I love my EJ 3 Color Sunburst from Wildwood. Best Strat I've ever played. I love the specs on this guitar. I'm not a huge fan of EJ's work, but he can spec out a guitar.
I also have an Albert Lee Music Man HH with the rosewood neck that I'm not crazy about. I'll probably swap out the...

I have the inspired by Lennon Casino. I absolutely love this guitar. It plays and sounds great. One can cover a lot of ground by just rolling back the volume knob.

I think the EJ Strat is the best bang for the buck guitar in Fender's line-up. I also like that it doesn't scream I'm a signature guitar; the only clues being the neck plate and the lack of string trees.
Rickenbacker 360 x 2. I ordered one and the neck was twisted. I returned it and ordered another one and the neck was worse.
It's a real shame too, because I've always loved the aesthetics and sounds these guitars produce.
I have two signature guitars; an Eric Johnson Strat and an Albert Lee RWMM. Although, I respect and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lee, I wouldn't say that I am a huge fan of their music, but I am a huge fan of the specs on the guitars.
I don't care if it's a signature guitar or not. If it has the specs...
