Of the electrics, I got to lay my hands on Mike Potvin's Ranchero Grande Thinline - I've always had a thing for Thinline Telecaster-style guitars - and Kauer Guitars' Daylighter, both of which played amazingly for this non-guitarist. <a href="http://www.avfx.com.au/" >Audio visual hire</a>

Phil Collen's first signature Jackson, the Rickenbacker 481, the Washburn A-20, BC Rich Mockingbird, lots of great designs out there for inspiration besides the aforementioned Fenders. Gibsons and PRS overabundance. And beating them up and/or swapping a few parts around doesn't sufficiently add interest either IMHO.
