Won the lottery - first ten guitars?

I win the lottery about once a month on average.. Unfortunately it's only the $25.00 or so prize level... But if I won the big millions, I would seek out the best Vintage 1959 LP I could find and play it daily!

I'm quitting cigarettes in April and until June I will be spending the 5 bucks a day on scratch tickets. Hopefully I will win something big and if I do I'll let you guys know which axe I get.

 

I wish it was $5 a pack in Jersey, it's almost $7 here. I just did the math, I'd save over $2500 if/when I quit. It kind of just put some things in perspective. Oh, and I think I'd switch out the Ibanez Musician for a PRS Mira Flame Top in Vintage Natural with bird inlays and a wide/thin neck too.

1) Alex Lifeson ES-355 (then I'd take it to a Luthier to fix the volute)

2) R9 50th Anniversary

3) ES-339

4) '54 Les Paul Goldtop VOS

5) EDS-1275

6) '57 Custom Les Paul Black Beauty with Bigsby

7) ES-175 Reissue

8) Custom Howard Roberts Fusion III

9) SG Standard Reissue with Maestro VOS

10) Dark Fire (the engineer in me would take it apart though)

 

I think I'd move onto other companies after about guitar number 30 from Gibson...

If by 'Vintage' you mean they must all be new then something like :

 

1) '54 LP Custom VOS.

 

2) '54 LP Standard VOS with non-matched flame Maple top finished in Tea-burst. I've seen a few snaps of one and it was absolutely stunning.

 

3) '56 LP Standard Gold-top VOS.

 

4) '60 LP Standard VOS with non-matched flame Maple top finished exactly as Gibson's '50th Anniversary '59'

 

5) '63 Firebird VII in either Inverness Green or Cardinal Red.

 

6) '58-spec Natural Explorer.

 

7) '48 Broadcaster R-I.

 

8) '57 Strat in Fiesta Red.

 

9) '64 Strat in Lake Placid Blue.

 

10) 00018 Martin.

 

 

The only two which are not subject to change would be (1) and (4).

Vintage are forbidden : check original posting.

 

Right you are. My bad.

 

That being the case I'm not buying any new guitars. I have the one I want to die playing, that being the Gibson Les Paul Standard. It kicks A$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
