merciful-evans Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 A L5 such as this would see me out happy I reckon. I came across a similar one. When I eventually saw it, someone had fitted a Bigsby to it. It made me want to blub like a baby. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I'm still looking for the right Les Paul. I've had a few. The one I have now is really nice but I don't like the fret size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody78 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Maybe a Super 400 or an original 1957 Les Paul Custom for me. I already have a 57 Custom Reissue made in 2009 which is an amazing guitar, but it would be cool to have one that was from 'The Golden Era' I guess. I always wanted a LP Artisan or the 1976 'The Les Paul' just because they look amazing...I've never tried one. Over the years I have built up a large collection, so I really don't need anything else. I should probably be selling a few instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) ...oh, actually, an original 1957 ES 5 Switchmaster to go with my 2010 reissue. I prefer humbuckers hence the year choice. Edited May 22, 2021 by cody78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I got two of mine in the past twelve months: a new, USA-made Epiphone Texan and Casino. As much as I like the romanticism of getting vintage examples, I like a fresh new guitar - especially when they cost half of what a comparable vintage would cost. In between I got a vintage Epiphone Cortez, which became my favorite guitar after two months and an additional 20% of my purchase price invested in repairs. I have a wishlist, but at this point they are often just minor changes from guitars I already own. The only real gap in my collection is a high-quality Fender, and I just haven't found one that works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01GT eibach Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I already have a contender for "nicest playing SG on the planet" in my '79 SG Standard (Kalamazoo made). In addition, I have two awesome Gibson-USA (non-CS) Les Pauls, one with P90s and one w/ humbuckers, but both with beautiful carved maple tops, body/neck binding, MoP-logo inlays, trap fret markers, and HSC's. I also have some other pretty cool "also ran" guitars too. For guitars, I am good. My bucket list items can go elsewhere ...

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 On 5/22/2021 at 12:50 AM, Mr. Natural said: Since it was first introduced, the price keeps creeping up. I need to get one before it gets so high I can no longer afford it. I'll be 70 next month. What a nice birthday present to myself.... Do it. That 000-28EC I played in a GC in North Myrtle Beach last year was used and $26 or $28 hundo and I should have gotten it. It sounded so damn good. I remember saying to myself, this is totally different than my standard one. Someone got a great guitar. The last time I was there the acoustic room was decimated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
