Your dream guitar

I'm fairly new on here, please forgive me if this has been posted here before! I loved reading the guitars owned thread and wondered what everyone's dream guitar would be?

I have about ten dream guitars. There's no one guitar that I could have that I wouldn't want more.

Having said that, if there was an impossible guitar that I'd like to own, it'd be a vintage ES-335, from the first year of production. Guitarist magazine reviewed one to compare it to the modern ones and it sounded great (in words, I didn't hear samples).

Skinnier neck than normal Gibson, lighter sound too. Sounds perfect.

Yeah, one of those. Sixties 335 with narrow neck. Can't afford one, and if I could I'd be shit scared about playing out with it.

Lefty version of the Shadstang. It exists. Somewhere.

Nah, I'd play it. I'd play it hard too. Obviously I wouldn't go hitting it with drumsticks or anything, but I wouldn't be put off by the price.

since I started playing guitar all I wanted was a mustang.... I got that guitar so I guess the only thing I would want more is maybe a vintage mustang?
*flameshield*
or (yes I know most people on here don't like the idea of it) a mustang with a custom greenburst finish, with a black PG

They did a video comparison, did you not get the CD?

I'm a lazy useless shite though, who is too useless to be organsed enough to get the most out of even the simplest things in life, like a fucking cd.

I saw this cheesy Johnny Cash show from 1969 that featured Carl Perkins (Blue Suede Shoes) playing this black Starcaster with cream P90s and pickguard. O.M.F.G! It was kinda fun to watch. Eric Clapton was young and downright reverential talking to Cash. Those country stars could NOT find good toupees though. He looks all Planet of the Apes.

I've all the guitars I want at the moment (and more than I'll ever need), yet there are a few rare basses I'd love to get my hands on and play, even if just for a day of tracking/jamming:

Takamine B10

Yairi YB-13E Rosewood top

Jerzy Drozd Prodigy Limited Edition

I already have one of them:

She's one I dreamt up when I was a tike. It's the same colour as my blanky and my favourite gee-tar. Couldn't have asked for more really. Maybe one of these...

Are you sure that's not a Micro Frets guitar on the left?

At this point my dream is a good condition vintage tele bass, an old gibson ripper/grabber for a good price, or a vintage gibson eb3.
