I'm not sure what the fuck the guy was thinking when he listed strat in the item description, but still so fucking awesome.

I'd love to gotten this very guitar as it has the best flametop I have ever seen in person.

I want one of these

ok fine i could settle for just those 4

If I won the lotto, Gretsch would be gettin a good chunk of my money.

Tho honestly I'd probably just frankenstein a bunch of my own.

I'd love to own a Rickenbacker, not even really for significant playing purposes. I'd just like one. Occasionally I think about playing them for a while at stores, but there is something about asking them to get down a Rickenbacker that seems a bit touchy.

do eastwood guitars play well? are they well-made $400-$500 guitars?

i am a huge fan, have been really impressed w/the samples ive played (ive been trying to get them into my store for about a year now but lol economy) to be fair, there is kind a quality jump at the over $500 mark because production (generally) shifts to korean production vs. chinese, but its obv that they are working with one of the high-grade chinese factories (oh and believe me there is a massive difference from one to the next).

also the fact that they tend not to use cookie cutter of the rack hardware helps tremendously, many a decent guitar has been brought to its knees via a dir-cheap tunamatic bridge.

i've dreamed about a gibson firebird non-reverse for a long, long time. doesn't get much cooler in my book. they usually go for silly money though and considering how little i play at the moment it's not gonna happen in a while.

I think we all obviously need one of these:

eastwood has a chinese non-reverse firebird that could be just the ticket

most of the eastwoods are a little too flashy for me but that last one is pretty great

that's pretty nice (the price sure is) but i'm not too keen on the headstock

Headstock is always the least of my concerns.

kinda want this vintage gretsch just because of how bizarro it is:

(click on the pic to see it bigger)

man, talk about a hockey-stick headstock. that is terrific -- it looks like a Mosrite!

btw, while you're there, will you pick me up the $11,000 Rickenbacker? I'll pay you back later, swear

that store is nuts, and is also one of the most attractive (as in the space) guitar stores i have ever been in. i go in there all the time and play all their ridiculous guitars and then buy some picks or a guitar cable or something. i bought my last guitar there (the epiphone dot) and i think it was literally the cheapest guitar they had in the entire store.

1 pls

Still want the Mosrite I posted upthread.

Actually for practical reasons, I want a '72 Fender Telecaster Thinline (don't own anything with humbuckers)

There needs to be a spin-off thread about amps though.

This Bunker Duo-lectar (and also the skill, knowhow and freak spider fingers to play it:

(xp) If I was being interviewed by that guy I'd be all "stop touching my bloody guitar!"

the fuck i can't have this bass fuck you you fuck fuck you!

i wish i could read Portuguese

one day if i ever have an income i will buy one of those old harmony archtop jazz boxes with those big murky metal-covered p-13s. + if there are any magical wish-granting cosmic deity types listening i would like to instantly play like tal farlow upon purchasing, ok thx

always wanted a lucite Ampeg Dan Armstrong (a la Keef ca. Let It Bleed/Altamont or Greg Ginn)

I'm not a gear fetishist. I only have a Martin acoustic right now, but I guess I could use an electric at some point. I'd probably pick up a Jazzmaster and a Vox AC30, and some pedals.

my guitar lust just disappeared a couple of years ago, not sure why. i'd still grab a telesonic if one turned up cheap though.

wouldn't get another rick or any vox these days

Huh? Why not Vox? Is it because they're made in Korea now? I'd probably go with a vintage British model of some type.

i wouldn't get a new one full stop, i just think if i was looking for another guitar it would be more full-bodied in sound

Huh? Why not Vox? Is it because they're made in Korea now? I'd probably go with a vintage British model of some type.

The Korg UK-built AC30s from the mid-90s are still pretty undervalued

looking for a japanese cheapo for xmas, preferably audition, i have a jedson, sekova and two audition guitars already, great tone off the bat

yeahhh, is there much info out there as to how specifically companies like audition, kay, teiscio, and so on were related? or am i only thinking that they were cuz dearmond was just licencing out his wares to anybody and whoever? or somethin? always wanted a more concise and detailed history on all the weird and cheap offbrand stuff but there probably wouldn't be, huh.

i still want three electrics although i don't play enough or have enough space to justify them. getting an upgraded japanese jag reissue last year does mean i have one electric that really kicks ass. but i'd still love to get these:

1. a reissue jazzmaster with early specs--sunburst, gold anodized guard, 50s logo.
2. a goldtop les paul with p-90s like the one clay tarver plays with chavez
3. a really resonant tele with a massive maple neck, probably white blonde

I got the jetglo rickenbacker primarily because it was the a color choice for Peter Buck, Carrie Brownstein and Paul Weller. I can't remember why I got a white jaguar. I think maybe because I thought I needed a more elegant color. I got the jaguar over the jazzmaster because short arms. The les paul color is so embarrassing but that guitar is so comfy to play. I also always wanted a Danelectro seafoam guitar but mostly just because of the aesthetics.

At some point I'm going to buy an EGC500. Also I'd like a Moog guitar but I wouldn't spend for it.

I'd really like a Dean Razorback, preferrably with lightning bolts on it, although an explosion would do. But until then, I will get by with my G&L ASAT. Can't fuck with teles, imo. Kinda want something with P90s in it too. I have a G&L Fallout, but I never really got along with the body shape.

As far as basses go, I'm more inclined toward an opposite aesthetic. Interested in trying out an Epiphone Jack Casady or Guild Starfire.

Could put some humbucker-shaped P90s in the imaginary Razorback, I guess.

I have an Epiphone '56 Goldtop reissue with Fralin noise-cancelling P-90s, sounds great.

I bought an unfinished body and neck for a Jazzblaster like Lee Ranaldo but I can't decide what color to have it painted

Olympic white + a fancy pants tortoiseshell guard is a leading option:
https://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/img_3757.jpg?w=2000&h=1334
but with shiny humbuckers instead of the ivory JM pickups

or charcoal frost, with either fancy tortoiseshell or mint:

Got my dream guitar yesterday. You’ll laugh at how modest a dream it was - I’ve wanted a mid 80s Ibanez Roadstar for years ever since learning that my all time favorite guitar sound, that on Meat Puppets’ Up On The Sun, was not Curt Kirkwood’s characteristic Gibson LP but rather a Roadstar he’d just gotten.

Been in the twin cities for over a week bc my mom is in the hospital and the guitar center in maple grove had a used one for $350 (cream color) and I drove her car out there and played it and loved it and bought it.

It’s not perfect (e string likes to slip off the feet edge a bit) but it’s perfect.

(Note: the other part of the up on the sun gtr recipe per Curt K was one of those Tom Scholz Rockman thingies - do they make some kind of clone of that these days?)

For $50k you can buy Vincent Gallo's Travis Bean bass

literally a "dream guitar" - last night i dreamed that i found online a vintage blue semihollowbody guitar, but with a headstock that was twice as long as a normal headstock with a hinge in the middle; i.e. the top half of the headstock could fold up. i guess the idea was then you could clip sheet music to this part? for some reason this made the guitar EXTREMELY desirable to me. i don't even read sheet music.

One you can file under cool as he11 but way too much money to ever consider actually purchasing is that Collings Julian Lage signature electric guitar.
