Right now I am in guitar rig heaven - that blissful period when you think you have everything you need to pursue your guitar tone muse.
Guitars
1992 American Telecaster - rosewood neck, heavy gauge strings 12-56. this is my main guitar
Brownsville electric 12 string
1969 Gibson SG Special (thank you Pete Townsend)
Amp
Fender Champion 600
Speaker cabinet
Cordovox Leslie Speaker CL 10
Stomp boxes - too many to mention

my guitar:
I haven't had an amp in years (and I haven't played much in years either), but when it was my main instrument, I ran it through a couple of distortion pedals, a whammy pedal, and a crate g 212 xl:
and yes, I played very fast 
prior to that, it was a gibson V through a randall half stack.
if I do play guitar these days, it's that acoustic sitting in the corner with all the buzzing frets and machine heads that I love (no really, I actually do love the buzzes  )

No guitar rig for me... but my oldest son has a Epiphone Les Paul and a crate practice amp. He really loves that guitar. He can't shred or anything, but he can play "Stairway To Heaven" straight through without f**kin' up.

I play and record though a TonePort by Line 6:
My electric is an American Std. Fender Strat w/ sunburst finish - and I added the tortoise shell pickguard and am looking at replacing the pickups with this guy's amazing pickups: http://www.kinman.com/Default.htm once I can set aside $250
My 6-string acoustic is an Ovation Celebrity - but it's on it's way out due to huge cracks on the face of the guitar. I went on vacation to Hawaii one year, and the luggage guys must have thrown my guitar a round then tossed heavy boxes on top of it. They ended up smashing in part of the FLIGHT CASE and since it was an airline flight... there's nothing I could do about it.
A few years ago, Lou pulled together friends and family to purchase one special gift for my birthday... a 12 string Martin D12X1!
My bass is a Fender Jazz (mex) - It's big, heavy, black and sounds smooth - this is an img of a Standard, not the version made in Mexico:
After the incident with my Ovation and the airlines... Lou gave me this (wedding present) - which is a "Backpacker's Guitar":
I have a few pedals - one by a company SIB - called the Varidrive - quite a powerful tube based pedal (yeah it has tubes!)
I also have an older Roland Guitar synth interface, so I can play my synths with my guitar, but the response time is so slow that it's only good for pad sounds. For fun, I once downloaded maybe 40+ word sound files from the Webster site, converted to mono WAV, then loaded them into my sampler. Then I hooked the guitar midi interface up, and tried playing the 'words' - it was hilarious - sounded horrible... but was quite funny.
I used to have a LOVELY Fender Twin Reverb, but we sold it about 6yrs ago to cover rent. 
(shoot looks like I broke the smilie code on the forums the other day... grrr)

Doof - I saw your guitar and had a vision of you playing it with the elephant mask on
I also totally understand what you mean about liking the buzzing of an old acoustic
SW - I covet your 12 string, I had a Rickenbacker 12 string back in the day, but it was sold to pay for the band's last record.
I forgot to add the Gibson 1966 EB-0 bass.
My Tele has a reputation with my son's friends as being a bitch to play, but a couple of them have made to switch to heavy gauge strings.

Gideon - thanks for this tip about Kinman pickups - I just got a set of Kinman Broadcaster Tele pickups on eBay. I am so excited to hear what they sound like.
