How on earth have Suhr Guitars not been mentioned?!? I tend to be a fan of the Fender legacy and always have at least one T-style and one S-style in my herd. And I like the look of old school Fender, but John Suhr has taken the Fender legacy to a new level. You get the Fender feel (scale length, bolt-on necks, nitro finishes) but with modern touches (Silent Single Coil technology, compound radii fretboards, rolled edges, PLEK'd setups) that make the playability out of this world. I still have one Fender in my lineup, but my Suhr Classic Antiques are what I grab first.
