Explorer, because it's a classic. My favorite riff is probably "I Will Follow".
 
I'd say the Gibson SG and the Gibson Les Paul Gold Top... though I also have a serious soft spot for the black and white Fender Stratocaster, since my dad has one just like it :) And I have a cream and white Fender Squier (slightly cheaper version of Strat basically), left-handed, strung backwards :D It's like Jimi Hendrix except not.

Favourite riffs...I have so many!! Vertigo (I know, I know, it's new, but it rules!), Discotheque, The Fly, Streets, SBS, I Will Follow...

Oh, and OzAurora: that red guitar is HOT :heart: That is one sexy guitar...I want it too :drool: you've got a nice acoustic yourself :happy:
 
Gretsch is clearly the winner here. I've seen a lot of Hansa Ton pictures and it looks like they (both Bono & The Edge) used Gretsch guitars heavily on Achtung Baby.

Bono's custom made Gretsch Irish Falcon is the coolest looking guitar I've ever seen.
 
I always loved the Les Paul (every time I hear the ending of UTEOTW) and the Explorer is a great guitar too... , I get goosebumps. I also like Out of Control. Just one of my favourite songs. My guitar looks like his black fender (although its a knockoff with cheesy Van Halen stripes on it...)
