My Buddy Guy strat is giving me orgasms after 6 months of playing it it still turns me on :-))

I love the PRS guitars as well, IMHO they sound the best -

You can't beat the sound of a PRS through a Mesa Boogie amp-
Hate to say it but it kills the Les paul's i have played.....

I also just bought a Boss ME-50 and it's the best effects pedal I have ever owned!

Fender Stratocaster all the way, the most road worthy guitars I have ever owned over the last 20 years of playing.

You sound like you need a guitar with Dual Humbuckers and a Rosewood fretboard. The tone is a little heavler than Maple fretboards.

Check out guitars with active electronics. Dont get a guitar with a floyd rose or other system. If its not string thru body the tone wil be insanely thin.

Ibanez are nice, but only in the high end models. JEM series are nice. the standard RG series are Shit. I've had them, totally thin.

There are only 2 amps out there worth using.

1. Marshall - The Original of them all. JCM9000's totally scream.
2. Mesa-Boogie - Get a Vintage Mark V if you can.

The line6's with their Digital things are nice and all, but, when you are playing in a club and something goes funky on the amp or in your rig, you dont want the whole tone to be dependant on your cool settings / mixed settings. I've had a million pedals / processors and they all go south on you at the gig, never at home.

Also, most people 10 - 20 feet out cant hear the effects anyway.

Best investment I ever made for my live rig is a Nasty Wireless. $150 about 10 years ago. Nothing beats a wireless guitar, never trip over a cord again.

REAL Strats are more than 400 CDN. You're looking at shit strats. Bear in mind I think all strats are shit strats but the cheap ones truly are.

I have like 14 guitars, and at this point I am buying custom made. Although I just saw Kramer reissued the 5150 guitar and am thinking about picking one of those up and having the 5150 pattern painted on it as a collectable.

I just saw a cheap double neck (one guitar one bass) Steinberger )spirit series whatever that is) - that thing looks pretty cool and it's pretty cheap.

The biggest decision I have in guitars is whether I want a trem. Usually I do - which prevents me from getting a Paul or many other snob guitars.

The nicest playing axe I have is an Ibanez RG570 - but it is also the worst sounding axe I own. My current guitar Ed Roman is building has the feel of the 570, but with real wood. It is getting a korina back with all strange maples up top and on the fingerboard. I'm thinking amboyna with burly everything and a birdseye maple fingerboard. And a floyd and two duncans and a Floyd sustainiac. Add a kill switch and we're golden.

Total cost - so far - $4000. What the hell, I've earned it.
