I don't suppose you've ever played something like the Guild Benedetto or Artist Award, have you?
Those are really a high end (for me) and nothing I would start with. But I'm still looking for a "Do it all" guitar -- sound great plugged in. Sound great acoustic. Maybe it doesn't exist in the sub $10K range tho. IDK.

I have played an Artist award...wonderful guitar!
I still think a much cheaper Guild X-175 is a better electric, though...but if you want a Swiss Army Guitar (at least for when it comes to jazz sounds), anything Johnny Smith related is a good bet.
I think, in the cheaper range, if you want a guitar that works both ways, look at Eastman, look at the Loar, and seriously, the lowly Godin. And jump into the world of archtops...you'll see why so few of us just have just one!
