That's quite cool. I like the way the stock Jazz Bass knobs look but I would be happy with just a master volume. It's all the functionality I need.

Them thar Imola's are going cheap on 'bay, they have like 57 different settings or something ridiculous. Goddamn tempting at £199 from £375.

Never been excited much by the Imolas.

WHAT? You would'nt JIZZ over this?

The Imola is almost sweet. That f-hole placement fucks up the look of the whole thing for me.

I used to want one of these!

i was round at my friend's house today and his dad wandered out with a 50s gibson super 400 and handed it to me. fucking hell it was amazing. the neck felt like it had been tailored to my hand or something. weird P90 looking pickups with rectangular pole pieces. looked like this one without the horrible guard:



given the prices of these things ($17,500 for that one on the pic) there's ZERO chance i'll ever own one, but christ... it was beautiful.

it's called the "staple" pickup. the 'pole pieces' are alnico magnets that can be adjusted with the adjacent screw. they were also in the neck position on les paul customs.



seymour duncan makes reproductions of them.

You jammy bastard. I'd love to just even hold one of them things...

I've quite fancied a Creston contoured tele for a while. Really nice work, not too cheap though.

where do you find all these incredible small builders??

Maybe I’m not your man after all.

I think this guy just might be my favorite guitar builder ever. the creative approach he takes is exactly what I would do if I were to build guitars.

iv had an on/off relationship with les paul juniors for ages had a few
but iv always moved them on for something i want more
and then regret it after.so i really want one now!
really want a vista series jagmaster
but its hanging on my acoustic geting sorted out

Fair enough, that colour is really supersweet.

I reckon its possible i might own a AVRI Jaguar one day.

With the recent purchase of my Jag, there aren't too many guitars I lust after… but there are still a couple

I'd love to get a Jazzmaster at some point.
I'd like to have a dual humbucker guitar, perhaps something like the:
Godin Montreal

a Gibson 335/355 type instrument (an Epi Dot or Casino would do)

or Gibson SG.
[imghttp://images.miretail.com/products/optionRegular/Gibson/273856jpg.jpg][/img]
Other than filling that dual humbucker niche, I'm not really looking for more guitars.

Basses, on the other hand…
I've been lusting after a Fender VI for almost as long as I've wanted a Jaguar. Phenomenal instrument, with little market :/

The Jaguar Bass is pretty sexy

But I've wanted a Mustang Bass for a rather long time; short scales feel so nice, and one of my main influences plays one and I love the sound.

Getting out of the Fender realm (I love Fender basses far more than their guitars), I'd love a Rickenbacker 4003

and a Gibson Firebird IV

id love a gretsch white falcon but it would have to be off set to justify 2500 + dollars.

The most likely thing in the near future is either a 65RI Mustang or the CV Duo-Sonic, depending on how much money I have to spare with my new job. Bass-wise I'd really like a Mustang or Jaguar bass, although there's some lovely shortscale Hagstroms in a local shop, so that's probably more realistic.

''Creston,
I'm so in love with this guitar. I have nobody to share this excitement
with, other than you, its creator.
Nobody can understand how I feel.
It's amazing.
It feels like sex. That's what this guitar feels like.
The neck feels like a woman's arm.
The [unorthodox guitar wood] beneath my arm feels fantastic. It feels like a tool.
A womanly tool.
A hammer handle dildo.
It sounds perfect.
The volume control, is a personality dial.
The tone control changes the demeanor of the personality.
It's infinite. It can sound like everything from a [jangly hollowbody] on a Byrds
record, to a backwoods cajun fiddler, to a rock wrecking ball.'' -BH
