Based on what I own:

Favorite Guitar: Tie between my Takamine EAN55C and my PRS Custom
Favorite Amp: Fender Blues DeVille were I in a band situation, Mustang I for practice (coincidentally, these are the only two amps I own).
Favorite Pedal: Mesa V-Twin, but I've not spent a whole lot of time with pedals outside of distortions and a chorus. As such I'm having fun messing with effects int he Mustang.

Favorite Tone: No favorites as I love so many

Your Actual Genre: your basic pre-shred bluesy rock guitar player with some country (although I'm not a real fan of the genre, just the guitar playing), jazz (studied it but far from mastered it), and shreddy (heart wasn't in it, but there's some stuff that I picked up and techniques I apply to my playing)
Professional (Y/N): Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...I wish on some levels, but glad it's not on others.
