The main guitar I play is my BC Rich Virgin. I think BC Rich are probably my favourite guitar manufacturer. This is my third and they've all been amazing.
It's an awesome guitar! I've fitted a DimeBucker bridge pickup and the tone is amazing. I'm now looking to upgrade the neck pickup to give a more versatile sound.
I tend to use standard tuning as I play a lot of shred and thrash metal but I sometimes use drop D, drop C or even drop B (but the last two usually mean I need to change the strings to a heavier guage)
In my band we play mostly death/black metal but at home I'm into playing thrash/speed/power metal.
I play some blues as well, mostly Gary Moore stuff.
If I was to sum up my style that I've developed over the past 8 years of playing it'd be 'Thrashy Speedy Bluesy Death Metal with lots of pinch harmonics'

My favorite guitar is the one I own. It's nothing too fancy- a Jay Turser acoustic. It has a gorgeous pearl vine inlay on the fretboard. The back and sides are blond quilted maple, which is just beautiful. It also has a nice full sound.
My dream guitar though is a Gibson Hummingbird. Maybe one day I'll own one.
I'd also like to have a Gibson Les Paul Custom and a Fender Nashville Telecaster.
I like to play anything from bluegrass to country to acoustic zeppelin and the who. I usually only play in regular tuning, it suits my voice fine.

I like any kind of Guitar. Electric is awesome but so is acoustic. I got an acoustic guitar for cristmas and I've strummed on it a little. I haven't learned anything yet, but it's only because I haven't actually sat down and tried to. What I play best would have to be the Iron Man tune... but that's the only thing I can play, so of course it's what I play best.

My favorite is/was one that I built myself. It has an explorer style body with a solid rosewood neck (not a rosewood fret board laminated onto a maple back, a solid rosewood neck!). I picked the explorer body because it was large enough so that I could hollow out a cavity in the back that was big enough to put some electronics. I ripped the guts out of a delay, a chorus, and a "tube screamer" and put them into the guitar body. It was very nice to free myself from having to run back to a particular spot to stomp on a pedal every time I wanted to change the sound. It was also nice because it saved floor space in smaller venues.
EDIT:
Oops... forgot to say that I played in various punk and straight ahead rock-n-roll bands during the 80's and early 90's

i've had a mexican strat for years. i had to replace the springs a while back because of some over-zealous whammy bar action, but other than that it has held up great and still sounds good. it's a great value for the price.
um, i mostly play acoustic on my martin, so no drop C thrashing for me. I'm okay with standard tuning, but i like to tune each string down a whole step.
i like finger picking and playing the blues.

I like Guilds, the CO-1 is a very nice acoustic I reckon, I usually play fingerstyle in a standard tuning but I do play some nick drake now and then and its a nightmare, he uses a lot of open tunings the weirdest of which is a BEBEBE, string snapper! :)

B C Rich are very good! I play Gibson Les Paul and a Guild acoustic. Prefer acoustic these days! Mainly play bluegrass and folk. Happy strumming!!

my 10 quid guitar from ebay, technically rubbish but is an extention of my arm.
Like to play Johnny cash type stuff using standard tuning but prefer a drop d when playing some Korn on my other cheap but scuzzy electric
