I got a couple of ideas for you.
The first is get a lot of different second hand guitars with good resale prices that you can buy, play for a couple of months and move on from. I found a TexMex California strat this way (paid 400 USD for it) which is a real bruit to play but sounds incredible. Im doing plenty of recording at the moment and find that Im using it more than the PRS CE24 I paid considerably more for !!!!
Secondly, I laughed my socks off reading your thread about finger calluses......It reminded me of me totally !!!!! Have you ever tried playing the bass guitar ? If you want big fat calluses that will with stand nuclear strikes and never go away basses are the way to go !!!!!
Oh yes, StewMac do a cool vid. about how to wire a Strat guitar ($10 I think.). It is fairly cool (though if you already know your way around, you will probably want more depth.
