    The original Seth Lover-designed Wide Range pickups in the Deluxe Tele were dramatically different than the ones in the re-issues. Different magnet material entirely, way different tone. I'd take an original with original pups in a heartbeat...

    My buddy wants to sell me back my old Fender Telesonic. Wish I had the cash.

    My wishlist right now? A blackface Fender Princeton Reverb, an SG Classic (P-90's), and something with a set of P-Rails pickups. I'd also love a Taylor 314ce. But I think the next purchase is a Martin LX1E (when they're in-stock again).
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    At this point, I've got so much stuff, it's gonna be house cleaning items...

    New strings
    New Picks
    Wireless system (though I don't play many shows, anymore. I'd need two. One for the amp to the board. and another for the board to my guitar.)

    On the guitar side (since you can never have enough guitars)
    Jag-Stang (only for nostalgia)
    Fender Toronado
    Fender Jaguar
    Fender 72 Tele
    Flying V (simply because of the tones that Albert King can produce)
    A FIXED wah pedal. (I've tried replacing the pot..nothing works!)
    Martin of Taylor acoustic electric
    Gibson SG3
    Epiphone Black Beauty
    12 string Bass (thank you, Jeff Ament)

    I'd probably need cases and gig bags for all of those...and stands. Otherwise, I think that's it. Notice I didn't have any pedals? Now THAT is impressive!

    Cherry Red ES-335
    Gibson Les Paul Special (or maybe one of those 50's tribute studios they have out now, might do the trick!)
    Nice Gibson Acoustic of some sort
    Egnater Rebel 30 (I want something with around this kind of power, and the power scaling option seems nice)

    The P-Rails are cool, I have them in my Epi Sheraton, ass kicking guitar.

    Yeah, I'd love a set. I'd been thinking about an SG with them (always wanted an SG with P-90's, why not go one step further?) or maybe something similar to a PRS (maybe a Cort, Schecter, or PRS SE) which would complement all of the pickups' tonal options. But lately, I've been jonesing for a Gibson ES-339 pretty bad... too many choices, not anywhere near enough cash.

    If I had the money I'd try to get an old Fender Esquire, maybe a Gibson SG jr, a decent Fender J-Bass (with block inlays just because I love that), and maybe a Fender Princeton or Deluxe Reverb for the guitars and an Orange AD 200 for the bass. And tons of stompboxes, of course. :D

    My Epi Sheraton was $500 used, then with the pickups and the work to get them installed was about $800, and I now play it over my American Strat most times... If I liked SGs, I would almost say they were the ideal guitar to put the P-Rails in, as you could get Townsend tones, as well as switching up to classic SG tones!

    they sound great. i am a les paul guy, but i have played a few of these and really like the dirtyish clean tone they can get out of a marshall. as an example of what these can do i attached a few videos of evan dando playing his 72 tele deluxe...i just love that crunchy clean tone he gets when playing by himself....
