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.

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 so closely associate dearmond with cla$$y gretsch guitars, and duane eddy, sometimes i forget about the cheapie guitars...oh and the whole weird ry cooder thing...i don't think i get that guy. should i get that guy?)

I can (at least somewhat) lead you through the zone on thus stuff - dearmond pre-fender ownership was pretty much just a pickup manufacturer. I would get more detailed here but I am stuck ilxing on iPhone so I am already getting frustrated. Ask away tho, I am glad to type on this thing as long as I don't also have to come up w/ the questions.

I currently drawing a total blank on audition tho??? Is that an old school thing or more recent?

audition were japanese manufactured, mid-late 60s, and from what i've seen of 'em just look a lot like a lot of the other wonky cheap guitars from the time that would look at home in hound dog taylor's hands. i'm a total blank slate on that stuff though so idk if that's totally broad. i mean i don't even know what questions to ask tbh.

ok so this is sort of leading me out of the fog, at least somewhat, in terms of brandname webbing and why i felt like i was seeing similar models with different brand names, and yah the whole dearmond/rowe industries thing was kind of a slap to own face once i actually, like, thought about it. still sort of confused as to specifics i guess. like for example, what harmony, idk, as an entity were and did exactly. they manufactured stuff for fender? weird?

see idk what questions to ask even, like i'm aware of all these bazillions of brands, but only as isolated points in a void...who the hell were eko...whats up with...see i'm not even gonna get started. my knowledge retention is a tenuous thing anyway and i'm currently plodding through development of the guitar e.g. weird reniasance vihuela de mano and four course etc blah, it's sort of weird thinking about modern guitars tbh.

this book is pretty cool: http://books.google.com/books?id=msEJ8cMqng4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=weird+guitar+stories&source=bl&ots=z7G8A-r2N8&sig=AJuW33Bee9U0cuDhltH7kX2vBzY&hl=en&ei=pMn_TKmJGZ_hnQeL_7DeCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

but i think pretty much out of print

aaggghh why did that happen

i am bad at ilx

What on earth is that thing? It's...beautiful. I want one.

Looks like something that would be stashed in the 60's TV series Batcave. Also it's got a separate single coil pickup for each string, mounted at 90 degrees!

man both editions of those guitar stories books are very expensive!! and exactly the sort of thing i'm looking for :(

that bass was built by CCDB of Os Mutantes!

and i want it, really really badly.

and seperate on/on switches for each pickup? but only two knobs? i can't tell what's going on with that lower plate.

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.
