Can't do the bass, it's over 3 grand :-(

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-59-Precision-Bass-Relic?sku=515030

So I'll go with a guitar and even though I'm against Gibson because of how they treat private guitar store owners.

But I can't pick this one cause it's over 3 g's too.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to be alone for a little bit.

Friend of mine just got a great deal on a Grosh at the going out of business sale at the local private own store. Amazing guitar.

http://www.groshguitars.com/products/set_neck/sn_limited.htm

That and three Hamers, two double cut-aways and a les paul style. All just amazing pieces of work. Hamers are extremely under rated.

I love the Hamer V's and the little LP Junior type single pickup that they make. Probably underrated more now due to the Korean versions.

I would probably say an original, not reissue, Fender Telecaster Deluxe from the early- to mid-70's:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1976-Fender-Telecaster-Deluxe-Guitar-W-OHSC_W0QQitemZ280233259663QQihZ018QQcategoryZ118985QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

They very literally do not make them like they used to...

If not the Tele Deluxe, then probably a Tokai Love Rock goldtop with P-90's:

I'd prefer an older model than this one, ideally late 70's to early 80's, but at $3k, beggers can't be choosers.

I too dig the Hamer V's. And I'm still considering getting rid of the Reverend for the Hamer version of the LP Junior, older one from the mid 90's. Wrap around tail peice, but fatter neck.

My next guitar purchase (and well under 3K!) will be the 52 Telecaster made famous and perfected by Keith Richards:

I'm having ESP custom make this for me: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pipeddream/1110628340/

since Gibson is anti-left hand! Still waiting on the quote though. Hopefully it won't be $3,000!

both a bit more than 3K, but

Here is what I would choose:

With the other 1500.00, I would buy an amp.

not entirely sure I could get it for 3k but:

- This USA Custom Shop Washburn for $1998.99
http://www.washburn.com/products/electrics/idol/wi580.aspx
http://www.dcmusicstore.com/Washburn-WI580-Guitar
This guitar absolutely surpasses a Gibson Les Paul as far as playability, sound, and build quality.

- Nice, around 3K: http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/images27000-27999/ngb27078-prscustom22nat/index.html

You can talk both of these guitars down in a store to just under $3K (the prices are just over).
- Goodness: http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/images27000-27999/ngb27820-prssc250/index.html
- Another: http://www.sweetwater.com/guitargallery/electric/all/s131362/

- Semi-hollow $1596: http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/images27000-27999/ngb27660-eastmant186mx/index.html

But there's a ton more I'd like to have . . .

Thanks for the link kitfoo.

Don't know what it is, but I am totally intrigued by this Gibson...

http://www.sweetwater.com/guitargallery/electric/all/s009880325

...I love the look and the idea of easily switching Burstbuckers to P-94s

I'd also like one of these (not sure on the cost)...

http://www.gibsoncustom.com/flash/products/signature/townshend/PeteTownshend.html

or on the acoustic side, one of these...

any of these would be fine by me:

Gibson 1960 Les Paul VOS

Gibson B.B. King Lucille

Gibson ES-335

Gibson Les Paul Standard "Blonde Beauty"

Fender '56 Stratocaster NOS

Fender '63 Telecaster NOS

PRS Swamp Ash Special

I forgot to ad this one to my list: http://www.hamerguitars.com/?fa=tallaphotos
You can find these for just under 3K - I love the washed color here best: http://www.hamerguitars.com/img/talla/tal2_lg.jpg
It's not like I don't already own 23 guitars - but who's counting at this point . . .
