My list is certainly not long but I have more than five. In random order: Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks,, Grace Slick, Alanna Miles, Tina Turner, Linda Ronstadt, Alanis Morissette, Etta James. Can't defend my list with data, just personal preference.

Will some pray that G&L ships out my telecaster. This will make two Christmas' I've waited for it under the tree and a no show.
Wow, that's a long time. What are they telling you?

Merry Christmast Kemperian !

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Now, is that fence there to keep something out, or keep you in?

Nice....but....get that front stripped like Mick Ronson/Billy Duffy as my avatar :). That one is an Epiphone but I now have a Gibbo..
Note to self: Never loan a vintage custom LP to V8.

Would love to have one. She a beauty.

Two great guitarists with Billie Jean.
Just when I think my 50 years of pentatonic scale wizardry might amount to something, guys like this come along and piss me off. I need new fingers.

A good point for sure. Better to say the magic is not in the instrument but in the artist. That is why I never spend $$$$$$ for overpriced signature or tribute instruments.

There are no magic guitars, just magic hands. When the hands are gone, so is the magic.

One of my all time favorite players. Amazing home much he sounds like Phil on this.

V8guitar : I thought of you when I saw this. Sure, it's not purple, but it's V8 and pretty cool.

I really like that. Love the headstock shape, very nice design. Also great inlay. Aesthetics alone would sell that guitar, and I'm sure plays well too.

Wow! Monster good. Be more like those guys.

Redone classic. The solo and guitarist's tone is A+

I saw that picture and my head immediately went here. Your's is definitely classier though.

Definitely good luck! Chasing tone always leads to deep rabbit holes. As soon as you find it, you hit another birthday and your ears change. But it sounds like you've been down there many times before so I'm sure you're on the right track.
For me at least, the main requirement for a good electric is how it sounds and plays unplugged. If that's really good then it's a keeper. Then swapping strings or tweaking the Kemper dials can usually get me to a more than acceptable tone territory. A too bright pickup can sure be annoying. But, sometimes changing the cap value can help tame it a bit, sometimes not. Pickup changes, for lazy me, are the last step, just because they are a pain to change and you can't just go out a test drive a bunch of them before choosing. Happy hunting!

OK, enough of these PRS beauty queens. Here's my workhorse ugly duckling. I picked it up years ago at a thrift store fairly cheap. A high mileage Red label Yamaha FG-180. Great guitar but , shall we say "well loved". When I saw the wear and the "natural" fretboard scalloping I knew it couldn't develop so many scars unless it was used a lot, and that usually implies a great sound. It is a fine sounding acoustic. Also, I do love natural distressing way more than the fake stuff. Can almost smell the tobacco and beer.
