This sort of picks up from Freak Shows Holy Grail thread. Here is my current short list:

 

 

 

1. ES 175, I tried one in a local music shop the other day.... I had no idea they played like that!!

 

2. 59 LP Reissue flame top burst, have always wanted one of these... some day...

 

3. A real 1968 Black Beauty, I don't know why, I have a 2008 Black Custom that's killer, weighs a ton though.

 

4. Doves in Flight acoustic, after seening a couple posted here in the forum I'm nuts for one....

 

Any one else GASin'?

Rickenbacker 360

SG Standard

Epiphone John Lennon Casino (Oh! Look above! What a co-inky-dink!)

Some sort of bigass jazz guitar

Gretsch Brian Setzer model

BC Rich Warlock

BC Rich Bich

 

The only one I could somewhat justify is the Ric as it's something I could use for a really different sound. I have a really good collection of guitars already (save for a good acoustic) so I'm pretty satisfied with what I have.

Californiaman's Surf Green Tele

 

Careful' date=' coveting someone else's guitars is a sin.

No really,

Thanks gibsonkid. That was nice.

Save your money. Look around. You'll find one.

I'm wanting one of those Vox Virages.

I'd also like a Black Beauty with a Bigsby.

I'm man enough to handle the weight.

Wouldn't mind a couple other guitars too.

Mostly all of them Gibsons. The list is just too long to post.

The right CS 356 will someday join my stable. And a LP Florentine, the semi-hollow with f-holes version. I still lust after a Blueshawk with a Bigsby.

 

But first I gotta fill the void in my life that was left behind when my SR5000 jilted me. But that's a "need", rather than a simple indulgence. Really. No...really!

By the way; the factory wrap is still on the pick-guard... I mention this' date=' so that you will know that the pick-guard is actually black.[/quote']

 

That's actually disappointing. Before I saw the closeup, I thought the pickguard was mother-of-toiletseat which I think would look much cooler.

All kidding aside, I think the 175 is probably THE classic for comfort playing and the best all-around electric guitar in terms of size and shape as well as versatile sound. Yeah, you can get feedback rocking. So cover the F holes.

 

If you want to go higher on the neck, get a cupla SGs, one with P90s and one HB.

 

I dunno why I don't care for the LP except for weight.

 

There's a certain point of adjustment on a 335 where there's a really special sound I like for blues.

 

And the idea of a Gibson neck on a Tele sounds great to me to combine that sound with a neck I like.

 

Thing is, I could list a coupla dozen guitars I'd love to have, but deep down, I know that a new 175 set up to my liking would probably still get 80-90 percent of my playing time.

I was doing ok 'till I read this thread [biggrin] [biggrin]

 

I need a double neck. I'd like a Double Neck Nighthawk, but that's only in the Dream World. I'd love a EDS-1275 Alpine White, but I'd settle for an Epi as long as it has Set Necks. I've been pricing a Strat Body Double Neck Warmoth Project (SBDNWP), and at a conservative estimate of $1500 when all is said and done I might do the Warmoth one piece at a time over a couple years.

 

I'd make it a Mary Kay doubleneck.

 

Guitars I don't "Need" but want.

 

Les Paul Axcess

ES-1339 Light Burst like Ice Tea, Amber, or even Lemon

ES - 335 Heritage Cherry. Been on the want list since I saw Robert Plants Guitarist use on back in '91.

ES - 175

Warmoth Strat w/ Mahogany Neck and Body

Warmoth Strat w/ Rosewood Neck and Body

72' Deluxe Telecaster

J-45

J-300

Montana Gold Flame Top

Martin Eric Clapton Sig

early 90's Eric Clapton Strat, Gun Metal Grey.

Something with P-90's like

 

Blueshawk

Fender TC-90

Gary Moore BFG Les Paul

That PRS with Soap Bar.
