Steel - never been able to sound like myself with nylon...
Electro-acoustic, or plain acoustic, mic'd?
Ooooo tough choice.
Personally I like playing my acoustic as is, no mic's, I have an electro/wired acoustic and a semi acoustic as well.
So I would have to say Electro acoustic.
Practice: Standing or sitting?

Standing
set neck or bolt on?
Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.

Set
Fret board: Rosewood or Beech?
"We Are The Facilitators Of Our Own Creative Evolution".
Of the two, rosewood - but I love my one-piece maple neck Strat the best ;-)
(Odd thing, till fairly recently I'd have always said just rosewood (my Tele's rosewood) but I'm coming to appreciate the Strat's neck more and more...)
Sweeeet most of mine are Rosewood, I love it on my Ibanez but would love to have a Maple one on my Strat.
Fixed or Floating Bridge?
"We Are The Facilitators Of Our Own Creative Evolution".
F-l-o-a-t-i-n-g - all that lovely springy resonance - yum!
Recessed jack or in a plate on the side?
Yeah floating bridges are awesome.
Awww man that depends on the guitar!!
I love the jack on the side for my semi, because the whole look of the guitar would be spoiled if it was on the front.
Some electrics look sexy with a recessed.
Can I say both?
Stickers or No Stickers?
"We Are The Facilitators Of Our Own Creative Evolution".
Eeeeeeeeeeewww! Stickers? NEVER!
Stomp boxes - side by side or all in a pedalboard?
Side by Side.
Humbuckers or Single Pickups?
"We Are The Facilitators Of Our Own Creative Evolution".
Single-coil - I did have an off and on affair with a nice cherry SG for a few years, but otherwise all single-coil...
Keep your guitar out, on a stand, or put it to bed in its case every night?

I'd like to have a VERY on affair with that SG, still got it?
I have to confess mine are out, I've got a couple of acoustics on the wall and the rest are on stands. Mostly to save space and for safety because most of my guitars came in soft cases.
Gibson SG old style or Gibson SG Supreme ?
"We Are The Facilitators Of Our Own Creative Evolution".
No, I haven't, Pet... it was a casualty of a cash-flow problem around 16 or so years ago. I still miss that guitar! Of all the twin-humbucker axes, that's the one that does it for me...
so of course the answer is, old style - no maple allowed anywhere near! - and the old slim tapered neck with trapezoids - ideally, that little pickguard. (Mine was around 1970 I think - still a nice neck, but the bigger pickguard.)
SG Supreme because I really Like that Emerald Burst.
Tuning pegs on one side, or 3 to a side?
It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
all on one!
Gibson or Ibanez?
Life is my friend
Rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon
Especially in Michigan
...well I could be your friend- RHCP
