The song is in G, as far as I can remember. The chords played under the solo at least are all power chords in the key of G (and D too for that matter).

She got tired of your 28 guitars and you told her you would sell 3? Awesome.

I would honestly sell all you've pre-selected, except the telecaster, the les paul and the PRS.
