Deck chairs being moved around a bit. Currently, I have a Guild Polara (reissue) and a telemaster in the making, so that's HH and single coils covered. I have a Denelctro U1, which is ok, but might move it on.
Wouldn't mind something covering a different area sonically. So options here would be semi hollow/hollow body.
I am thinking Gretsch because filtertron pickups might offer something different to what I have. Other option is an Epi Casino. Had one before and liked it. I might stay away from anything hollow/semi hollow with HH.
They seem to be hard to come by with P90s, though I could always install H sized P90s in e.g. a Joe Pass....
Those floating bridges, I am not a fan of though....
Leave aside baritones for now. Different beast altogether. I've also had Jazzmasters, and just when I think I'd like to revisit, I decide against them...

They are guitars that you'll either love or not, so definitely ones to try before you buy.
I concur that Gretsch floating bridges aren't as difficult as one might imagine. And Rickies could very well fit into an anti hero stoner vibe - although he isn't that, Guy from Fugazi could make a 330 work really well in a non-traditional Rickenbacker role.
If you can find one, an Epiphone Nick Valensi sounds like it might be of interest to you.
Edit: and as society and stores start opening up, it looks like you are set to have a pretty fun time finding out what you might like.
A Ric, but I'd have to get my hands on one....
Other option is an SG with P90s (or a Gordon Smith version)

A 125 is one of two 'that got away'. It was in Australia and was maybe 1200 AU Dollars (which is dirt cheap). By God it sounded good. I still kick myself occasionally...
