Christmas time, If only I could splurge...

[merseybeat1963]

I've had the good fortune to have been able to experience a real Splurge in the past..(and not be buried afterwards)..

But those days, together with a decent sex drive are gone (I still have hope though : )..for both.

This Christmas my beloved wife & I both being unemployed for quite sometime ...and my Silk carpet on ebay not about to sell, I can only dream..

 

Oddly if I had to pick only one single guitar,it would probably be a Lowden.

But if I was loose..all on the wish list are Gibsons.

 

Foremost would be a good used HD28 for a friend & a used lefty Lowden for my brother.

For myself I shamefully would go for this lot on ebay...

 

Gibson 1934 L5 Reissue http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-34-L-5-Archtop-Guitar-Mint-Cond-Leather-case-Rare-/190764520781?pt=Guitar&hash=item2c6a73954d

Or.. an original but for a few k less: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-L-5-Sunburst-refinished-1930-/271091250301?pt=Guitar&hash=item3f1e4c347d

 

Gibson J 200 Brazilian Bling Central: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-100th-Anniversary-Gibson-Custom-SJ-200-/170930200146?pt=Guitar&hash=item27cc3bde52

 

Gibson Les Paul Jr 56/57 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-Gibson-Les-Paul-Jr-/150960586573?pt=Guitar&hash=item2325f3bf4d

 

Of course they would have to stand up favorably to the existing guitars at home..but this team has potential.

My wife says you might as well put strings on this kitchen table when I mention the Bling J200...but she won't let me sell off Prototype A..(high respect)

 

Any wish list?

Hummingbird, and an Advanced Jumbo - but not vintage - makes me nervous just being in the same room.

Definitely starting to take a shine to Lowdens.....
