Guitars you'd love to own

**BrownSound1** · 02-04-2005, 11:17 PM

What are the guitars that you'd love to own,? For me I've always wanted a Gibson EDS1275 doubleneck...don't ask me why, just always wanted one. I also wanted a Kramer Ripley Stereo back in the 80's, but that is no longer on the MUST HAVE list. I wouldn't mind a Gretsch...don't know which model, but similar to Brian Setzer's. I think they have a cool tone. Another one is a Gibson ES-335. I love the necks on them, and I dig the smooth tone they produce when you have a slight overdrive going...real warm.

A '72 Tele Special. Black, like KEEFs. KEWL guitar!

An Ibanez Destroyer II, like Phil's in the "Photograph video! I'm a 80's CAT!

**Panamark** · 02-05-2005, 03:01 AM

Hey Matt ! You baiting me or what ???
I own that guitar, and its the best guitar Ive ever played,
recently had it fully restored..

As to what axe I want to own thats hard,
I think I already have them

If I buy one more, it will be a Black and white Les Paul.
(As much as Mary Frances loves me playing her Paul, its hers)

I now have a strat, a Les Paul, A tele, the destroyer II...

These are my favorites.... Perhaps a Maton acoustic could
be added....

**Panamark** · 02-05-2005, 03:27 AM

Good topic !

**The Scatologist** · 02-05-2005, 06:04 AM

Well,

I would like a 1958 or early 1959 Sunburst Les Paul

a Original Gold Top, (Love P-90's)

a Tak Matsumoto signature Les Paul (The gibson one not epiphone)

Eddie's 5150

uh well, that's about it. I'm more of a LP guy that uses kramers on the side.

(HATE Ibanez guitars, well I like the Destroyers but I don't like the Ibanez shred guitars with the little toothpick necks and stuff)

**smaz** · 02-05-2005, 06:14 AM

I'd say one either one of the following two:

The Gibson Thunderbird: I think they look great, and got an Epiphone version. The real thing would be brilliant

**smaz** · 02-05-2005, 06:15 AM

Bollocks, forgot the picture

**Panamark** · 02-05-2005, 06:16 AM

The neck on the destroyer is solid. No toothpick necks here.
Im originally a Les Paul freak. So you can trust me on that.

YOu did exclude the Destroyer, but I thought I would throw that
in, the neck is its strong point. Perfect. Great for solo work above
the 12th fret.. Great for Chunky power chords down low too..
Its a beauty. Some dude offered me $5000 and I knocked it back.
I wouldnt take 20,000 for it.. Too sentimental. Bought it when it
got released as a broke teenager with Rockstar aspirations.

**smaz** · 02-05-2005, 06:17 AM

Or a Rickenbacker: These look like great guitars, I'd like to play one. They also look different, which is good 'coz I don't like the generic style of basses, like Fenders - they all look the same, and everyone's got the 'two horn' style.......

**smaz** · 02-05-2005, 06:19 AM

And an acoustic bass, any make really. I only play with an amp at practices and any gigs, so I want an acoustic for when I practice at home.

**Eyes of the Night** · 02-05-2005, 07:26 AM

ibanez dt200 destroyer blizack! with a trem ...

**Cato** · 02-05-2005, 09:06 AM

Gretsch Silver Jet.

Fender Esquire w/maple 1 piece neck

**ThrillsNSpills** · 02-05-2005, 09:33 AM

I like steinbergers. Every time I play out with one there's always one very drunk person coming up to me and asking where the rest of it is. Never fails.

I've got 3 of them so the purple one isn't really necessary , but looks good to me.

**fe_lung** · 02-05-2005, 09:55 AM

I've wanted a Gibson 345 (like Porl Thompson from The Cure played) for years. Next on the list is a telecaster, though. Then a nice six string bass......

Didn't Nikki Sixx have a signature edition Thunderbird a few years ago, or did he just pimp the regualr ones?

**Soul Reaper** · 02-05-2005, 01:14 PM

I would love to play a Jackson Soloist. They just look so awesome.

Or a Gibson Les Paul.

**GAR** · 02-05-2005, 03:04 PM

If I could decide on a favorite guitar I wouldn't have decided as a teen to be a luthier.

I can make anything from nothing, and make anything made even better.

**The Scatologist** · 02-05-2005, 03:17 PM

GAR, make me a Geetar, I want ti to look something like DIS!

**GAR** · 02-05-2005, 03:42 PM

I did that for a bass player in 83 out of 2 inch thick solid maple

**The Scatologist** · 02-06-2005, 12:46 AM

Lemme guess ..... lol

It would be hilarious if this was the one.......

**Panamark** · 02-06-2005, 02:14 AM

Now thats the ugliest guitar Ive ever seen !

Matt, if you can actually find one for sale, beg, borrow, steal !
You will love it forever !

I havent seen any in Australia (apart from mine) for years.

**Nitro Express** · 02-06-2005, 05:13 AM

Someone had too much time on their hands for sure. It looks like something Angus Young could fuck that big inflatable Rosie doll with.

**RuzDNailz** · 02-06-2005, 05:48 AM

Strats and les pauls are great, but those different shaped bodies provide woofier sounds. My yamaha bass sounds okay, but fender jazz basses are where it's at! The heavier the body, the deeper the bass sounds. Hamer is pretty good, too.

