So.. i was wondering.. My music varies, and i really do enjoy anything and everything (except country)... Some joe Satriani, eric clapton, john mayer, some h...

Most versatile guitar

ROFL at Don..

I like what Alan said... Makes sense.. I have seen a couple musicman's, never played one, never seen the steve morse signature.. ☹

I'll probably end up getting a strat... I just love the sound it can make through a fender clean channel.. Just to beautiful not to have one.. My second guitar will probably be a JS 1000 or Jackson soloist.. But, i'll have to sell my car and house to buy those.. ?

Lol, why is that funny? 8)

Like someone said, its not what you play, but how you play it. I have 5 electric guitars and 2 nylons strings and I feel more like a guitarist when I play the nylon. not matter what I play.

but my wife thinks I'm just looking for an excuse to use her nail file. :-\

My thoughts migrate towards a Music Man "Luke" Steve Lukather H-S-S with EMG Active PUPs.

In the more budget range the Ibanez SA260FM (Also H-S-S)

I have to go with a HSS Strat

As long as you don't play your nylon string in a dress while using the nail file you're doing okay Don.. ?

my recommendations would be a prs , prs se, cort m series or similar prs style axe man. jonny hiland needed a "versatile" guitar that could handle a myriad of styles from tele twang, to vai style wammy madness and far as i can tell he seems pretty stoked with his signature prs's. heck if you got the bank balance i'd say just get his signature prs ?

The best looking guitars tend not to be the most versatile ?

Superstrats - ESPs, Ibanez, Yamaha, Jackson, Charvel. These guitars often max out the options.

The Parker Fly - it deserves some respect. It's a really good design. All it needs is someone to be a guitar hero using one and it'll get a lot more attention.

For personality with versatility, you can't go wrong with a Strat with a coil splitting humbucker in the bridge (my Yamaha Pacifica 904 is the same setup) or a Les Paul with coil splitting on both pickups and a kahler bridge - that would kick ass for Me and Bobby McGee, Highway to Hell or Amazing Grace.

I recall that back in the early 80s guys like Tommy Tedesco and (IIRC) Tim May (top, very busy LA session players) always packed a 335 because they felt that was the most versatile instrument.

How about one of these baby's? ?

Lovely guitar that. And of course very versatile.

Get yourself a Ibanez JS1000 / JS1200 / JS1600

Very very versatile guitar... great humbuckers / great splitting options
You can dial into many different tonal options, plus the compound radius neck rocks
JS 1000 is one of, if not THE nicest guitars i've ever played.. I have to agree, it's up there with the most versatile..

There's your answer right there.......... ?

However, check this out: PRS Custom 24 demo....
