So what does everyone else out there have? And please nobody mention those 'Affinity' Stratocasters that you can buy from Argos for £100!! :D
What tuning do you normally play in?
I usually play in standard (EADGBE), but I sometimes play in drop-D.
Strat (US), sounds gorgeous.
Tele (Jap), sounds good, plays like a dream.
Played through a Bassman. Not big on effects, more likely to add them in the mix, but use a Vox wah - beautifully warm sound.
That's it.
Tune to standard, but sometimes play slide, in which case I tune to a chord (D,G,D,G,B,D or D,A,D,F#,A,D).

i usually have a guitar in regular (AEDGBE), one tuned to drop C and one in a tuning of (CGCGCE), which is a low open C when played unfretted, it gets nice harmonies.

Everything! Well, apart from chordal tuning. Mostly I use standard tuning, but i also use e-flat (same as hendrix, guns n roses), drop d (although i hate bands who use it all the time), drop-d-flat (mixture of the previous two), whole tone down, and recently (e.g. last two weeks) ive used some outrageously heavy tunings. mainly drop b (Low to high: B, F#, B, E, G#, c#), and even drop-A (same as drop-b but one extra tone down). Thats for slipknot songs such as My Plague and The Heretic Anthem, and some Arch Enemy stuff aswell. Another strange one i like is dropped-b-standardm which is all standard tuning with the bottom string as a B, its used in Audioslave - Gasoline, and Black Label Society - Low Down. or you can combine this with drop-b for example and you end up with Low to High: G#, F#, B, E, G#, C#, its good because when you try to do a powerchord, you end up with an octave. the heaviest ive ever seen is Messugah, who use an 8-string guitar de-tuned 1 step. so the lowest string is an E, but an octave below normal tuning (i THINK). They also use 14-guage strings!!! Speaking of string sizes:

Taylor Big Baby Steel-stringed Acoustic
Yamaha Pacifica
Picks
Dunlop .46mm
Uhh... that's about it :-D
Don't own any amps or effects because I play the acoustic, Pacifica was a hand-me-down from my bro that I started on before getting my Big Baby for my birthday. I think I'm actually in love with it... It's got an awesome sound and I know how lucky I am to have it.
