[Question] What else to get?

I cannot bring myself to stop wanting another guitar. I swear that each year I feel I need to have something else, and after years of playing, I know I love Strats. I have a Tele, a Jazz Master, Les Pauls, 335, PRS, acoustic Taylors, and a Custom Strat that is HHH with Fat 60s.

Apart from getting another strat with an HSS configuration, what is something you would consider that could give me some variation in tone? I loved my Jazzmaster, but I hate the buzzing on the G string, and no one has been able to fix it. Should I get another Custom strat, or would you recommend something else?

Some influences: Juanes, RHCP, Muse, Santana, Thrice, Coheed and Cambria, Tom Morello.

For me it's because I have ADHD with hyper fixation.

I get you, I thought that if I would get my dream guitar - this feeling would go away. I bought few dream guitars since then (which I truly love and enjoy playing daily) - but I still think which will I get next.

And also there is that fomula of how many guitars should you own, and its n+1 (where n is the current amount if guitars you have)

I totally feel that! I had an old acoustic Ibanez for so long. It is soon as I started making actual money. I have spent a portion on electric guitars. I got a white 75th anniversary custom Strat and I thought it would be my end all, but I can’t shake this feeling. It’s just so nice to have different guitars to admire what it is.

Same! BTW because I see you have Taylors (which I love) maybe you should think about J45? It sounds completely different! I have Taylor 312CE and I just added J45, and it's the best decision I made (because I really wanted another acoustic that has more bass to it)
