An effects pedal would give you some new sounds - but he has a Spider amp - don't they have amp modelling and onboard effects?
What about a Telecaster if you don't want to join the "Strat Pack".
With the Ibanez, you can always get a SSH configuration so you can play rock and punk on the bridge pickup, and flick to the single coils for the blues.
But like I said, you need to think about what you like and also go try a load of guitars. No point spending $600 on a guitar that people reccoment unless you actually play it yourself and compare it to a few others.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
