Number 17 I added two weeks ago. Used Peavey JF2 EX (gold sparkle top/semi-hollow, 2 mini humbuckers, 2 volume & tone controls, 3-way switching and Bigsby vibrato) that I'd tried out when it was new. The previous owner decided he wanted something different, as well as more expensive, and had traded the Peavey and an acoustic.
As soon as I've got enough OT money saved to buy a matching dryer to the front loading washer I bought, last week, I'll start saving money toward guitar #18, which will be a 12-string electric. In the running for #18 are
the Fender Stratocaster XII, and Rickenbacker 360/12. After that, I'll go for a lap steel guitar, which will put me to 19, then I'll buy one more Fender Stratocaster, and I'll pretty much be done with my collection at 19 guitars, unless I get a wild hair enough to go for another Gibson Les Paul. I still want
a Fender Jaguar Bass (Hot Rod Red w/color matched headstock), which would put me to 22 guitars, seeing as how it's highly likely that I will eventually buy another Gibson Les Paul (with 'buckers, since I already have one with P90s).
When I do buy another Fender Stratocaster, I will be looking to heavily modify it toward creating my own unique surf instrumental sound. I'll delete the middle and neck pickups, along with one tone control and the 5-way switch, and replace the bridge pickup with a P90 pickup. My dad owns a router, so fitting a P90 in place of a single coil or humbucker (depending if I start with an SSS or HSS Strat) will be no problem. The reason I'm looking to do something like this is, that I know of, there are no electric guitars out there having just a bridge pickup and tremolo/vibrato.
