Hitting 1 year next month need guitar recommendations!

GEAR

currently have, fender player 2 SSS strat.

PRS DGT SE.

some about me and obligatory i know a new guitar is not going to make me a better player and the two guitars i have are quality and i dont "need" a new guitar.

i have played almost 7 days a week 2ish hours a day for almost a year and i love it.

part of the "problem" here is love so many guitars and genres.

big ones, SRV jimmy page, john Mayer, bb king, John Petrucci, bonamassa, Clapton, Gilmore, and recently Steve vai and Joe Satriani.

i have my entire life with everything "sacrificed" colors and cosmetic details to find a deal on something used or open box and always ended up colors or finishes that are fine, but not my preference and for this purchase id like to get something i really want and dont mind buying new or used

i would be open to selling my PRS but my strat is my first and plan on keeping it forever.

price range can be up 2k but could trade/sell my dgt to make up difference.

some choices ive pondered on

fender American 2

prs s2

Ibanez az2204 prestige (one for sale near me for 1700)

charvels but i cant quite vibe with the colors and only a couple of the super strats i really love the way they look

js240ps

open to all suggestions :)

thanks!
