Sonic pallete? Then probably the same answer as everyone else - Strat, Tele, LP, 335, Something with p90s, and something with a Wang bar.

But what id prefer is 5 Suhr Moderns in different colours. :D

Strat
Korina Tele that thinks it's a well behaved Les Paul Junior.
Duesenberg.
A proper Tele.
Something with humbuckers I could actually get along with.

The best thing about a strat is the neck pickup and the best thing about a tele is the bridge pickup so may I suggest a hardtail strat with a tele bridge/pickup, ash body, rosewood neck? Covers lots of bases and would sound great.
My 4 other choices would be;
1) Casino with P90s.
2) Sheraton with mini hums and a trem.
3) A good, light, Les Paul with proper, bright, no muddiness PAFs.
And 4) Gretsch 6120 with TV Jones because they absolutely do the job they say they will.

Special mention for a Jag, a Ricky 330 and a Teisco ss4-l.

I need 8 guitars. 9 if supa strat-tele doesn't work.
1935 Martin D-45, 1942 Gibson Southern Jumbo,1950 Fender Broadcaster, 1954 Fender Strat, 1958 Gibson Moderne prototype, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
1958 Fender twin, 1965 Vox AC30, 1966 Marshall JTM 45, 1977 Dumble OD Special.
Big black garbage bag full of original Klon Centaurs and TS808s.

Don't need to, one of my favourite books when I was a kid.

And jokes aside, the Warlock did have a big impact on the guitar world in the 80's, so I think that one is justified.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
