Best Larada
Superior to the Masters Series tbh. Made in Japan. Very light and fast playing. Parts and hardware used identical to the masters, except it's a bolt-on. I'm not sure they still make these so they're becoming increasingly rare.

Punches above its weight
My most affordable yet my most played guitar. I have all my guitars inside cases save for three and this is one of the three, along with a PRS CE and a Shijie strat. I keep this in a rack within grabbing distance of me. Made in Indonesia. I bought this used for $450. I put in Seymour Duncan noiseless P90's and added phase switches for more tonal options.
