Guitars out of reach

[ultratwin]

So the mildly revealing Dream Guitar thread came and went last March, but we must admit that dreams sometime come true. Now for the definitive depressing shortscale.org thread for venting your grief over those guitars that you want and will likely never have. Ever. (ㅠ_ㅠ)


Gretsch White Penguin w/dynasonics: $3000+






Yamaha SG 1802 Goldtop: £2500






Rickenbacker 4005WB: $$$






Gibson Dove RI: $3200

Not crazily expensive, but just not sure how I'd swing it - an Acoustic Black Widow:

[Gabriel]

If I had endless amounts of money I'd buy these guitars.

They're are all from vintage and rare:

54' Gibson ES175



60' Gibson ES345



52' Fender Tele



59' Fender Jazzmaster



63' Sonic Blue Fender Stratocaster

[ohyeahfuzzbear]

Extremely obvious one but...

'76 4003



Seems even more out of reach at the moment considering my teenage income.

Maybe one day... maybe.

[Haze]

THIS is my obsession

► Show Spoiler

Blackguard Sunburst, B&B Jazzmaster


Starcaster, not to play, i just think they are beautiful guitars!

[Gabriel]

Oh I totally forgot about the starcaster

[Haze]

I could probably swing a Jazzmaster like that one day, but i think i'll have the GTR over a $5000 Guitar

[Will]

Nothing that's TOO far out of reach.

I quite like these XXL Danelectro models:

$2300-ish depending on how custom you go.

and also the Gibson LG2 3/4 size:

for $2000

So basically just super-fancy versions of what I already have.

A sixties daphne blue Musicmaster.

And a travis bean TB-500.

[dub]

oh yes. a curse on the house of beards:


Travis Bean Artist

hero worship:


Jaydee Iommi SG

I also dig the mid 70's Gibson SGs with the small block inlays other people seem to hate. I'd love a Maple Necked Vintage Fender Mustang...

this one is actually acquirable, the only thing I'd change about my black Yamaha SG2000 is the finish, although I like it plenty.
or maybe even a custom tea/lemon burst or something, hmm




I also have this really perverse desire for a PRS Custom 24.
But with a firetruck red paint job and black hardware...

[hotrodperlmutter]

mine would either be the tb-500 or a martin d-15 in honduran mahogany. or a '62 sunburst strat. or the english gentleman.

[endsjustifymeans]

egc jazzy.

[DanHeron]

An old Martin 0-15. This one is a '53 and is £2,250. Anything of that age or earlier please.


I also love guitars like the Guild Starfire III. Old single cut-away jazz style but with thin bodies.


I would love a few vintage fenders but besides strats and teles I wouldn't say they are completely out of reach (in the future I mean, can't afford one now with no bloody job).

[DICHOTOMY]

GRETSCH RANCHER FALCON

[Billy3000]

My dream guitar is still the same. An Ice blue Metallic AVRI Jazzmaster, or the Daphne Blue thin skin. It's out of reach for me because I am so very very poor right now! Also it's very hard to find an Ice Blue Metallic AVRI. I am considering selling off a bunch of my guitars that I don't really play as much anymore to buy a Jazzmaster though.

D'Angelico New Yorker. Gorgeous.

D'Angelico New Yorker. Gorgeous.

My drummer has an old D'angelico acoustic. Great sounding and beautiful guitar!
