Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.

I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.

I'm curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D

I wish I could play good enough to do that... What's your favourite type of guitar? I like Jaguars a lot

My SG has been my go-to guitar most of the time since I got it in 2008. It's such a classic.

Though for a few years, my Schecter was challenging my SG for the go-to position. I got the Schecter from the used section in Guitar Center for super cheap. Someone heavily modified it. Custom paint job, custom pick guard (looks like it was a custom cut!), custom tuning pegs, custom pickups. Basically everything was custom. Guitar Center values customized guitars lower, so I got it for under $300 for a guitar that probably should have been close to $1000. The action is amazing. It sounds incredible. It just feels so good to play. So it kinda became my go-to guitar for a few years.

But the SG just fits my play style better. It has more bass in its sound, which sounds really good for palm-muted power chords, which I use heavily when I play. I do a lot of alternating between palm-muted power chords and un-muted higher notes (I play a lot of hardcore music).
