Of my electric guitars, the only one that is safe is my Baja Telecaster. It's a great guitar. My Classic 60s Strat and Epiphone Sheraton may be sold. They don't really excite me right now. I'll give them a chance before selling them though, because I did really like them once. Maybe I can get back there.
Effects-wise I think the Pod HD500X is somewhat responsible for the lack of excitement. Because of that, I'm going to start using other pedals again. Yesterday I brought out my old Ampeg Scrambler clone and tried using it with only guitar and amp, no HD500X. That sounded very exciting! However, I don't know if I can get rid of the HD500X that easily, since it does have a few things I want to have that would be expensive to replace with pedals. Delays and reverb for example.
What I have done already is order a kit for building another pedal. This one is called the Mammoth Electronics Supercell Overdrive. I really like how it sounds in demos. Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow and I'll get to build it

Options are:
Gretsch G5421 Jet Club in firebird red, for 270€: http://www.malaga8.com/gretsch-g5421-electromatic-jet-club-rw-firebird-red-p-18525.html
Ibanez SA260 in natural, 180€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/vendo-ibanez-sa/425312
Ibanez SZ320 natural, 250€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/ibanez-sz-320-natural/436481
Cort M200 with Dimarzio's in wine red, 200€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/cort-m200-dimarzio/439034
Michael Kerry Patriot Limited in natural, for 350€: http://www.guitarristas.info/anuncios/michael-kelly-patriot-limited/441162
Pretty different among them, I know, but all of them have humbuckers and single coils (or dual-coil humbuckers) for the sake of versatility, and all of them look neat Any suggestions for what should I go for? The Michael Kerry is probably the best option for a long term guitar, but then again I would be just as scared to bump it as with my '89 american Strat I have a soft spot for the Ibanez SA-260 as it looks so Mark Knopfler/Santana-ish...

I'd say the Gretsch, 'cause that's one beautiful axe!
I'm working towards getting an Ibanez RC320, just can't decide on the finish.

I was initially thinking the sunburst but now am seriously drawn to the black..
