Kahlers are alot easier to set up than a Floyd. At least for basic playing.
Setting them up so they stay in tune when using the bar...ok, more difficult.

Our well went out the day after our stimmy hit (and shortly after tax returns), so all that money is literally in a hole in the backyard.

I should probably sell something to completely cover my new one coming in. What are you looking to buy
The things that I should actually be looking at:I should probably sell something to completely cover my new one coming in. What are you looking to buy
A Suhr-type SSH strat
baritone guitar (preferably a tele)
electric 12 string
non-guitar things:
New recording interface w/4 inputs
New studio monitors
new floor monitors for gigs.
To be honest, the SSH strat doesn't need to be a fancy-pants boutique guitar. I'd love to find a Fender SSH strat that makes me as happy as my 60th Anniversary tele but I can't seem to find it's counterpart.

I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, but Nash makes a killer SSH strat @Mark Wein . They come stock with Lollar blonde single coils and a Lollar Imperial (PAF type) humbucker. There's probably quite a few used ones in your neck of the woods if you dig around.
A friend of mine who really knows his hardware and live/studio sound is really impressed with the Universal Audio stuff. A little to pricey for my budget currently. I don't know enough about them to know if there's a 4-input model. They do come with bundled software and the mic pre sims sound good to my untrained ears.

I can’t recommend the Rev Airwave enough. I probably play electric 12 as much as I play a trad electric anymore for lead lines/countermelodies/embellishments and it’s by far and away the least unruly electric 12 I’ve played. With the P90s and the controls you can get all the typical electric 12 sounds—though the Ric low strings on top courses does make for a slightly different sound.
I was seriously considering the Rev baritone but it didn’t make a ton of sense as a thing I’d be sure to use since I tend to play bass higher up right in the zone where I’d be fighting for frequencies.
The Fulcrum was the one logical thing they did...abandon their inferior design and copy Floyd Rose as best as they could.
The cam/bearing based tremolos they made were like weird voodoo black magic that promised tuning stability but only delivered broken strings and the misery of being 80 cents off on anything you measure at any time. If it was out you could touch it and it would be better, at maybe 20 cents off in the opposite direction.

We have a one in/one out scheme for guitars here at my house and being dinks with a fairly decent financial cushion, I can get a guitar whenever I feel like jacking around with selling and acquiring stuff. I have come to hate guitar shopping so it’s pretty stressful to go down the rabbit hole. I’m pretty happy with most of my gear at the moment. I like the playability but not the tones I’m getting out of my G&L right now. I’m probably gonna get a new pickup soon, but might blow it all up and convert it to an Esquire.

The IRS has a site where you can look up when yours is scheduled. I think ours is scheduled for sometime this week. It’s a big cluster because this stimulus is overlapping with tax season.

Yep.
“Can’t” or “can”? Seems like you are recommending it. Hoping so. I am waiting for one to come, though they are pretty backed up right now so will be a while. Excited for it.
If I could get my hands on a Nash to try I would. I aways say Suhr because thats what I'm familiar with but it doesn't matter what brand if it gets the job done.
I'm most likely going to go UA for my next interface. The seem to sound really good and I think you get access to all of their software plugins, too.
