Yes... well I was being sarcastic because I don't feel too strongly one way or another. I'd want an instrument from someone I really respect, like from one of the members from Yes for example.

I'd like a mellotron or a moog or some kind of synth with lots of settings.  I already have a couple guitars.  I might like a bass or a trumpet too.

A Model D minimoog would be my choice, for the simple reason that it sounds fantastic. Just love that fat Moog sound.

Until I win the lottery, I'll just have to make do with the Arturia minimoog V:

http://www.arturia.com/en/minimoog/minimoogv.php

which sounds pretty good, too (and it's polyphonic, unlike the real thing).

Check out the demos:

[QUOTE=Flying Dutchman]

Mellotrons, particularly the Choir one from
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, and the Sting-type one from Court of the
Crimson King.


Also, Banks's Hammond organs sound delicious.  I like Emo's clicky
organs as well.


And I would kill to have a guitar sound like Steves Howe or Hackett.

Mellotrons typically had about 3 different sounds stored in them, like
strings, cello & flute, so you wouldn't need 2 different ones.

Trey Gunns Warr Guitar, it looks better than a Chapman Stick so thats the only reason I would have it over Tony Levins Stick.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

oh or Neil Peart's gold plated drum set, that he used last tour.  That thing is freaking awesome.

Steve Howe's accoustic guitar - what that man can get out of that guitar is truly brilliant. The same would go for Jimmy Page's Gibson ... ah well dreams are for free
