Anti-GAS - Guitars That Make You Go Ooooh!

[Ian Price]

Trussarts for me. I did think about PRS for a while but I'm not too sure to be honest. Tried a 513 out last night and was unimpressed, I felt much more at home on a strat that cost about a third as much.

The Daemoness threads here and at ss.org - especially the inlay work.

For the Trussart fans - I love this:

Are you going to buy it Dave?

It's nice but I prefer their Teles.

[Twinfan]

No chance - no cash  :(

[Transcend]

Pretty much any flying V that isnt pointy or oddly balanced really makes me want to get the credit cards out

also some of the esp eclipses too

Yeah - I know how that feels!

I have just sold a Zvex pedal though (and made £40 on the deal). Money used to get those BG Flat 50s!

A nice Eastman ( single neck pickup type )  Archtop  would get my vote;  perhaps a nice 803, 805 or 905 , with a B.K.P Manhattan / rewind in the neck e.t.c

However

I can safely say that ( believe it or not folks )  my upgraded 'Vintage'  VS575 + Bkp Manhattans has long continued to keep me very happy.   I do have in reserve , my Ibanez AF75 with B.K.P. AII Stormy Mondays - for a nice contrast / back up, if ever needed .   As a result, the above mentioned Eastmans would  just be 'Guitar Porn' for me - as opposed to making me actually want / need to buy anything more.   The eventual  realisation dawned , that what I really needed and now greatly enjoy, is " Time on the instrument" - not more instruments.  

In fairness,  I did have my last 'gasp' of G.A.S compiling a 'dream' amp head / cab rig  this last year - and a consolidating a couple of nice compact 'carry on the bus, in a padded shoulder bag '  surrogates.

It is now my ambition to become a musician ...  :lol:

... nope.  Still barely even a semi.

Am I guitar-impotent?

No, still a testosterone fueled, valve melting  Rocker ...  8)

Don't let quiet middle aged tastes creep over you any faster than they absolutely must .

Stop thinking about new guitars for a while and start buying amps and pedals instead  :D

EDIT: The Manson Matt Bellamy guitar or another guitar with a Kaoss pad. Seems like a great toy.

I am gently planning a Mk II Telemaster project so rather than a specific guitar I'm more in the mode of looking at parts online and plotting.  Klusons? Yum.  Nitro maple necks with a soft V, 9.5" radius board and biggish frets? Yum.  etc. etc.  If someone wants to give me a Trussart Tele, a Gretsch Billy-Bo and 1962 Olympic White Fender Strat I won't say no though. :)
