It will be a while yet but next is an SG. I'm building my bass and stratocaster and once they're done I'm saving for an amp head/cab. Then the SG. There may be some recording gear before the SG, though. All in good time.
Assuming that my fiancee is looking over my shoulder:
"Nothing at all. I have the best woman in the world and I don't even GAS for guitars anymore! She's just so awesome that I might even get her a kitten!"
Assuming that my fiancee is NOT looking over my shoulder:
"Fender MP Telecaster Plus/ Honey-burst, HSS"
or
"Fender AE Telecaster Thin-line/ Mystic Blue/ 4th Gen noiseless humbuckers/ maple neck & board"
or
"Epiphone Lee Malia LP Custom/ '59 C-profile neck/ Walnut finish/ Gibson USA P-94 SC & 84T-LM Humbucker"
EDIT> Was thinking this was a GAS thread, so sadly no... no plans for anything.

I would like to own a second Sunburst Roadworn Jazz Bass - no hesitation, no doubt, no question about it.

I am thinking of getting an Epi Les Paul or SG. I love the sound of Fresh Cream but I do not want to spend $$$ to get it. Over the years I have owned 9 Les Pauls. I never seem to keep them. The last 3 were bought new. I still have my Strat that I bought in '86 and I play it all the time.
A good, screaming Strat just might be the greatest guitar sound of all..... -Slash
I've had two Epi Les Pauls, an Epi SG, and two Gibson Les Pauls. I eventually got rid of the first four and finally found "the one" and can't imagine being happier with any other Les Paul. I think it's easier in some ways to find the right Strat or Tele, at least less expensive than buying and selling Gibbies.

I keep thinking that the search isn't over. I think I might like to try an SG again. I had one for a bit in the late 80's. It sounded and played good enough, but I didn't like that it was neck heavy and that it had a Bigsby that would not stay in tune. I am so used to the way Strats hang that Teles, and SG's feel "different".

An ES-275. Either in natural (the "Custom" style) or cherry (Standard)
I'm thinking of looking into a Fender guitar (Tele or Strat) with a rosewood fingerboard. I really dig maple, but some people just gush over rosewood. I need to play one and see why they like them and I don't.
If you spend a lot of time on a maple neck, you owe it to yourself to see the difference. At this point I have no preference. I like them both for different reasons.
I can play them both now that we are past the simply dreadful '70s glop era. But I still prefer rosewood partly because of that aversion to the flypaper effect those nasty maples had. I've kept the maple neck from my CV 50 (avatar) because it is such a nice neck. Some day I'll either dress and crown it (most likely) or refret it (doubt if it really needs that much work.) I'm keeping an eye out for an inexpensive and light tele body. It's a low priority at this time but if I should happen into one I've got a neck for it. Either that or put the maple back on the CV50 and put the rosewood neck on the lighter body. The CV weighs 8 and a half pounds.
Absolutely nothing! I have all I'll ever need.

12 string
I recently came across a blue burst Ric 360/12.
Have a tentative job offer. If it goes through, I may treat myself.

I look forward to seeing pics if you pick it up.
If I had the cash, I'd get Rickenbacker to make me a lefty of that George Harrison 12-string. But again, apart from a few Beatles tunes and The Byrd's Eight Miles High, I'd have no use for it. I'm fortunate to be able to have the guitars that I do have, so GAS doesn't haunt me like it did in the past.

I have a Guild 12 String but if money was no issue I'd probably check out a Taylor T-5 12 string - they look pretty cool.
