Have you fulfilled your guitar collection fantasies?
Most of them, at one time or another - still looking for a nice all-acoustic/non-cutaway 18" archtop (Gibson Super 400/300, Epiphone Emperor/Super Deluxe, D'Angelico/Stromberg, etc.), a clean/well-maintained '60s Gibson EB-3, and a Guild F-612...

I only have two acoustic guitars. Sixty percent of the time I think I have all that I will ever want or need. The other forty percent of the time I think about selling the electric guitars I no longer play, (and keep around just in case), and buying a used Collings D2H Adirondack Traditional or perhaps a Collings D1A Traditional.

I have 6 nice electric guitars and 3 nice acoustic guitars. Twenty-some years ago, that would be my guitar collection fantasy. I don't have or ever had a Les Paul Standard, which is something that I always would have liked to have. Now that I can afford one, it really wouldn't add much to what I already have so I will do without it.
So, within reason, my fantasies are fulfilled.

For where I play, and quite frankly, my skill level, my new Martin 000-18 is more guitar than I could ever need, or dream about owning.
Every day that I take it out of the case, or just sit and stare at it, I count my blessings for being lucky enough to own it and to appreciate what a wonder it is.

I have enough, perhaps too many & don't plan more acquisitions anytime soon. Doesn't mean I don't have anymore itches to scratch though.
Occasionally think my collection would look more complete with a sunburst in there, maybe a J45, an SJ200 or a Guild 12 string.....or maybe all 3 lol.... stop it.  . My electrics (strat & thinline tele) are both sunburst, that'll do for now.

Have you fulfilled your guitar collection fantasies?
Probably getting close; very happy where I am now. Would be interested in an X braced Taylor 552ce 12 fret 12 string for a decent price, but not actively searching. My 'lottery' guitar would be a PRS Custom Tony McManus signature guitar. Some other items would catch my eye if I spotted them, like a new Taylor short scale Grand Symphony (the new one with the sound hole) , but I haven't played one yet. All in all, pretty content, maybe a couple too many. Don .

I have better guitars than my ability will ever be able to catch up to. That being said I probably won’t ever have my fantasy collection. I’m all right with that. I have a better collection than I ever thought i would.

I'm happy with what I have, but I'd love to add a Martin OM-42 to my collection someday.

I have a lot of guitars, probably too many since I only play a few on rotation.
I’d really like a Sobell and/or a Taran though...

I'm way passed my younger fantasies and am in fact trying to sell at least three guirars. OTOH, the Taylor AD27 has caught my eye...
