tc rocker Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Back in the 60's everyone wanted a les Paul, a strat, & a Ricky 12 string. Oops I'm showing my age again. Any who, what did you dream of when you first started playing guitar??? Did you get them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namvet Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Being able to play. Still have that fantasy but do have the guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A Sunburst Les Paul. Yes. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Started electric in about '65 with an ES125-TC and did not lust for anything different until about '69 at which time I wanted a Les Paul. I got a used goldtop in '70 for $300. It had soap bar cream P-90s which I didn't care for that much so routed out the top and had humbuckers installed. Played it like that for about 25 more years through a Twin Reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A black SG Standard. Now, I think my dream guitar would be a '79 or '80 Flying V in silver burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellen Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The dream guitar i guess is a 63-64 all original sg standard, but i do got some nice guitars so i ain't complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Bill Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A sunburst double bound maple neck Telecaster. Came very close to owning the Jerry Donahue model, and the guy that was selling it told me NOT to buy it. Said it was Japanese and a slice of crap...his words. So I figured he was an honest man...I was willing to shell out $850 for it. Next Fantasy guitar is either a Byrdland or a Super 400. Maybe one day. A Midtown would also be nice... if they ever bring them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Back in the 60's everyone wanted a les Paul, a strat, & a Ricky 12 string. Oops I'm showing my age again. Any who, what did you dream of when you first started playing guitar??? Did you get them? speaking of dream guitars, jon uli roth's (scorpions) Dean 'sky' guitar is quite unique, both feature and shape wise. the roundish tear drop shape is something other than the traditional single/double cutaway shape that i like. the fret board is scalloped and unusual, the higher frets are laid at microtones, different intervals from the standard, i think like 1/4 tone intervals. when i was your age (lol) ... my dream guitar was that mid-eighties white strat with lace sensors. dreams change, bought an lp (which filled the dream space quite well).

kidblast Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 it was probably an Cherry SG Standard. I had a Telecaster, but I "Wanted more!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-7 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Black es355 with gold hardware and lyre. Nowadays I'd take that or a Pelham blue one, absolutely love that color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Black es355 with gold hardware and lyre. Nowadays I'd take that or a Pelham blue one, absolutely love that color. Yeah, an ES-345, and/or ES-355 are BOTH on my "Bucket List!" IF I (actually) get them, is another story! Sure would be nice, though! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A dark burst Les Paul like Page and Slash... And yes my avatar shows my 2002 classic. It was the second LP I owened after I had a wine red studio for ten years. And its still my dream guitar :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 . I started about 66 on my brothers knock off Strat. I bought and sold off-brand stuff until I finally got a used 65 Melody Maker around 74, but I really wanted a figured burst LP. Man, paying the dues on a couple of those off-brand "guitars" was brutal. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I guess... From the beginning I wanted a really fine classical guitar. Now I'm thinking a less-than-fine nylon AE set up more like a flamenco guitar. Electrics... Never really had a super want list. I kinda walked into the 175 and the old Harmony archtop; swapped around and ended up with the Guild S100c that's an SG clone... Now a double bit of semis and another archtop or two just kinda happened. For me, it's more looking for a magic feel than anything else. I'd like a better 12, but just a better flattop and mag pup with onboard control would do fine. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Jacob Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I started playing in 1991 at the end of the hair metal days...my dream guitar was probably a neon-green Jackson Soloist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 My first dream guitar was the reverse Firebird VII in sunburst or Cardinal Red-I could've bought one-a '64- at my buddy's guitar shop in the mid 70s for just $450 along with a late 60s 1959 Marshall 100W plexi with factory covered White Elephant Hide Tolex with Electric Blue grill cloth for $900 but I could've got both for $1,100 but didn't have the presense of mind to take out a bank loan to get them or the foresight to see what they'd end up being worth. My other faves are a 1961 SG bodied 3 pup white Les Paul Custom with a Maestro vibrato-that I also could've gotten for $450. Like all Beatle freaks I love Rick 325s and 360/12s,Gibson J-160-E,Gibson SJ-200,Martin D-28,a Gretsch Country Gent,a '65 SG,a '61 Sonic Blue Strat and Ramirez Classical guitar. , I'd also love to own a '54 Strat,another "L" series Strat, a Fender Coronado II,a 70s Fender Starcaster,a Jazzmaster and a Fender XII. A Coral Electric Sitar would also have a prime spot on my list. I partially succeeded in getting some of my dream guitars,I have a Sunburst Custom Shop Firebird V,an Epi G-400 Les Paul Custom,an Epi EJ-160-E,an Epi 1965 John Lennon Casino,a natural Casino,a '66 Gretsch Tennessean.I'll need a lottery win to pick up the rest...lol.

turtle Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 58 goldtop reissue. ( wanted the 57 but same idea). Now I want a black lp. Might have my burst sprayed black. Any objections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Back in the 60's everyone wanted a les Paul, a strat, & a Ricky 12 string. Oops I'm showing my age again. Any who, what did you dream of when you first started playing guitar??? Did you get them? Odd, but now that I think of it, most of the gear I wanted rarely had anything to do with my guitar. I wanted a 12-string so I traded my 6-string for it way back when I was a "yute". I've always just found a good tone with watever I had and used that.

NHTom Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Most of my "dream guitars" were more people's personal ones. A Cream colored Les Paul like Randy Rhoads (my next purchase is an LP) Black Ibanez Destroyer with 3 pickups like Phil Collen (never got one, but do have and Explorer) Hot Pink Jackson Soloist like Jeff Beck had for a while (Never got a pink one, but several Jacksons and Charvels) BC Rich Gunslinger with a Nagle graphic like Tracii Guns or CC Deville (never got a nagle, but have one in hot pink snakeskin..lol) White Firebird like Robin Crosby (actually missed the chance to own one of the jackson custom shop versions) LP Gold Top with P90's Like Mike Ness of Social Distortion(........I can dream can't I?) I'll throw in a dream amp too......Tweed Bedrock full stack like Aerosmith. All in all I can't complain.......I've owned many very cool guitars over the years.
