Title: Dream Guitars.
Post by: schmendict on October 19, 2005, 05:35:00 PM
The title is self-explanatory, mine would be some kind of American Dean or something....with gold plated Nailbombs, with gold anything that could be gold, and gold hardware, solid gold....
Hehe, this should be good!

The list keeps changing for me. But here it goes.

Gretsch 6120 (jr)
BC Rich Mockingbird arch top supreme (and/or '70's koa mockingbird)
Custom built Explorer, black korina, trans black paint, gold hardware and a Bigsby.
James Trussart rusty Steelcaster
Dean '79 series Z in classic black
Bulls Eye Les Paul
Duesenberg Rocket with Bigsby

All BKP'd off course. (Maybe except for the Gretsch)

Ask again in a couple of months, some will still be in the list, some will be replaced by others.

Probably a Jackson Stars NAST or RR guitar would be my dream guitar. Cheaper than an American Jackson too.

A rebuild/replica of my current guitar. It'd be called 'The Hammer' (painted on the headstock) and it would have a H/S/H configuration, (2 Mules and an Apache). It'd be mahogany and have a quilted blue finish with a rosewood fretboard. It'd also have West Ham inlays on the frets :wink:.

...and it sounded so good up til then  :P
I'd have an Alembic Triple Omega - but altered to be a guitar rather than a bass. It'd all be carved out of one piece of black korina, it'd be neck-through, and it'd have a tune-a-matic bridge. No finish on it, other than a very thin very basic oil finish, or maybe super thin nitro one. I think it'd have mules in it.  8)

I pretty much have mine (it's in my avatar). I have a Zion Strat-style guitar with a quilt top and hardtail bridge. The neck is custom-made for my hands and it looks and sounds awsome. The neck and middle pups give me a genuine vintage Strat vibe and the Sinner in the bridge makes this guitar pretty versatile.

Now if only it could have a Floyd Rose trem at the same time, plus a couple of Mules as well as the single coils and it would be the perfect guitar.

At the moment I like the idea of a Warmoth 7 String Baritone, although I won't bore you with the rest of the list...

Mine would be and hopefully will be (as Im part-way building it at the mo...)  a satin black Jem body,  black cosmo (although I have just got a cheap chrome edge lo-pro and gotoh tuners) lo-pro 2 bridge with black stienberg gearless tuners,  slightly different shape headstock with black quilt maple top, ebony fretboard(no markers/inlay), birdseye wizard neck.  And so far as PU's I cant decide between a warpid style or PAF pro style PU's which I hope to wind myself as well as a home-built sustainer.  and PRS 513 style wiring but I can't get anyone to do me plans  :cry:

haha I'm exactly the same. What I'd really like is a Tokai LP with some other BKPs in it. Or just enough money to do up my old strat to some kinda of beast  :D

I already have mine -- see my avatar. It's a custom Artist built by Károly Filep, equipped with a set of camo Mules. :twisted:

hmmm... i can't choose just one, since my list is so long, but it'd be an SG, that's for sure.

My tele is pretty much it, although I still plan to experiment with a different body. Possibly a chambered mahogony one to sort of bridge the final gap between telecaster and LP junior. But the neck, hardwear and pups I wouldn't change, except maybe the saddles.

As for specific guitars, there was a strat which I've mentioned before, if I found that I'd buy it and give it the treatment. Maybe Jimmy Page's 58 tele... but word around the campfire is that the body was wrecked and the neck is on the brown bomber.  :?

Guitars I'd love to get my grubby little mitt's on:
(in no particular order)

Gibson Les Paul Custom
PRS Singlecut (black burst or some nice dark brown finish)
Ibanez IC400 Iceman from the late 70's (nice chunky neck & maple top, oh and a cool shape!)  :wink:
Rickenbacker 4001 (70's jetglo of course, unless I find a chequer board bound one)
Rickenbacker 481
MusicMan StingRay (pre EB)
BC Rich Bich (any through neck, but a 70's one with all the electronics'd be cool)

That's all I can think of (for now!  :wink: )
