Whats a guitar outside of your normal flavor that you'd love to have?

Kalamazoo KG22
right around 1932, Kalamazoo guitars had V necks. Kalamazoo later became a company you may have heard of.

Jimmy D'Aquisto DQ
If you haven't played a D'Aquisto, you haven't played guitar yet....the action on these guitars is made in heaven.

#1 Sleeper is the Harmony Monterey. Check the tiger stripes.

The Monterey is a super sweet sounding archtop for very little cash. It is mostly unknown / underrated.
If you are looking first time to enter the realm of archtop guitars, that's the one.

Yup, Gball, but you already know my heart pumps Lifeson Semi's and Howe 175 Hollows through my veins.

Sysco, you WANT that Collings? Or own it?

Chili, I once found a '83 ES-335 at Bill's that I wanted desperately. It was just amazing (I think, if memory serves, this was around 1992 so the guitar wasn't all that old at the time). I actually put money down on it and was going to pay it off later and they sold it out from under me. It was the one time in my life I came real close to getting one and I honestly don't know why because I would still really love to have one.
 
Guitars don't really get to me. I see cool ones, but I don't have any real desire to go out and buy one.

Now, on the other hand, performances are what gets me excited..

When someone calls us and offers $2,500 for a 6 hour show, I'm ready to roll. While it is true that the restrictions have limited the venues to some extent, it has also increased the money that venues are offering for a live band, not to mention private estate parties, so in that regard, business is good.

I love performing and being able to pay the bills is of prime importance to me. If I wasn't playing, I wouldn't be eating...so the guitar is really just a necessary tool.

Interesting how many people have chosen hollows/semi-hollows/jazzboxes.

I think it might be because of the "opposites attract" concept for some. Myself, thats outside of what i normal play although i DO have a 335 clone. But like a Byrdland, its not a semihollow body, rather a full hollowbody and thats radically different from anything I play. But like I mentioned earlier, if you are a rock guy, you can harness its feedback into a massive sound or use it in the clean style its intended for
