I tell you what lord, I've got a strat that I love, the next guitar I get would either be something like a tele, or, if I am feeling rich, a hollowbody like a Gibson es-175 (I say like, I'd be more likely to get something I don't have to sell my car for). However, the amount that oyu go on about that SBG, I seriously want to try one! By the way, I hear that the Yamaha "version" of the es-175 is pretty killer too... and not prohibitively expensive.
