'76 4003



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

Maybe one day... maybe.

I had the opportunity to buy one of these in the early/mid 90's for $600 Canadian dollars (about $450 US at the time). I turned it down because it had been spray painted white, and I bought an Aria Pro II instead.

I've been kicking myself for years over that total lapse of judgement!

This '59 that was just found in a closet last week

And it gets worse for lefties trying to buy vintage guitars...all the more rare, all the more expensive...
I would love but am resigned to never owning an early/mid sixties custom colour Strat or Tele and probably never owning a similar Jag or Jazzy.

Ehhh....put me in the Rickenbacker 4003 camp...a fireglo one. Since I was a kid, my dream collection consisted of a jetglo 330 and a jetglo 4003, but now that I already have a black one I want something different. Since then I acquired so many different guitars and I still have a couple (Ovation tornado, hagstrom viking) that I don't want to let go of in order to justify it. Part of me thinks that when I move out and inevitably downsize, I might suck it up and sell some guitars and my bass and buy one with some of the money.

Other than that I've already acquired my "out of reach" guitar, the jetglo Rickenbacker 330. Everything else is within reach if I really wanted it, but definitely not justifiable (wouldn't use it enough, and don't have the room or money to own "one of everything") . I don't lust after $5000 vintage or boutique guitars.

GOLDCASTER

Oh and this,

yamaha sg-2c, do they really exist?

also a natural rickenbacker 480 or 481 and the already mentioned travis beans.

I saw one in music ground last week.
Mines probably an early 60's jazzmaster. I played a car 67 jag in vintage and rare last week and that wasn't far from a perfect instrument.

Black RD Artist, rosewood fretboard, NOT gold hardware
Never gonna get one because they probably don't exist.

Pelham Blue would also be awesome but again... probably does not exist.

A red star Trussart

A Rickenbacker 360F Blue Boy

LaBaye 2x4

This $4000 Bourgeois I played today:



Wide-grain Adirondack top & mahogany. Sounded great for everything.

Shit!!! I just want it all, I had a little go of this one last time they were over, so fucking good!

too lazy to gather pics, but these:

64-66 Mustang in white / red tort (maaaaybe some day when I get a decent job again ...)
early 70s Fender Mustang Bass
57-63 Jazzmaster in whatever fancy custom colour
a Telemaster with fat body and cutting sound
Gibson Les Paul Junior (also old, preferrably)
Gretsch White Falcon

I'd say an Antonio de Torres, but that's a bit extreme ... more reasonably, any Manuel Reyes or any good Conde Hermanos is pretty much out of reach ...
A Gibson ES-125TC is borderline ...
