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?
