I want this bad boy one of these days. Godin nylon string electric. I'm pretty happy with the guitar I have now though.

What guitar do you want? I want a Gibson Les Paul or a Fender Stratocaster.

Definitely one of those hot Eclipse guitars by ESP or LTD, or a really slick Epiphone (but with better pick-ups) or Gibson. I wouldn't mind a really good Jackson guitar, something like a Dinky or Rhandy Rhoads.
But one guitar I am planning to get is the ESP Ltd EC-500
Mahogany body.
Mahogany neck (set-neck, not bolt-on).
Rosewood fretboard.
EMG 81/60 Humbucking pick-ups.
24 frets e 24.75 scale.
Ebony Black with white contours.
And some other nice stuff. It's sheer beauty.

Personally I am saving up for a Edwards Les Paul.
Edwards is basically the same brand as ESP, but for the japanese market. And apparently their LPs play just like Gibsons, and have better sustain, etc.
I was also looking into the ESP eclipse line, but then I saw these beauties...and at 1/2-1/3 of the price, how could you lose? 
I'll probably be getting one soon, I just changed string gauges on a floyd rose...never again!

In Sweden, guitars are far more expensive than in countries like the united states (though I'm guessing you live in Australia). For instance, the guitar I want to buy costs about 1500 USD, but I bet it costs around 1000 USD in the states. Nevertheless, the EC-500 comes with 24 frets, not 22 (as a rhythm and lead guitarists with small hands and fingers, having 24 frets on the same scale, 24.75, as 22 frets, that helps a lot). They also come with EMG 81 and EMG 60 pick-ups, which are one of the best pick-ups there is.

The prices are pretty jacked up in Australia too! The EC-500 is like $1700AUD (~$1550 USD) here at music stores, sometimes more. In most cases for me, if I import a guitar from the states or japan, it will end up being significantly cheaper than what I could get it for here. My last guitar was $400USD including shipping from the states, and the cheapest I could find it for here was around $900USD.
The EC-500 seems like a good guitar, mainly the 24 frets on a 24.75 scale. Is this limited to the LTD guitars? Because I don't think the ESP versions have any with that spec.

I'd love to give fretless guitar a try

I think that blue guitar at the bottom, Betty, is gorgeous. However, If I ever go fretless, I'll probably just de-fret the neck of some guitar myself.
I'd also like a travel guitar for convenience purposes.

I don't understand fretless instruments. I don't see how you could do anything but just randomly solo.
My friend has a mini Martin and it's not any more convenient really. It just makes you feel better than if you brought a full size and feeling awkward carrying it around. The backpacker seems like it be convenient though.

The only Eclipse models that featured 24 frets are the ones in the ESP graphic series, and the LTD models EC-1000 and EC-500. I can't find any regular ESP guitars with 24 frets but I'm sure there are, it would be weird otherwise.
I'm thinking about getting something like an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, but they only have 22 frets, and I'm concerned the pick-ups aren't good. I mean, Alnico Classic pick-ups, what is that? Can they compare with some of the best EMG pick-ups?
The thing is, the EC-500 comes in three colors only, and I don't particularly fancy either, and it's a very heavy guitar... sigh...
