My old RGA121. Perfect neck.
 
My Vigier Excalibur Bfoot is the most comfortable guitar I ever played. Eventhough I alwas played 24 fretted guitars with floyds, I recently scored a James Tyler Studio Elite (22 frets, vintage bridge, Single coils... a bonanza of novelty for me) and I can't play anything else these days !!! The Tylers are just in their own league

still waiting for word on when my modified Tyler will be ready to come home🍻
i’m doing the bells and whistles 80’s pickguard and new hardware and single coils, fretboard refurbush/filing, and surprise accoutrements…🤩
 
My H/S GMW is my go-to #1

For myself, the best playing guitar I've tried is probably my Schecter Reaper 6, the neck just feels perfect to me. As a whole it's not perfect, but nothing else so far has the neck it does.
 
For me it's still Marchione. Anything else I've tried a distant 2nd by light years. No worthy honorable mentions

That being I said I like the playability of the aged nitro Mayones Aquila I got recently similarly well to the aged nitro Charvel Custom Shops I had in the past and it has a more modern vibe that I think is cool

Like a guitar that just felt effortless to play, everything about it was just on point, etc...

I've had a couple of shredder thin necks, Fender modern C, and Gibson necks from Norlin to '60s slim to '50s fat. There was something really special about the neck on my '71 Norlin LP Standard. After that it was the '60s slim taper on my Firebird T that was just right for me. Effortless is the first thing that comes to mind.
 
Carvin AE - 185.
Neck through, acoustic style compensated bridge.

So smooth and easy, plays like butter. 24 fret. Also can be any type of guitar you need,with a flip of a switch or 2. Also a semi hollow, with 2 outputs. One for electric, one for acoustic. Very versatile and easy to play. Light....like 5 - 6 lbs.

Hated it in the 90s, but love it more every day now. From quack strat tones, all the way to metal...and decent acoustic tones. The one guitar I could get along with forever.
 
I'd say my Tom Andersons and Tylers are my best feeling guitars
 
Was a Music Man guy for many years, owned several of all their models but these days I'd have to say Luxxtone is the best for what I need.

replaced an ibanez RG neck with a carvin ebony pointy headstock. amazing neck!
 
Well its definitely not 99% of what I find in guitar shops...lol

Probably my 98 Strat and my Epiphone SG. I cant play Les Pauls or Telecasters, and having played Ibanez and Jackson for a while, I just find the Floyd to be not what I want. I agree with some of the others, you put a floyd on something and it just doesnt do it...its like Guiness Alcohol Free, its actually a beta move I think....

PRS is nice actually, ive never played a bad one to be fair.
 
A few that fit like a glove:
- Caparison Horus FX-AM. I have 5, but one just feels different and always feels great and I play better on it
- PRS Custom 24 30th Anniversary. Plays and feels and sounds amazing, kinda my #1 at the moment
- Ibanez PGM-301. Have owned it about 20 years now I guess. It just feels like a glove.
- Tom Anderson Cobra S.
 
I can’t comment on this one, as I either haven’t really encountered a really bad playing guitar or I just adapt easily to most of them 🤔
 
I've owned tons of guitars, Fender, Gibson, Charel, Chubtone, Ibanez, etc, etc. Believe it or not, the most "perfect" feel, tone, etc guitar I've ever played was an Ltd EC that I got brand new for under $500. I never should have sold it. I couldn't find a flaw.
