Lol - all of them! Sexauer, Beneteau, Hatcher, Gervais, Olson, Kinnard (both of them!), Doerr to name just a few that pop into my head. Pretty much anything lauded that I have never played in person.
But if I had to pick one it would be Edwinson guitars. Like the Hatchers, the guitars coming out of his shop are works of art. SprintBob has an Edwinson Zephyr that I drool over every time I run into a photo.

For me, it would be Applegate and Heinonen. I love my Charis GC and would like to try other guitars built in the James Olson vein. I think there is something special about these guitars and they are still attainable.

You will find that the vast majority of luthiers are really nice guys (gals, too); it seems to be a profession that attracts this sort of person. If you don't enjoy people and interacting with them, you won't remain a luthier for long.
As far as ones that have attracted my attention, there are many who build to the same quality and standards as those I have already. I enjoy having one from each luthier who has attracted my attention. And well as one of each wood that has done the same. I can't have them all, though it would be fun to be filthy rich and try. Some have names bandied about here and others fly under our radar. Not all exhibit at the shows either. If you can sell all you can make, and at prices that satisfy you, why go to the trouble and expense of exhibiting at a show? ("People" would be the answer for these folks.)

Dake Traphagen. Ever since I heard David Grier play a Trap dreadnought, I’ve been fascinated. “Woodiest” sounding dred I’ve ever heard. Doubt I’ll ever get my hands on one though.

FRAULINI! Yup, I'd love to experience one like Mary Flowers has. I don't see that happening though.

For me, it's definitely all of the builders who work in the style of more left-field early 1900s American builders - I'm talking about Fraulini, ARK New Era, J. Brentrup, Montuoro, Hauver, and those folks. I'd also really love to play an original Larson build.
Were it not for the three year waitlist, I probably would have ordered a New Era by now.

Having been to quite a number of guitar festivals over the years, I have been fortunate to play examples of many fine luthiers’ guitars. But, since 2013, I haven’t been to any such gatherings. So, for me, it would be EJ Henderson and Rebecca Urlacher. I would love to chat with each of them about their build philosophy and play their guitars.
Best, Jayne

Too many to list, but off the top of my head, I’ve heard so much about Franklin guitars.
