I have a Simon & Patrick Woodland Folk Cedar with soundhole pick-up, an Ibanez PF 105S NT, a Yamaha G-225 (mid 70's), and a Washburn electric.

I'm pretty happy with my options right now, but in the future if I might want a nice Takamine, or maybe a Guild. Dunno though... I'll see. An old strat would be nice too. And I'll admit, I've always wanted to see what a 7-string is like. It'd be kind of cool to have that extra bass string... so I could have it tuned CEADGBE or something like that. But hose are expensive, and it'd probably cost more to fix and stuff being that it's kind of a 'specialty' guitar. You'd need special pieces and all.

edit: Plus, I've got bass hands anyways... so being able to wrap the thumb around for the bass notes on the C, or B or whatever it's tuned to would make for some pretty sweet sounds. Finger picking, or even just playing away on the regular 6 strings and thrwoing the occasional thumb to the bass for a cool walking bassline with whatever riff or chords you're playing.
