+CaptAnderton What about most unusual/different sounding/unique but still good sounding rig for a certain price point. It seems like a lot of your challenges involve really going for a rock/metal or a blues/rock tone. It'd be cool to see where you guys'd go if you had to get something really different. Kinda the opposite of the 'inappropriate sounds' thing you were talking about.

All they did have was a PRS SE Torero with EMGs and a Floyd Rose. Never even thought of that! So I tried it and didn't want to put it down again. I ended up buying the guitar and I love it to bits!
