and it's downtown too, I could go pick it up. Crap.

It's 3 pickups and some electronics away from being the Pacocaster.
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Ha ha!! Weren't we going to buy the Deluxe Strats at the same time? I got my 50th anniversary and you're still looking!

    You might as well wait it out.
    The 60th anniversary's are coming out soon! ;)


    Here you go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7382297605&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    I have my eye on this. It was in the "Other similar items for sale" after the $75,000 1955 strat sold! :D

    well, I played about oh 100 or so Deluxes, and I love them. But I'm a sunburst guy, it dosen't get any better than a nitro sunburst. That and the AD's that GC down here had were dark and poorly finished, I just couldn't pull the trigger. I mean it's only been since 2000 that I've been strat hunting.

    My problem is I want a 2500 dollar guitar for about 1200. crap. I know.

    That, and I want to trade my les Paul for a Keef Tele.

    window shopper me. I have to sell so much stuff too lying around.

    speaking of tax time... should I buy a Les Paul, a 335, an SG, a Duesenberg, or another telecaster...

    decisions, decisions...

    If I could find a nice 335 with a big neck and a bigsby for a good price I would have to seriously consider it.

    you're a TELE guy. I'd go with a hollowbody Tele with dual hums and a big neck first. To date I haven't played a 335 with the neck big enough for you, not that they aren't out there, I just haven't met it yet.

    Mark's Guitar Loft has a used '59 dot historic... those have a big neck and a big price tag... once I figure my taxes I might be able to swing it.

    One of the custom shop '52 tele relics would be cool too... they have a big neck on them for sure.

    oooh, 59 dot would be awesome, Imagine a hollow tele with some Fralin steel poles or HD Super 90's, if you got one in the nashville config, with a super 90 in the middle, you could get those single middle P90 Casino tones that are really cool.

    the tele jr does a good job on all these tones... chambered with P-90s... very nice.

    I am thinking I need a humbucker guitar. I would like to enjoy a les paul, but I haven't met the right one yet.

    Music 123 has a 58 plaintop in tobacco burst with the custom authentic aging on it... looks pretty good too.

    nice, didn't you have an R4 at one point?

    I had an R6... I was set to trade the Falcon for an R4 but the other party backed out.

    I did really like the LP Standard I played through my King Royale... very good combination.

    I am thinking about a Duesenberg Starplayer TV, in black... My first name is Dan and it has a D emblem on it in several places...

    Also, it has a P90 neck, HB bridge, bigsby, and is a super high quality instrument...

    At the same time, the Gibson name always carries a lot of weight with me.

    Doosy sounds nice.

    I'm sure you'll get something good, if you buy. You could get something built like you want it too.

    I agree... any good ideas there? for builders?

    or I could find the Ron Wood sig model with a yellow/gold mosaic top.

    Damn that looks nice.

    Well I'll just say this, every time I run into a Suhr like the classic I played today I fall in love.

    John Suhr is awesome, Don Grosh, but if you want an LP, I think the JJ guy might be good to check out, Mike Lull oh and maybe check out Trussart too.

    http://www.groshguitars.com/

    USA custom guitars/Warmoth etc.

    http://www.suhrguitars.com

    there are a few dozen in Texas that are good too I'm sure, Kendrick comes to mind but I haven't had one built from any of them.

    There is a guy in North Carolina that Jason Barker (steelbender.com) used that looks great.

    pick out something nice..http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/showcase.cfm

    trussart would be nice... JJ? I am not familiar with them.

    Grosh and Suhr are very nice... a set neck model from them gets pretty expensive though.

    I talked with the dealer with the Dueseberg... beefy les paul neck... it's stock just went up. $2250 shipped. (stock dipped a little there)

    I should just custom order a Gibson... 355 with chrome hardware and a 345 style fingerboard (rosewood with split parallelogram inlays) and 50s lp style neck, bigsby, with custom authentic aged black finish, cream binding, and an older brown with pink lining case.... I am sure that would be cheap :D

    Trussart Steel Deville.....http://www.jamestrussart.com/

    I am making this my one major guitar purchase of the year too... don't laugh... I am totally serious. So, I am going to do some homework and try to get it right for once.
