Randmo Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 If you could buy any guitar you wanted what would you get? I think I would go for the Donavan J-45
Dave F Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 One of Tom's vintage pieces. (Let's Pick one out) Since that's not going happen I'm currently working on a J200 Koa
MissouriPicker Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I don't know for sure. It wouldn't necessarily be the most expensive. At the moment I'm kind of in the hunt for perhaps an AJ of some kind. I've changed a bit in the last few months on my views of all these different models of AJs, Hummingbirds, and J45s. While I'm still pretty much a traditionalist in regards to what a Hummingbird is, what a J45 etc. is, I can look at these different models and accept them for what they are: excellent variations of legends. Anyways, that's how I see them. I could also go for a true vintage J45 if the nut width works for me.....I've been intrigued throughout the years by a few $6000+ guitars, particularly some "vine" models, but I'm typically very content with guitars around $3000 and less......Interesting question.
zombywoof Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I already own a 1942 J50 so figure it just ain't gonna get any better. That said though, I sure as heck would not kick a 1930-1931 Nick Lucas out of bed.

Smurfbird Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Well, I put an order in for a Martin M-36. I have a Hummingbird. I have a J-200, an Lg-1, an LG-3 and a Sheryl Crow C&W, so I'm feeling like I got my Gibsons covered at the moment. My D-28 was my dad's so I"m super familiar with its feel and sound and an M-36, an 0000size, with the low profile, 1-11-16" nut I prefer should be an interesting addition. Nice for a change-up.
Slinky1 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I have three Gibsons right now. (J-200, Blues King, J-15) I have been gassing for a Southern Jumbo of some type. The more I look at the Jackson Browne, the more I like it. I'm kind of liking the '34 Original Jumbo reissue too. I've seen some good prices lately on the JB and OJ.
kidblast Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I think it would have to be a J200.... yes,, that's the one,,..
jannusguy2 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I'm fortunate in that I have every one that I want. I cannot think of one that is missing from my little collection or that I covet. It sort of feels odd to be at this place after having GAS for 7 years. 1951 J45 2007 Roy Smeck Re-issue 2012 J200TV 2013 Western Classic 1960 D18 1972 D28 2009 00018 2012 CSD18-12
BluesKing777 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I'm very happy at the moment, but something might show its face....... I would need to extend my music room OUT. BluesKing777.
Gibson Artist Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 If you could buy any guitar you wanted what would you get? I think I would go for the Donavan J-45 If it had to be new probably a j200, if i could get used an original 52 tele broadcaster.

Very nice collection "Jannusguy"! I especially like those Gibsons.
Jjunk Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Couldn't be more thrilled with my 1928 tribute L-1 ... but, it'd be a dream come true to score one of the quirky original Nick Lucas Specials. Cool link: http://home.provide.net/~cfh/nick.html Also, I've played a couple Martin 00-28vs models that blew me away. If only they came with the Gibson sunburst treatment!
milod Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Well, since it's "any," perhaps a Gallagher Ragtime Special fitted as an AE - but "custom" with a 24" scale. Given my bank accounts it ain't likely, though. m
MR GIBS Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 The guitar or the outfit? Sorry, but I am not american and I really don't understand what you ask here.
Pittgibson45 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 For me it would be a J-200 standard in natural finish. One with a nice flame back(I have seen some that were not so nice). After that the only other guitar I want is one in sunburst!
E-minor7 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Hail Atlantis! Now you're talkin' Zomb - with that one as square 1 you can't go wrong. . .
E-minor7 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Sorry, but I am not american and I really don't understand what you ask here. He means the guit. or the pirate-dress, GIBS - I'm convinced you think about the role as a whole. . . ,-)
E-minor7 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Regarding the dream-acoustic, my choice a few years back would have been a darker hued Firebird Custom without the flames. Still admire the guitar, but longer like obsessed. Played a whole bunch of excellent Marts the other day - among others a John Mayor OMJM, a Clarence White and a D-28 Authentic, , , , , , , , still my quest would be the exact right first 60's square Southern Jumbo, Bird, or CW.
bobouz Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Very satisfied right now with what I've got, but curious about playing a Byrdland short-scale instrument to see how significant the playability differences would be.
