Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Then one day I suddenly realised that the Les Paul is the perfect solid guitar. A design that was right first time (I like to think that the '52 neck angle was a production error). In fact a design classic. Which is why you must all stop what you are doing right now, and put the pick guard on your Les Paul.

Anything with a fairly slim neck and a radius of 9.5 inch or more is fine. Generally, I like slightly wider necks, as they are a bit easier to switch from a picked riff to a tapped line and back again.
I've tried, but I can't got on with Gibson, and Gibson-based guitars. Also I don't like Tele's, so it's Strats and SuperStrats for me. Preferably with a Floyd.
The body shape of Strat-based guitars fits me perfectly, and have my arms in the right place, whereas the other designs mentioned don't. IE when playing a LP my right arm feels like it's too far forward.
