I've always liked the look of the EBMM Luke's (or their Sterling counterparts) as sensible superstrats.
There's usually some interesting stuff on the fretboard forum, like this satriani ibanez: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/188818/ibanez-js1000-black-sparkle-850 , this EBMM EVH https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/192928/sold-ernie-ball-music-man-ebmm-evh-eddie-van-halen-guitar-july-1991 or this jackson (sold now) https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/191175/jackson-usa-pc1-suhr-modern-satin-gibson-lp-classic-all-sold
I'm strongly considering a consolidation of electric guitar gear and a few new items in place of the old...
Sell:
PRS Santana SE (my first proper guitar and I thought I'd never sell it but I feel like it's a bit excessive to keep...)
PRS Tremonti SE
Fender Stratocaster (Partscaster w/1992 62 AVRI neck, nitro refinished early 80s Squier body and Van Zandt Vintage Plus pickups)
Squier Master Telecaster Thinline HH
Laney LC15
Keep:
PRS Custom 22
Danelectro Baritone
Fender Duo-Sonic
Dean Dimeicorn Project (at least for the time being until it's finished)
Acquire:
Superstrat : Something with 24 frets/ ideally HS but probably HH/ Floyd Rose or else one of the very good non-locking tremolos like a Gotoh 510/ thicker neck, not an Ibanez RG/ more on the old school 80s end of the spectrum but nothing too flashy...
Current frontrunners are...
Ibanez AZ2402
80s ESP Horizon or Mirage
Shijie TM-6
Another Strat : I never really gelled with that Partscaster but I think I might like a slightly more modern feeling Strat while still sounding vintage
Current frontrunners are...
Shijie STE HSS
Ibanez AZ2204
Musicman Cutlass RS HSS
Some monitors and a new interface : My Apogee has a janky connection and I don't own monitors.
Any suggestions or recommendations for alternative guitar choices and also monitors and interfaces?
