Probably my two nicer guitars. They aren't especially fancy models, but they were pretty big purchases for me when I got them and have brought me heaps of joy since. Since the experience of playing a musical instrument tends to revolve so heavily around how tiny little details feel, like the strings of a guitar being a little higher or lower above the fretboard or the neck being a little more or less flexible, taking the time and money to find the ones that felt right to me made a big difference (and then adjusting the setup of them further to suit me more)

The two nice ones are an Epiphone Swingster and a PRS SE 24 7-string. The PRS is just fun. It's very versatile in sound, quite happy to do genres other than the metal that 7-strings are normally associated with but absolutely capable of getting angry when I want it to. The extra range of both the seventh string at the low end and the full 24 frets (the most that you'll see on a guitar without getting something very unusual) gives me loads of options to play things how I want. The Epiphone is a little bit beaten up after a fair bit of stage usage, but it still sounds so smooth and I absolutely love how it feels like it's coming alive when played loud. It's hollow like an acoustic guitar is, so when the amp is loud enough it resonates with its own output from the amp far more easily than normal electric guitars. This is how you end up with the feedback whine sound associated with classic rock acts leaving their instruments on stage at the end of a set, but when you're holding the instrument and controlling the feedback you can feel the entire thing vibrating and every sound you make with it can last for ages if you want it to

Edit: I feel like should add my dad's version of this. He has been playing guitar since he was a child and is a big fan of classic rock, so he had a couple of guitars around the house and would sometimes play along whe he was singing songs for me and my siblings as kids. The only electric ome he had was one he bought whe he was a teenager, and while it was functional it was definitely more valuable sentimentally than for quality, and being a busy working dad he just wasn't playing guitar enough to justify spending a lot of money on a new one. He started playing a bit more when I began to learn, we'd sit dow and jam when I was around, but still didn't replace the electric.

One day he was rushed to hospital after a heart attack - a relatively minor one, and thankfully one he recovered from fully, but a heart attack nonetheless. This turned out to be enough for a small payout from his life insurance; money he didn't need by thatpoint in his life aftsr decades of a fairly successful career, an not enough to really do anything big with. So, since he had some unexpected momey and was quite justifiably feeling a bit sorry for himself, he went out to get his dream guitar he had wanted since he was a teenager listening to Dire Straits records trying to figure out how to play them, a Fender Stratocaster

It's not to my personal tastes as an instrument but I can't argue with the quality of the thing, it is really nice
