My friend hasa real nice Ibanez SA160, and that plays nice as fuck.
so what's out there? i really haven't been in a guitar store for a couple years. i don't think i want another fender....so what do you guys have? and what would you reccomend?

For electrics I have an applause Strat, el degas les Paul, Transparent green finish Yamaha Pacifica, and a magtek blue Parker Fly Deluxe.
Acoustic: Yamaha FG-430a
AMPS: Peavey audition 110, '72 all tube Traynor 2 x 12 and I use the line6 Pod as a head.
while amp selection is important, I feel guitar selection is MUCH more important, your choice of wood, pickups tuners bridge types, strings all come together to make up your guitars overall tone. Some guitars like Parker guitars even offer a peizo element to get acoustic tones out of your electric guitar.
It also depends on how much money your willing to spend. For a higher end guitar I'd go with Gibson Les Paul or a Parker Fly (Both VERY different guitars but both VERY nice)

I love my Parker but I might be selling it to buy other things and free up some space.
http://parker.daltech.ca has some pictures (doesn?t do justice) and a deeper description.
