Not much. Even though I have a weakness for purple guitars, I don't like at all this paint over the natural wood. Knobs are barbiegirl. Zebra pups with purple over cream??? The tremolo is orthopedic. And it has the headstock mounted in a wrong position

Nah, he had another one that was pretty much identical to the body/color w/ a LoPro.
Edit- Ah, not as identical as I thought—

Everything is cool except the knobs, pickup colors and 12 fret marker.

...and trussrod cover, and offset dots being on the bottom of the fretboard...
Aside from all that stuff, I'm all in!

I'd pay a pretty penny just for the pickups, honestly.

Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Jr DC
I want a DC of some kind. Never had one. Preferably a Jr. in TV Yeller for the win!

If I were to buy a new guitar soon, more than likely it'll be one of these:
I've always loved this config and shape but never tried as a baritone, which is a sound I don't currently have.
A Dano would be cool. Same with a Bari. Both in one is a double win!
I love guitars with character.

I picked up a DC Jr. a while ago because I wanted a guitar that could nail the Mississippi Queen tone.I want a DC of some kind. Never had one. Preferably a Jr. in TV Yeller for the win!
It's a great guitar but the stock P-90s hum was problematic for me so I replaced it with a Frailin Noiseless P-90. While it doesn't sound exactly like a stock P-90, particularly at lower volume edge of breakup tones, it's very close and it still sounds great when used that way. It absolutely nails the Mississippi Queen tone which was the point of the whole exercise.
Not TV Yellow but I really like the way it looks.
I also added a Wilkinson TP-3691-010 stop tailpiece which only has two moving parts giving the vast majority of the benefits of a stop tailpiece but still allows for intonation adjustments.
It's a killer guitar and absolutely slays when played through a full stack at volume.
This is the tone I wanted...

Hehe, my list is 90%+ Mayones, wanted one for years but never pulled the triggerMan, why do you like Plain Jane guitars so much??
There's a dealer in Atlanta, usually has 5 or 10. I've not held one either but all I've heard says "best lp/335/etc" ever!I've been intrigued by Collings for years. Never actually laid hands on one.

I pretty much feel blessed with what I have. I am super lucky. Been very fortunate
over the years.
I am not missing anything glaring that plagues me. Even have an hard time generating
a lot of want. It is fun imagining and dreaming, though.
There are guitars I would like to play. As far as own. Not sure. Maybe a Resonator of
some kind. A nice Martin.
Oh, maybe a Kauer Banshee of some kind. Yeah, that's the ticket!

I’m definitely getting close to this point. Played an Epiphone Firebird last week that I was enjoying more than expected. But also knew if I actually owned it…I’d just be picking up my tele every time and rarely using it.
There are a lot of guitars I’d love to rent for a long weekend, but not a whole lot I think I’d really want to pony up for either in terms of money or storage space.

Yeah, unfortunatrly I don’t think the rental fleet anywhere would include a Collings JL 470, or a ‘58 Gibson ES-175…Renting is a great idea!
The town I grew up in used to rent out PA and Recording Gear. Renting Tascam Portastudios
and Fostex 4 tracks in the 80s for a weekend was what got me stoked about recording and writing.
