Best "feeling" electric guitar you've ever played?

Ibanez Axstar (HH model in Ferrari red) I got for my 13th birthday, it was the second electric I ever owned. I used to spend my afternoons after school at Rockin' Robin waiting for my mom to get off work at the hair salon she worked at nearby and fell in love with those Axstars - I'd sit and play through a Rockman they had up on the counter for people to do just that. Great times and that store was magical to me as a kid.

Not sure if it is just nostalgia but I loved that guitar and kick myself to this day for ever selling it.

You brought back some cool memories. My 2nd guitar was also an Axstar. It was white like the one in the background, with a floating bridge. Back in those days, I had put an order on a pink BC Rich Gunslinger but the store never got it and after weeks waiting for it, I saw that white Axstar and came back home with it. I sold it a few years later to finance a brand Charvel Model 4 which I still own to this day.
 
PRS always play amazing with just a loose enough feel. Andersons are up there too.
 
Music Man Majesty - it plays almost too fast
Played one once and really loved it. I am still not sure about the shape but it was very comfy, same for the EBMM Kaizen I tried.

With the Majesty, I was plugged into a basic kat 50w and when I switched on the piezo, two sales dudes came to listen and watch me as they were impressed by the overall sound. I do own two JP6 and both play awesome but they don't have a piezo, one of these days, I will have to get a Petrucci with a piezo. Adds to the sound options you can get out of the guitar.
 
The PRS Artist from 92 I purchased before Christmas is really all I play these days. It’s a great feeling and sounding guitar. I can’t deny it even though it was never my favorite brand
 
My USA Custom shop Jackson 7 string SL2H from around 2009 or so.! Still own it and it's not going anywhere! It's my number one seven string I have ever owned! I never really understood the meaning of "it plays itself" unit I played this!
