He MAY take you to lunch if you order one.
I keep thinking "do I want one or two GREAT guitars or just a few models that do different things?" That's always been the conflict since I have to have at least one dedicated synth guitar and preferably a backup and then a great "electric rock guitar" and a backup and something that is a more "all rounder". Thinking.
There is a local store that actually has a small lefty section which is kind of a rarity anywhere from what I can see.

Yeah, I ask myself that a lot. I always wonder... could there be a guitar that has everything I want? It's probably foolish to think so, but somehow I keep wondering. Then I get to the point where I'm like...why do I need that many options (like piezo, sustainer, great single coil vintage sound, great humbucker sound, spanky, twangy, but also smooth....lol). I apparently want it all...
Sometimes down my path of finding said guitar, I end up getting on the kick for some "crazy" guitars, like Kleins or Cantons...then I look at the price and I'm like I should just build some. Hell for the price of those guitars I could build like 8 prototypes. You'd think by the 8th one I'd make something pretty spectacular.
It's a struggle. I need to find a place I can try a bunch of lefty guitars from lots of manufacturers. I'd be curious if I'd become more certain of my preferences or more confused.

There's also the thing I've seen: iconic guitar players who basically played one guitar throughout their career maximized their talent by adapting to the idiosynchracies of one instrument.
My thought is by buying a dozen different guitars there's a little re-adjustment period for each guitar. So is sticking with one or two similar guitars a better idea because the adaptation period is less objectionable or is the fact that a Les Paul and a Strat are two different shaped items and would require that and might make you more versatile a player by having to adapt?
Some of my fixation on strat-esque shapes is that I'm used to the shapes how they hang on my body ergonomically. I would not object to something different and have owned different guitars for different purposes but look at a guy like Rory Gallagher. He nearly wore that guitar out.

just play another guitar every hour. actually, I enjoy getting a new guitar and adjusting to the quirks. it almost always facilitates a development in my technique for the better that I can transfer across instruments

I was thinking....maybe I should put some himbuckers in my G&L legacy. I've heard landau get some pretty damn convincing single coil tones out of split humbuckers....hmmm
Can't remember if it has room for humbuckers or if I have to rout it out? Hmm.

It probably has a bathtub route. PRS hum buckers sound fantastic split
