As in, perhaps you have a Tele, Strat and LP. To cover all bases or imagined ones, what is missing from your stable.
Mine is:
* A Ricky or clone
* A 12 String (could be the Ricky)
* A Yellow guitar. Someone posted a picture of a yellow guitar recently. I did not like the headstock but the colour was perfect. Gotta get a 'yellow' one somewhere.
* A Self Built guitar. This might be my opening for a yellow guitar or build something way off the planet. You never know.
* A Gibson L5 clone. I played a beaten up one several years ago and the "rounded" tone was simply amazing. Not all that common so I am searching. And hoping.
* A 'good' medium power head and cabinet. I have been thinking about Orange in recent months. I have had nothing but good experiences with Orange kit, to my eyes the look says that you mean business!! Good a reason as any I suppose. My choice must play clean (as well as gritty) at reasonable volume. I would love an Orange 4 * 12" cabinet but this would be difficult as my music room is not very large. And it is already fairly full.....
So what do you need to complete your collection......

after that probably a Telemaster with 1 P90 - maple board
Then a Tele with wide range humbuckers - rosewood board
then i'm back to gibsons...V, Explorer, RD and a few more LPC's (white and some kind of burst)
probably a tobacco burst Yamaha SG in there somewhere too.
then i'm done.
I find a new cheap collection to start on every eeek!
“Theory is something that is written down after the music has been made so we can explain it to others”– Levi Clay
Something that sounds crisp, thick and tight played at high gain levels.
Something with a whammy bar that'll take major abuse and still come up smiling.
Problem is I'm a 'less is more' sort of bloke so I have no idea if I'd pack all that into one instrument.
P90: Check: SG Jr. (@Rocker a yellow one!)
Single Coils: Check: telecaster
Bass: Check: BassVI
Nice acoustic: Check: Parlour sized 12 string electro acoustic.
I'm done. i hanker after a "real" Gibson jr rather than the copy I have, but overall I'd say I've got it all covered.
Tele/homebuild - yup
Strat type - yup (lush)
LP - yup
Firebird - yup
SG - yup - Gibbo and Yammie variations (one P90s and the other Buckers)
So, I must have:
Semi
Vee
Ricky
PRS, but I'll wait until I re-train as a dentist for that

Electric lap steel
Strat-shaped, H/S/S and Floyd. Or more precisely an Adrian Smith Model Jackson

The above mentioned guitar would give my collection everything bar P90's (which I don't want.......)
H/H - check
S/S/S - Check
H/S/H - check
Just lacking a H/S/S set-up. Then I'll be a happy Mike.
