Your “list”

[Matthias]

I’d quite like:

A 70s P Bass
An early 70s SG
A 335
A 70s Tele Custom
A mid 60s Mustang
An HSS Strat of some sort
An LP Special with P90s

At some point, maybe... Not all or all at once. Pretty happy with what I’ve got.

[Texsunburst59]

With 55+/- guitars/basses in my home studio, I'm pretty covered with about any style guitar I could want.

Of course I don't have a Gibson _____, Fender _____, Rickenbacker _____, Gretsch_____, Etc...................,but I haven't pursued these other guitars because I don't need them.

Don't bet me wrong, if I run into a CRAZY deal on a guitar I don't already have in my collection, I'd pick it up without hesitation.

Gibson Firebird I

 

[Sparky2]

Mine is a very short list.

And I just checked one off that list yesterday.
(The Yamaha Revstar 502T)

The others?
Simple;

 

[Festofish]

“(New MIA by Heritage) Harmony Silhouette“

Fellow Michiganders thank you!
Heritage axes are beautiful! Made in Kzoo!

 

[wulfenganck]

I had started a lengthy list of beautiful instruments, but then I realised that each of them has a minor irk for me and I would be constantly bitching about something.....
I think my dream right now would be to have a guitar custom made for me:
- set neck with the shape and dimensions of my Ibanez Artcore AF75,
- 22 frets,
- archtop hollowbody, but slighty thinner than the Artcore,
- floating bridge,
- arched back (the years have left me.....rounder....),
- florentine cutaway,
- P90 in neck and Humbucker with single-coil-split in bridge position,
- one volume-control close to bridge, one tone-control, 3-way-toggleswitch and switch for single-coil-tap,
- either red or blue, probably blue right now.
Hmm, have to check my savings.....

I've been doing this for a while, I have what I think of as the bucket list and I'm gradually ticking things off.

Left on the list are a small body, A braced Gibson Nick Lucas acoustic, an early 60s ES345 and an early 60s Epiphone Sheraton. On the original list was a set of the four original 335 family guitars (still missing the 345), a Gibson Crest, a Byrdland, a yellow Gretsch Rally, Gibson L-1 and L-00, a Rickrnbacker 381 and a Guild 12 string - all those are ticked.

Once those are done I have a bunch of B list ones but those are the big ones.



If it's one guitar, make it happen! A little aside over a few years and it might be easier than you think.

L-1s user to be quite affordable - I went through several in the early 2000s and settled on a 1926 one that cost under $1k. They've gone up a lot but they're still relatively affordable for a Pre-war acoustic by such a big brand sand they're awesome guitars.

I like your way of thinking and I know you are correct. It took me two years just to find the reso of my dreams, so why not? Thanks.

I've long wanted a 335-style guitar but have yet to buy one.

I get tempted by Les Pauls every so often, but each time I tried one I put it back.

I thought my Hamer Artist "semi-solid" would fix both the LP and 335 itch, but I don't get along with it for some reason, which makes me think spending a lot more for a 335 or LP (or a Heritage version) may turn out the same way.

My Mira occasionally has me think about a more upscale PRS, but then I see the prices.

And I'd like a thinline Tele (or similar).

 

[mexicanyella]

I’d like to find a Esquire in Sahara Taupe, with a black PG, rosewood fretboard and a cream pickup.

Or a Strat shaped one-pickup hardtail custom; same visuals.

 

[Mike Simpson]

I don’t want any guitars or amps, I have too many already....
Might build something again someday after I finish the truck.

 

[Lake Placid Blue]

I’d love The Loar LM110 mandolin. Maybe I should start saving my pennies.

 

[Frisco 57]

I want ta find a woman that ain't gonna do me wrong...

 

[JRapp]

An SG Standard...or a 345.

 

[drewg]

My list? Ummm... a Telecaster. (I don't own one yet).

(Focused on a '69 MIM Thinline, preferably the sunburst. Or maybe the rare daphne blue)

 

[MrGibbly]

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.
https://www.tdpri.com/threads/recently-finished-thinline-style.1060818/#post-10390758
- 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?

...two left, a Gretsch and a 335.
