Like the title says, what project guitar do you want to build? I have wanted to do a Jem for a long time, but I just read Brian May's Red Special book, so now I have eyes for that.
But because I am weird, I want to do the version with the Kahler that Guild made back in the 80s.
What is your next or dream build?

Another V at some point....I've got eight vees and one SG which I'm still working on, but ...I have a bit of GAS still to build a V with best possible materials. That would mean Precision Guitars kits, but those are quite expensive, and with added tax and shipping from Canada that self made guitar would cost clearly more than any of my current ones. But still, I do have that dream.

I do not have any desire to build another guitar. I have put together many over the years. It was always bolt on Fender style guitars or actual Fender guitars out together from gathered parts. When we had the farm I could do woodwork projects, painting, etc. Now I am not set up for that in our new home. The only way I would build again is if I too suddenly had an Elon Musk size bank account. I would buy Gibson and then I would be a builder of fine guitars.

My next build (because it's been sitting in my basement for 2 years) is a dismantled Peavey Vortex 2 that I got for $150.

Mine needs a minor body repair and paint, but is otherwise a kit waiting to be assembled. I am thinking about a black sparkle finish.

Im sort of all built up right now, what with my recent Nashville tuning strat, my Sitar strat, and my H/p90/H strat.
I think I'm leaning more towards an unnecessary pickup buying spree.

An amp. I don't know what kind but I think that I would enjoy doing it with somebody who knew what they were doing. I coulld hold tools, measure things, get coffee, etc.

Traditional Jaguar with a transparent finish. It's fit-assembled and playable (and fun), but not finished yet. I'm a little afraid of screwing up the finish, so I've spent time experimenting on less important things.
