Ashamed to say, it was a Squier Hello Kitty Strat. Surprising for obvious reasons. I like brighter and lighter sounding humbuckers through cranked old Fenders. And my pink HK Strat sounds pretty well through my amps. My black one, not as well. Surely it's just coincidence.

THIS!!
I bought my 92 LP Classic with the intent of trading it to a buddy for his SG (he had no idea my plan)...but once I had it...I couldn't let it go...never even made an offer.

Behringer BSY600, KILLER Bass synth, works great on guitar, tons of fun to use, also very versaitille.

My Squier Classic Vibe Tele.
I traded a Peavey Tracer for it as the Tracer just murdered my hand. I was expecting it to be decent as I'd heard good things about them, but I've been totally blown away by how good a guitar it is.

GUITAR: Picked up a Cort G250 SSH superstrat for $120 on eBay ... I've had so many superstrats over the years - just never stand the test of time (I"m a LP guy at heart). The quality of this guitar is stellar in the bang for buck range. totally blew my expectations out the window - every time I pick it up, it blows my mind how good it really is (and that NOBODY knows about it is even better).
AMP: Kustom Solo16 little SS practice amp with factory Celestion 8" speaker - fucking glorious bedroom amp for classic rock tonez. Another amp that nobody knows about.

Kustom really do make great little practice amps! This is exactly what I think of mine (a couple of posts back).
Cort make some really nice guitars. Their natural finish M520 is REALLY nice. Thier M600 looks great as well.
