I Googled the 21 rules of tone, but apparently it's a secret. I dig what he says about a good instrument being less subtractive. My dad has a PRS. It's immaculate. And plays like butter. Great balance, a slippery neck with an easy light feel.
I didn't even know they made acoustic guitars.

It's the year of the metal rat so why not stainless ferret.
 Another Fender...

That's called a string tree. It puts tension on the strings above the nut. When the headstock doesn't have a break angle you need them on the lighter strings. Gibsons use an angled head, fender does the trees.
Your cigarette goes between the 1st and 2nd strings up above the tree. Or tucked under the 6th like Clapton used to do. The strings are numbered upside down as you hold it 6: thickest, Low E 5: A 4: D 3: G 2: B 1: high E

Jim Hetfield the frontman for Metallica acquired a few bucks and had a number of custom cars built.
He's is loaning 10 of them to the Peterson Museum. What? This is the guitars thread? Ok, I'm getting there. He also donated two of his guitars to be auctioned off for the benefit of the museum. The prices are list new, I don't know what was bid for them, I'd imagine more.

He's got a "type", doesn't he?

Those are the two he's giving away so that may not be his type. I'm assuming he gets them for nothing, being a big star has its perks.
Here is a list of the 85 guitars he plays the most. On that page are links to the others he doesn't play as often, his acoustic guitars, and guitars he used in concerts.

The body is strat shaped, but there's no contour, and the pickups and bridge are like a Gibson. SuperStrat. The inlay on the fret board is involved.
