrics are stored with easy access in a one 7 guitars multistand and one single stand.
