Acoustic - Lowden.

Gibson RD Artist Bass

Already own one of my dream guitars:

But now want a B302 and a fretless B301...

Definitely for me a lefty Steinberger I did see one in the flesh in the late 80s

In the last 3 years with the help of ebay I've bought loads of lefty gutars that I needed to get out of my system

Of those the Japanese Fender strats are great as is the Jackson Soloist I got from Canada

I always did want a melody maker single cut but I've got a custom Kauer Starliner Jnr on order so that will suffice

Also have my Japanese charvel body being resprayed in pink for the 80s hair metal look

ES-175D

a vintage 60s strat in sonic blue - as modelled here by John Lennon

I have a mexican classic player 60s strat in sonic blue - but if we are talking dream guitars I'd get the real thing

Les Paul, vintage fade, two-tone P90s modern bridge and locking tuners, no scratchplate

I'd really like a nice Sunburst Les Paul '58 or '59 RI, but that's a bit predictable. A ES330 in red w/Bigsby or a Huber Krutster II would be nice.

Though by preference it would be one of the anniversaries I helped make back in the day...

But selling it to pay for a Horsethief. Get in touch if you're interested.

Just sold all my guitars. Hoping to pick up a Yamaha SA soon 🙂

Either a ES330 or a casino, I'd have the strip the paint Obvs 🙂

i'd love one of those paisley Tele's.....

Always lusted after a Gretsch Tennessean.

Had a Rickenbacker 4001 once. Stupidly swapped it for a Fender Jazz. 😯

Also lusted after a Musicann Stingray ao went and bought one.

Dammit yourguitarhero! Have to add the Dan Armstrong bass to the list. Good enough for Geezer...

been fortunate to own my dream guitar for the last 30 years. truely wonderful instrument 🙂

[img] [/img]

actually i love my ibanez s 420 wb guitar.if it had a decent jack socket and whammy bar that would stay tight then it would be perfect.

would love a rickenbacker bass though (or one of those carbon status headless basses (mark king model).

The Japanese Bass VI

Nearly bought one when I was out there last time... I don't play enough any more to justify one though

Some fine taste being shown on this thread

I own one of these, it's a Terry Pack SJS. Its rather lovely and rekindling my love for steel string acoustic's rather than the Nylon Flamenco I normally play.

Yamaha SGs are awesome.

Here's my collection:
[img] [/img]

Butterscotch blonde telecaster, black single ply scratch plate. I've got a Baja at the moment, which is lovely!

Something like a National Resonator 14 fret.
[img] [/img]

And a porch, a woman and dog.
The woman would leave me.
Then my dog.
But I could sit on the porch and play the blues.

Dream guitar at the moment is probably this:

A 1965 Gretsch Country Gent with a Supertron in the neck position.

My two home made jobbies one day I hope to make other peoples dream guitars.

Give me a custom Warwick Thumb through neck and I'd be a happy camper.

Nice work psychobiker!

This was my dream guitar, sadly the reality didn't live up to it....

Are these classics to be played or hung on the wall? I'd rather play a modern Squire than most vintage Fenders or even Fender's recent copies of their own classics which copy the original neck shapes.

This is my main guitar these days but with DiMarzio pick ups as an upgrade. I can remember hiring some old school pedals from a company once whilst doing some studio work and going to the owners home where he proudly showed me his Les Paul Custom gold top IRC so rare that it was valued at 100 grand and usually kept in a vault. It was just coincidence that I happened to be there the one time a year he brought the thing out. I just thought ...what's the point? A guitar is for playing!

I'd rather play an 80's Japanese [b]squier [/b]than pretty much any US fender made this century

I have 4, which is nice

Have:

80s Yamaha SG1000S. Ace.
78 SG Special. Nice.
90s Japan fender Jag. For Sale, nice but not used.
Ovation semi. 30th birthday prezzie from Mrs B, bless her 🙂

Would love a Gretsch Country Gent. Or Harrisons guitar decorated by The Fool.

@yourguitarhero:

What model is the orange tele in your photo??

if I could play I'd like a Yamaha SG

but I can't so I've got a Yamaha Strat thing and a Washburn something or other that looks like a Les Paul.

I'm a sucker for a really nice guitar, but at the end of the day it only matters that it plays well.

But I wish I had my battered 52 reissue Tele with the really thick butterscotch coating back. I sold it for a windsurfing holiday in Cape Verde.

One day one of these will be mine.

Maybe dream guitars should remain dreams. When I bought my last dream guitar (PRS below), it was a bit disappointing. Lovely, but not as good as I'd imagined.
[img] [/img]

The orange Tele is a Charvel San Dimas Type 2.
Great guitar - fast, flat neck, genuine Floyd Rose and the paint has an amazing pearl effect that is really hard to photograph!

They made a USA series and a Japanese one, mine is the original USA one. Supposedly the Japanese ones are slightly nicer and came with a nice case (instead of a gig bag like mine) and were the same price. I've never played a Japanese one though.

It was in the window of a guitar shop between my house and work - a short walk that I made 4 times a day as I had lunch at home.
Think I bought it less than 2 weeks after they got it in - was £500 and came with two weird alien guitar straps.

Here it is in action:

Cool... thanks! 🙂

Ygh, that Charvel is real purty! I like the Tele shape, but find the details a bit 'fussy', like the ashtray tailpiece, and the shape of the scratchplate, but that Charvel deals with that very nicely. About the only other change I'd make is to cut the top of the body above the neck to match the lower cutaway, making it symmetrical. I'm a sucker for symmetrical guitars.
Having said that, I love the Les Paul, [i]sans[/i] pick guard, that's a beauty. 😀
