My JP's, they all offer something different and they each feel very unique despite being from the same line and similar in appearance.

JP6 PDN Honey Roasted
JPX7 BFR Barolo
JP6 White Pearl w/Rosewood Neck
JP7 BFR Solar Burst w/Rosewood Neck

I'd probably only replace the JPX7's neck with a Roasted Maple neck instead, otherwise I'm totally happy with the setup!

People are naming a lot of tradional stuff (gibson, fender, gretsch etc) which I'm very surprised and pleased to see.

Yeah, when I first seen this thread I thought I would see a bunch of boutique guitars, and even brands I have never even heard of. I am kind of surprised by the amount of "work horse" guitars listed.

ALL bolt ons, with maple necks and hardtails.

25.5" alder/ash body with a pair of filtertrons, firebird pups, or mini buckers, or the like for approximating classic blues/rock/jazz tones without needing tons of switches for coil tapping or whatever. Maybe a fender cabronita.

24.75ish" mahogany body with heavy buckers for everything from D standard to Drop Bb. Maximum 6 string metal meat. I dunno what guitar fills the bill for this yet.

25.5" basswood HSH guitar with lots and lots of switches and knobs. Something neutral and versatile. Generic super fusion guitar, like the suhr guthrie govan signature. This one would be worth breaking my hardtail rule for covers and such.

27" and up 7 or 8 string. Just too much fun not to have something like this, even if i never play it out of my bedroom. M80M would be awesome.

Something like this, maybe an EX shape though. I love the overall look and viking theme.

Breedlove CM classic, best sounding acoustic guitars ever made.

Gibson Les Paul Custom with a Koa top. Because I think this might be the single sexiest guitar ever made.
