This one is my favorite guitar. This baby fits likes a glove in my hand. I will usually pick this one up for mostly for Gospel, Blues and R&B playing.

Now, this baby is a real work horse. The DC-200 is my "swiss-knife" guitar. This one is my choice for gigs that I'm not sure on what kind music I will play. I purchased this one just for Rock and some Jazz playing. However, just from a flick of a switch the pickups can become either passive or active. I can switch from humbuckers to single coils and change the tone of the guitar instantly. When it's switch to the single coil mode, I will get the clean sound (similar to the Bolt) that I like for Blues, Gospel and R&B music.

This is one gem of a dual channel amp. It's very light to carry and the sound is sweet. Even though this amp does not employ vacuum tubes,  the electronics are so advanced that it actually sounds like it is a tube amp. That would be channel one. My guitar can go from slightly dirty to pure growling grit distortion. Channel two is crystal clean.

After I've added this one to my arsenal of effects, I've placed most of individual stomp boxes on the shelf. With amp emulations built-in, I love the fact that I can plug directly into the house system and sound like I'm actually playing through an amp on stage. I can also disable the built-in amps and only enable just the effects when I play through my guitar amp. My whole rig is in packed in bag!
