tweed1 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 ]I know that it's not an Epiphone, but the Gretsch 125th Anniversary Chet Atkins G6120 isn't just a dream guitar, it's a wet dream guitar. Only 25 will be made. List is $12,500 (although some will, I'm sure, go for much more). Transparent Orange stain over real gold leaf on the body! All gold hardware. You even get a commemorative hand-tooled leather strap thrown in (but then for that price, you should). One of my luthiers saw one at the Namm show and said that pictures don't really do it justice. If I had one it would never go out, just stay hidden away. Hmmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bynapkinart Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Shape: Casino Finish: Cherry Bridge: ABR-1 with TUSQ Saddles Nut: TUSQ Tailpiece: Vintage Long Trapeze OR 1960's Epiphone "E" Vibrato Hardware: Nickel Pickguard: Black 5-ply Pickups: Custom "Hot-Vintage" Epiphone P90s OR Gibson P90s, Black plastic covers Control knobs: 1960s Gibson Memphis Tone Circuit, CTS Pots, Switchcraft Jack and Switch, Vintage shielded wire Wood: Maple ply OR Maple-Birch-Maple-Birch-Maple 5-ply Neck joint: Long Tenon, meets body at 17th fret Neck: Gibson 30-60 Taper Inlays: Trapezoid Headstock: Epiphone Casino Headstock Truss Rod Cover: Vintage 2-hole Epiphone E TRC Headstock Inlays: Epiphone logo Tuning keys: Kluson single-line, button keys In other words, this: I'm actually serious when I say that my current guitar is my dream guitar. I guess in the interests of having a little fun with it, I guess my backup dream guitar would have to be one of those Gibson SG Classics with P90s. Actually better yet, my backup dream guitar would have to be this: Gibson Les Paul Special Doublecut, TV Yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I don't really have a dream guitar, just a number of guitars that I lust for at any one time. At the moment I'm lusting for the following. And, at the moment, I'm lusting for a mid '70s Silverface Fender Princeton Reverb to tackle the clean sounds that my 5E3 can't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyg Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 My dream guitar has been planned for a very long time and , with a MAJOR birthday coming up, I'm kind of hoping.... Body Shape: Thinline Telecaster Body Materials: Mahogany with a bound maple cap, like a Les Paul but flat topped. No scratchplate or maybe a clear one. Neck: 57/58 profile Tele 25.5 inch scale maple with a rosewood fingerboard. (Maybe a fixed neck) Tuners: Something like vintage Klusons but with locks if possible. Bridge: Strat type tremolo. Pickups: 2xP90 soapbars. (may consider mini hums but my heart says P90's) Controls: Regular Tele plate and switch but with dual concentric controls (maybe a phase switch added). Hope: that this would achieve my ultimate goal of a Tele/335/Les Paul Jnr/Strat cross. Obviously this would have to be custom made and I've had a couple of quotes around £1400.00. I can't make it myself from parts, even if they were available, as I have neither the time or the skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSDx Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 My dream guitar just might belong to this guy, and since there's only one of them (not counting "replicas" and "copies") in existence, I doubt he'd be parting with it in any way...I suppose I could live with a Super or Guyton, but ..... I'd still dream of the RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyscaglyc Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Dream guitar: Gretsch White Falcon body/neck/headstock/ebonyboard.

milod Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I think I've already come close with two mid-1970s guitars I picked up where I could find them. One's an Ibanez "patent infringement" ES175 that came out in the Norlin era and was quite an instrument. The other's a guild version of an SG. I just picked up a new Dot. Frankly since I'm not totally a "looks" freak in my old age, the only think I'd like to change would be a master volume on all 3. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I am lucky to have my dream guitar (pic to left): Gordon Smith Galaxy inspired by a 335 but with extra individual touches like a florentine cutaway, inhouse wound H/Bs with coil tap and neat binding. It will take high gain for blues/rock and with one or more coils tapped will give a country snap...eponymously versatile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buliwyf Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Not so much a dream,I owned them but with being out of work sold them for cash (I'm not whinning someday I'll get them back!) 1969 Gibson LP gold top with 57 classic HB's This one really hurts an origional Iron Maiden Strat with 3 stacked humbuckers and a floyd,I dont think they made many and never advertised them. The best feeling guitar I have ever owned a 2002 Peavey Wolfgang custom,what unbelieval pickups and feeling neck. O well someday I'll replace them.

MrSaint Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hmm.. Tricky question. But my dream guitar would be the one Angus Young from AC/DC uses (not a replica or something, but HIS guitar), or perhaps Mark Knopfler's Dobro.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
