Most versatile guitar

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 heavier stuff, some very heavy stuff... Then I'm also very much into Christian music, hillsong, chris tomlin etc.. So my point is.. For a guy like me, and I'm sure many others who listen to a variety of stuff... and who play a variety of stuff... Which ONE guitar would fit the most categories? What do you think? Fender with the extra buttons to change your guitar to sound like everything and anything? A good solid les paul? An Ibanez of some sort? Or possible a line6 variax.. Just out of interest, for fun, what do you think? ?

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....
