I'm currently in a phase where I'm only listening to my own music or the music of close friends. I never kept journals or photographs, music as journal entires always made the most sense. Super nostalgia engaged. Either that or Billie Holiday - getting way into her again, but I digress, haha.

Literally this. Verbatim. Especially the very first thing.

The Guitar Center here in Boise is usually good so I haven't had the pleasure of the typical "bad Guitar Center" experience, haha. There's a few dudes here that really know their stuff and I just tend to gravitate towards them if I have questions.

If you're looking for more resources on economy picking, especially with extended range guitar, I believe JamPlay is still offering a week free trial - Tosin did an excellent lesson with them. Otherwise, YouTube is an excellent tool. The aforementioned Paul Gilbert and Petrucci videos are...

I recently picked up 7 string and immediately was inspired by the extended range to come up with riffs and different chord voicings - though, it did take a few weeks to get comfortable with. One thing I really like is being able to play 2 octave scales rooted on the low string and not having to...

Yep, my first reaction was SG and Tele even if you hadn't provided a "wish list". Just out of personal preference, I'd lean towards the SG a bit more tone-wise - plus it's a lot more comfortable to me. I've always been a huge fan of SG's - they can do it all and do it effectively.
