Yngwie says "How can less be more? More is more!!"

I'd never normally side with the Swedish widdler, but he's right when it comes to owning guitars.

I've currently got...
Les Paul
Flying Vee
'72 Tele Custom.

I want...
Les Paul Custom (Pelham Blue)
Les Paul Junior (Sunburst)
SG Junior (Cherry)
Goldtop (R8)
Black Beauty (P90s)
Ricky 360 (Jetglo)
Billy-Bo (white)
Gretsch Sparkle Jet (red)
non-reverse Firebird (off-white)
CS Esquire (blue, like Dave's old one)
LSL DC Junior (white)

... just off the top of my head like   :lol:

Next year 'should' see my collection grow once some debts are paid off.




Time to post my GAS list...
They're less expensive guitars (apart from a few) but there are more of them and they'll all be loaded with BKPs or TV Jones Pickups.

What I have:
Gibson Les Paul Studio
Fender American Strat
Fender American Tele

GAS List:

Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster Spalted Maple HH

Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet with Bigsby

Gretsch Power Jet Firebird

Fender Classic Player Baja Telecaster

Fender 60th Anniversary Cabronita Telecaster

Gibson Flying V Standard

Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH

Gibson Les Paul Jr

Fender Classic Player 50s Strat

Fender Road Worn 60s Strat

PRS SE Bernie Marsden

PRS SE Dave Navarro

Caparison Dellinger C2

I'm also hoping for a Feline Lion Supreme because after seeing numerous pics and clips of it and the specs I'm convinced that it is my dream guitar :D

Also hoping to begin building more guitars on my own... I rarely find the time and the ones I have built have been for my family...

Gibson Les Pauls are my favourite guitars but I don't have any on the list because
1) They have 300k volume pots and pcbs and I don't want to deal with replace them.
2) Im very happy with my current les paul.







Well... I'm no mathematician but that list seems to have beat yours... Huh :D

On the "less is more" point, I know you're right.... but it's so difficult to get rid of stuff.  :|

I'll take one of those DC Les Paul Juniors you've got stashed under the bed .. unless it's been kept next to the potty  :lol:

No potty - I'm good at making my way to the bathroom and back, even half-asleep.

And I've only got one DC Les Paul Junior now.  Unless you fancy an old Gordon-Smith GS1?
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

I'm not posting what I'm gassing for until I've won the auction ;)

Ah, but there are so many different PRS models, seems a shame to get the same one again...  :wink:

true...
but ruling out the hardtails & wacky pickup equipped models, it doesn't leave THAT much in my price range.
I might even rule out models with blade switches, and after that ones with overtly quilted tops etc.

The latter I think.

Can't please everyone - I don't like most PRS' myself, the Santana is the exception along with the Mira.

Yeah, fair enough.  I'm not fond of the Santana myself, but I've grown to like most other PRS models - although I am wary of the odd-shaped pickups on certain models, I prefer to stick with regular humbuckers!

Long time by your standards! I've not bought anything since your SGR either (though an epiphone riviera did accidentally turn up and my bank balance took a hit - not my fault!) and I'm having a similar sort of feeling about that. They say true love grows over time - certainly true with guitars.

Don't agree with your preferences in instruments at all but it is certainly a nice feeling to find something you just keep finding more and more from, whatevrr that happens to be for you.
