Your “list”

[Oldsmobum]

We all have them, sometimes it’s places you want to see, cars you want to own, or in this case... Guitars you want to own.

I will put a loose restraint on this list- it has to be a guitar that you can feasibly acquire. There might be someone here who can afford Jimi’s Monterrey strat, but that’s not the point of this exercise.

I have too many as it is, (I often snap up cheap ones to tinker with) and that’s partially what’s stopping me from getting more. I could probably afford any one of them, but certainly not all.

- Thinline Telecaster, but with more traditional telecaster control plate (similar to a recent build here) and with a bigsby.

- Gibson les Paul (most likely a jr.) with P90s
- Eastwood Thunderbird (I’ll never be able to afford a real non-reverse firebird)
- (New MIA by Heritage) Harmony Silhouette
- Loar arch top with no cutaway, single neck pickup
- Dearmond X155
- MIJ fender thinline Jaguar
- Something with real Teisco gold foils
- Teisco May Queen
- Teisco Spectrum 5 (probably a reissue)
- Kay Speed Demon
- Vintage Danelectro or honest reissue
- a double neck 6/12 (uglier the better)

There might be more. Fortunately I have a few I like a lot and there are enough competing that it’s not “easy” to pick one to buy. I am going to sell off a few to acquire at least one of these soon however.

what about yours?

[Chester P Squier]

Fender SuperChamp X2, in tweed
G & L Tribute ASAT Classic, Butterscotch Blond
Tweed Case for the ASAT

Those are sort of in my price range.

I saw a guy playing a G & L ASAT in a church service I was livestreaming in early December. I fell in love with the instrument and its sound. It was likely one of the more expensive versions of the ASAT, but it was butterscotch blond.

I would really like the Martin HD-28e electric-acoustic, but that's a little out of my range.

-Grosh, Suhr, Melancon, or Ibanez Prestige HSS
-70s Gibson ES-150

I don’t want a bunch of stuff, but a big hollow body sound and a high quality versatile HSS style guitar can just about cover it for me for what I do. Til my tastes change and I inevitably want something else.

I hold out hope that I'll find "grandpa's old guitar" at a garage sale, and when I open the case it will be an original Gibson Moderne that somehow escaped the saw in Kalamazoo.

We can all dream

Not being as affluent as the other forum members that can "feasibly acquire" a bunch of vintage axes (enjoy them in good health!), my list off the top of my head would be:

• some kind of Maccaferri clone
• some kind of headless -- the simpler the better: no multi-scale or fancy trem. I'm still holding out for when more/cheaper Strandberg clones hit the market
  
• P bass partscaster
• baritone Esquire partscaster with B16 Bigsby

Gallagher G50
Selmer Maccaferri petite bouche clone. Not asian.
The Maccaferri plastic guitar I used to see for 100$ now are 1000$ +.Thats a butt kicker there...

 

[Dereksys38]

I just wish someone magically build my guitar ideas for me!

 

[Middleman]

Just a Chet Atkins Gretsch. I have all the others I've wanted.

 

[Obsessed]

Gibson L-1 and I would be done.
No way could I justify owning one,
but no fault in dreaming some.

 

[Dismalhead]

Gibson ES-339
Gibson TV Yellow LP Special

That's about it. I'm pretty happy with my current stable; got all my Fender bases covered. The LP Special I've been wanting since I saw G.E. Smith play one on SNL probably 30 or so years ago. ES-339 is just that I like my Epiphone ES-339 so much, I'd like to get a Gibson one too - maybe with a figured top.

[Cali Dude]

I would love to have a Gibson J-45. I am really moving toward short scale guitars, as they are easier on my arthritic fingers.

 

[WingedWords]

D'you know, I really think I'm sorted. Apart from unaffordable vintage exotica, the only thing I might realistically want is a mid 70s sunburst Precision.

25+ years ago when I was thinking of taking up bass, a work colleague who was also a busy gigging bassplayer, lent me his 1978 P Bass to try over the weekend. He was planning to sell it for around £300 a few months later, but I couldn't wait and bought a new one. I've been kicking myself ever since. It had real mojo. Mind you, the 96 PBass I bought has got a bit of history by now as well and I wouldn't be without it.