BTW, if you had the choice between a Les Paul and a Stratocaster,
which one would you pick up? Or own both!

**Panamark** · 02-06-2005, 07:58 AM

I love Les Pauls and Strats.

(Acually that should read Fenders and Gibsons)

I guess if I had to chose, It would be a Les Paul.
But its stupid to compare them directly, they are
different, and great, in their own way.

I get sounds out of my Fenders that I dont out of
a gibson, and vice versa...

Totally different feel too..

The strats with the extra fret and a hot bridge pickup make
for one mean heavy metal guitar you can play for hours.
Most the Les Pauls (except the Studio and EPI's) are too
heavy (weight wise) after a few hours playing.
But they have such a great feel and tone..

Awww fuckit, they are all great !!

**Panamark** · 02-06-2005, 08:00 AM

Dont forget mid 80's Ibanez. Classic guitars !

**The Scatologist** · 02-06-2005, 08:19 AM

The thing I like the most about Les paul's are the weight.

**Coyote** · 02-06-2005, 11:50 AM

There's many that I'd love... but these are on top of my list:

- Wayne Guitars Rock Legend or Meanie Green
- Gibson Explorer (or a Wayne Guitars Exploder)

**buckshotjenkins** · 02-06-2005, 06:02 PM

i'd like a PRS custom 22, and a "stunt guitar" (zappa said vai was on "stunt guitar"...more or less a eddie kramer type with one great humbucker and a floyd rose. also a steinberger like ed's (but black) would be rad too. whoever started this thread is a jerk for reminding me that i don't have these guitars.

**GAR** · 02-07-2005, 03:08 PM

I was at Guitar Center Hollywood a few days ago where the floor sales guy JUST took out a black new Gibson Explorer from the box, a "76 Reissue" for $899, made in USA.

SUper buy.. whoever gets it.
I picked it up and looked it over.
Flawless. I was really surprised how bad I wanted it.

**tomballin** · 02-08-2005, 12:36 AM

Hey, can all you bros pool together, and loan me the money, so I can buy this guitar. The current asking price is only $1 million.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Roth On.

**ELVIS** · 02-08-2005, 02:18 AM

You're an idiot!

The neck on that guitar has one too many frets to be anything worth anything...

You suck!

**Panamark** · 02-08-2005, 05:49 AM

I reckon all strats should have that extra fret :p, but I have no idea
why this one would be worth one mill ?? Did John Lennon Sperm on
it ??

Hey fuck you Pelvis, you don't know shit. That's Jimi Hendrix guitar that was later used by Frank Zappa on several of his albums, and Jimi personally gave it to Frank, you fucking assclown.

Shite that axe was good enough for two of the greatest musical geniuses ever, but not a POS Moderator like you Pelvis that seriously struggles with your manhood.

THAT WAS MY LAST POST TO YOU FUCKSTICK,......and this is the 4th time you have pulled this fucking blindside shit on me MR. MODERATOR

**Soul Reaper** · 02-08-2005, 02:22 PM

look at this crazy guitar...

**GAR** · 02-08-2005, 09:14 PM

Total.
Tweaker.
Guitar.

I can easily visualize Eyes sitting in front of that gleaming monstrosity with the TV in the background on, bouncing colorful pretty colors off its surface, right after he litters the top of it with them little plastic baggies he gets his medicine in..

HEE HEE HEE! Pretty pretty colors.. come to me.. oh, don't say you don't dig that after-nasal drip EYES! C'mon.. have another hit Bra..

Elvis, the original neck was ruined. That's the Miami Pop Festival guitar Jimi lit up before he did Monterey.. Zappa had a differnt neck put on it which his kid then proceeded to mount an altogether different neck in it's stead.

Dweezil probably has the "second" neck somewhere around which oddly enough I know about something he doesn't.

**The Scatologist** · 02-09-2005, 01:00 AM

Hey Gar do you still build guitars? Are you like really good? If so will you do a job for me?

I'm kinda disappointed in the job that Mitch from Mean Street guitars did on my Unchained Model. Although it's probably because he moved to a place with a totally different climate, so that probably affects it till he gets used to it.

How much would it cost for you to make me a new neck? The one that Mitch made feels nice in your hands but it has a bunch of high frets that needed to be hammered down and it still has some bending problems on the higher frets

**Hardrock69** · 02-09-2005, 10:09 AM

I would LOVE to have an Alpine White Les Paul Custom with an ebony fingerboard and chrome hardware.

I have never owned a real Les Paul.

I currently own the following:

1988 Gibson FLying V w/1 EMG pickup (#1 Guitar)
1985 JB Player Neck-thru-body Strat w/1 EMG pickup (Black - #2 guitar)
1985 JB Player Neck-thru-body Strat (stock shitty single-coil pickups)
1980 Fender Lead 1 w/1 EMG pickup
1980 Fender LEad II w2 EMG single-coils
1998 Epiphone Korina V - stock pickups
1998 Epiphone Korina Explorer - stock pickups
mid-80s Japanese Sigma acousitc (By Martin)
1996 Fender Jazz Bass - stock pickups

Someday I will post a picture of all my axes.
