Re: Let's see your rare guitars!
The rarest guitar that I've currently got has 4-strings, super low frets, a body made of questionable wood, and someone put the (surprisingly real mother of pearl) fret dots on her in the wrong place (3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17). Strangely enough, this guitar is actually quite a decent player . . . straight neck and not too much fret buzz:
Betcha nobody else has an early 60s Kent tenor guitar!

Re: Let's see your rare guitars!
Pinky my 1990 Carvin X220C is likely one of a kind. The X220's are in there own rarer than hens teeth but in PEARL PINK??
Then there is Mr Potato the Korean CS neck through
Then the mystery Washburn shop guitar. Looks to be a prototype MG 122 body non production maple neck from 1994 with a strat trem and EMG's. Frankenstein of some sort from the Chicago custom shop while Grover Jackson was running that shop in the mid 1990's. Absolutely stunning to see in person as the colors and dept of the quilt is jaw dropping.
My production MG 120 Chicago Custom Washburn. Few of these out there and this one is pristine.

My Dad had one just like that only white. I absolutely loved the pickups in that guitar! They sounded incredible clean with a little bit of chorus and delay.
Here's one. Not too many Breadwinners around, and very few in this sky blue color:

Re: Let's see your rare guitars!
A chambered body strat. 10+ way switching. Some kind of dimarzio in the bridge. SD Jazz in the neck.
Roland GK pickup built in. Can blend GK with Pickups. So you can give a "pad" to what you're playing, or double it up as a synth or wind instrument, for instance...
Neck is off a 2000 Highway one strat.
Bridge is a wilkinson aluminum trem.
Each humbucker can be series, parallel, or single coil.
same flatwound strings for the past 3 years. And they're still not too bad....
That's a brass doorhinge on the headstock. Scares spirits of bad tone away...

I own one of these. I guess it's sort of rare... eh not really?
It's is the only nice thing that I've actually taken care of for a pretty long time (29 years). Had it refurbed a few years ago. It's in great condition.
I always liked that it had the 1984 on it. Great book, fun year for me, great VH album, etc. :naughty:
Maybe it will be worth something one day. Eh... probably not. It has sentimental value though for me. Sounds pretty good too. I'm not much of an acoustic player so I don't play it that often. My older brother used to see me practicing my electric with it unplugged and he thought I should have an acoustic. I wasn't going to argue.

Re: Let's see your rare guitars!
1989 Heartfield EX-2 - One of only two in this color that has surfaced - I've owned this guitar for 24 years now.
Maybe not rare but unusual:
Carvin ST300 but with Holdsworth neck, 20" AH fingerboard radius and AH headstock - matching body and headstock flametops, locking tuners,
stainless steel frets, abalone dots on ebony board, Wilky bridge, etc.
1997 MIK Ibanez Artist AR300 - model wasn't in the catalog that year - Duncan Jazz pickups, Trisounds, Gotoh Bridge and Tailpiece etc.
Lastly, 1997 Fender Roland Ready Strat with GK2A pickup and Supervee Bladerunner Bridge:
Thing thing sat mint and unused in its former owners case for 15 years before I got it and have been playing the heck out of it. Great guitar even without the hex pickup.

Re: Let's see your rare guitars!
This is an old picture of prototype #4 of 12 of the Mayones Maestro. Made as a hardware-show guitar when the Mayones Co. become the importer of Schaller products for the other side of the iron curtain in the early '90s.
I got it from a crackhead for next to nothing, I've modded it because the Schaller hardware was too expensive. It was the controller of my Roland GR-55 guitar Synth for almost four years.
This is the actual model:
