Great GREAT info guys! Appreciate it. Sounds like the Strat or Telecaster may be good fits, and they are definitely on my short list to try out now. I prefer a raw/gritty sound so I'll probably stick with the standard pickups.
Another question- Epiphone is a subsidiary of Gibson, have you guys found that customers have the same quality issues with Epiphone as they do with Gibson? They have some interesting guitars I'd like to try out, but much more affordable. I just stumbled upon the Epiphone BB King Lucille - which is a fukin' beautiful looking piece of work - and it's listed under $700. Are these just cheaper Gibsons, or do they have their own standard of quality?
Anyway, looks like the next step is to just try some of these out and see which one woos me. Strat, Tele, possibly Dot, PRS (if there are any in the price range), and now Lucilleeee.

And then, just when you think you've got the whole blah'd damn thing figured out
And you're surrounded by the ones you blah
Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
