New guitar, here I come.
So I have one of these...
...and I just bought one of these, a Harley Benton G212 Vintage cab with (2) Celestion Vintage 30's, to put under it... 
...total for both coming in at less than 400 bucks. I had expected to pay 700 or 800 to a grand for an amp, but the cab from Harley Benton is a loss leader and was really cheap, and I mean insanely cheap. In fact it cost less than the two Celestions would if I bought them separately. So anyway, I had earmarked two grand for a new amp and guitar, and now I've unexpectedly got about $1600 left in the budget for a decent guitar. My Epi Les Paul sounds sweet, but I'm up to a 3.5" wide strap now and my arm still feels like it's going to fall off if I play for more than twenty minutes. My $150 Cort, while very comfortable to play, sounds like caca plugged in. I'm headed to GC tomorrow and probably Monday. Any suggestions? (EDIT: I bought the Micro Terror a few years back, so you might say that technically I still have $1750 left in the budget...lol.)

2. I've been playing a ton of Strats recently. Tele's havent really been on my radar. But they are now.

11. I've used it on a 4x12 in my nephew's garage, and it was plenty loud.
