SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 OK guys, imagine you win the lottery. If you could have any 5 guitars in the world, which would they be? My top picks: 2009 R9 - HCS 2007 LP Standard - Honey Burst 1962 Fender Stratocaster Reissue- Ocean Turqouise Gibson SJ-200 True Vintage Acoustic- Vintage Sunburst Gibson Firebird Studio- Ebony Keep in mind I chose guitars that I would actually play regularly, as I'm not much of a collector... And I know the last one isn't exactly a "lottery" guitar, but I just can't get over how cool those guitars look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Funny, I know two lottery winners and they didn't buy any guitars... I wouldn't spend $500,000 on a real '59, but I would look into vintage Les Pauls...probably $100,000 on a nice '57 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Sweeeeeeet! I'll play: 1. Jimmy Page's "the One" 2. Edward's "Frankenstein" 3. B.B.'s "Lucille" 4. Stevie Ray's "Lenny" 5. Tim's R9 **Edit** I am a lottery winner! Won $2 on a $2 ticket! I didn't buy any guitars with it, though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 OK, let's see 1.) Jimmy Page signature LP (probably keep this one under glass) 2.) The most expensive custom shop LP Custom in silverburst 3.) One of those reissue guitars you guys brag about. I'd want the 1960 model so I guess that's an R0? 4.) Reissue of LP goldtop with the P.90s and the wrap around stopbar 5.) Original of every model LP Special and Jr. from the early 60's. Single and double-cut. Most in TV yellow plz.

SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 A good friend of mine (also named Tim, incidentally) has a completely original 1963 Les Paul Junior Double Cut- TV Red though, not yellow. still a gorgeous guitar, it's in perfect condition and is completely stock.

Wolff Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'll take it! I said 'most' not 'all'. That can be a nice color. I've seen them in a couple LP books I have. I guess Tim is a popular name around here. It also happens to be the name of my favorite album by one of my favorite bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I wouldn't buy ANY guitars in the beginning. I'd build a studio and make it a really good place to be. Weighted towards guitar based music, either solo or band, acoustic or electric, with all the facilities. Then I would encourage the nicest musos to use the facility to rehearse and record. Then maybe if a really nice guitar came by that called out to me, I might make the owner an offer. But the fun and pleasure of having players playing and enjoying would be better than ANY guitar hanging on a wall or (worse yet) unplayed in a case behind glass.....
