My all-time favourites - all well out of my reach.
Framus Strato Deluxe:

CBS era Jag prototype:

Vox Starstream:

Yamaha SG-3 - I'm working on a faithful replica of this. The owner of this one took it apart and drew super-accurate tracings of the whole thing for me.

And at the risk of coming across like a self-satisfied knobhead, this one is pretty much my dream guitar:

I have covers drawn up and ready to 3D print at Shapeways (here) but I keep putting it off. Somedays I feel like you about it, some days I can't wait for the challenge... The covers will fit over Jag pickups with the claws hidden inside.hotrodperlmutter wrote:whatcha gonna use for pickups?
I like how the bridge pickup is slanted, because Jags normally have 2 straight pickups.DanHeron wrote: i like how the neck pickup is straight, that's cool.

I've seen that Jag before and I think the slanted pickup is retarded. Visually it doesn't flow like on a strat and musically the way Fender slants pickups never made sense to me. I don't want a treble pickup with even higher trebles and more bass, the other way around always made more sense.
I do like the top binding it looks classy. Somebody on FDP ages ago did a top bound Jazzmaster and it was classy looking.

Since I have completed my first guitar build, I am honestly not sure what I consider my dream guitars anymore.
I will start with the two I already own:
Daphne Blue Baja Telecaster:

AVRI Jaguar:

vintage Cream/Gold Jazzmaster (minus the gold hardware)

Squier Super-Sonic (Blue Sparkle or White) - I will probably build my own soon.


Competition Mustang (stripes going all the way around) - Might build this one too

Coronado II (haven't played one, but still want.)

Fender XII

That will do for now.

Epiphone Coronet

A red bound Fender Esquire

and, a Gretsch Country Gentleman

There is really dozens of guitars i'd love to own, but i suppose these 3 are guitars i'd like to own the most?
on a further note, that Rickenbacker 481 looks rad, i wonder if they ever made them again, neck through of course. if they would sell at all. b/c they look like guitars that would sell rather well.
