| Again, at the risk of angering any equestrians... Being a general purpose studio, I would recommend investing in a wide range of MI (musical instruments). The guitar and drum gear are great, but I would consider adding at least a nice baby-grand piano, and also Hammond B3, synths, percussion, efx pedals, rhodes, wurlitzer, etc.
This is the producer-side of me talking, but I believe that musical instruments create a broader sound palette then mics, pres, compressors, etc. Don't get me wrong, great recording gear is essential to making high quality recordings. However, more importantly, I believe that records are about the music more then the recording. Great music comes from great musicians creating art in a great space. A broad range of MI puts the tools in the artists hands.
But this is just my personal preference, and this is a very subjective matter.
Good luck...
