Not seeing a lot of 5 stringers here, at least in the most recent pages. Here's my #1 five string.

I have a Tele that I keep in Open G. Instead of just having the 5 strings, I use 6. I tune the 2 low strings to G. I find it sometimes fattens up the sound a little bit.

Need some advice. I'm looking to buy a new guitar and I'm mostly interested in playing blues and rock and roll. I'm stuck between an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top Pro and an Epiphone Casino or Sheraton. What would be the best. All three are beautiful sounding and looking guitars.

Very cool idea. With 3 of the 6 stings tuned to G, I imagine that would fatten it up a bit. I never take that low string off when I play in open G and have learned to exploit the low 5th (D) that that lowest string provides. There is another form of open G that Lowell George used with slide which I think tunes the high E string to G.
Check out the great demonstration of it in this vid:

Let the guitar pick you Ram. I'd bet one will talk to you, tell you how many great songs it has hidden in it's wood, whisper sweet somethings in your ears as you stroke it's neck. I've got $300 swap meet guitars that have served me better than $3000 Les Pauls. Just sayin.....

Ram-
When you are looking at specific guitars is most resonant when guitar is unplugged? Ie - loudest, feel lots of vibrations when you strum all over the guitar.
That being said the Japanese versions of guitars are SUPERB. Especially 80s and 90s.
