Dream Guitar

Novawind

OK... everybody's got one. What are you currently itching for?

Here's the Strat I'd like- a little photoshopping and it has the right pickguard:



American Standard Strat in Charcoal Frost, SCN pickups, chrome hardware, black knobs/caps/pup covers, black pearloid pickguard, maple neck.

I've really been in love with the single-cut 245's lately:

or any of these would be nice:

HAha, I think I've said this in here before but,


I'd like the SG Lespaul and the Black Beauty.

Maybe a Gilmour-esque strat would look nicer in black:

Me, I'd love a Gretch Silver Jet with DynaSonics.

Pretty hard to choose, there's a few i wouldn't say no too, but way up the top of my lust list is a LP 1998 monster top R9, and i have lusted after her for a long long time.

I blame lucylespian. God she is beautiful.

I to dig White Falcons a lot, the issue I have it would be the only guitar or bass that I'd own that I'd be afraid to scratch. Not sure I can handle that pressure.

I think I would snuggle with this one. I've been obsessed over this guy for a long time.

BEAUTIFUL . . .
Yeah, you can add that one to my list too (even though a already own a few nice Les Pauls).
The SC-245 on my list is quite similar to that LP in many ways (& I bet the 245 plays better).
I'm guessing I want one because I don't have an SC, & want to round out my little gathering.

Gibson L5-CES

Gretsch is soon to bring out a Chris Cheney White Falcon Sig guitar. The first signiture guitar for any Australian built by Gretsch. While i can't find pictures to back it up, mods include TV Jones Pickups and ebony-based Adjusto-Matic bridge, Deluxe Sperzel Locking Tuners (or so it says in this months rolling stone). While i don't think the living end is a great band personally, i've seen them live a couple of times and they put on an absolutely awesome show - and cheney's playing live is exceptional.

I am responsible, I admit it !!

Actually, I've not mentioned this before, but Lola was PLEKed and set-up by Charlie Charndler in London, who does David Gilmour's guitars, so she plays like butter. The guy I bought her from is a fire-fighter there, and spared no expense in getting her set up perfectly.
I did pay quite a lot for her too, as she is a superior guitar in every way.

Word on the street is that it's not officially out till august sometime.
I was reading about this the other day. It sounds magnificent. And i agree, Cheney is awesome.

It was love at first sight for me. Like i have already said, that is my dream guitar, it's just beautiful. It's good to see you really appreciate her lucy, and you play her. So awesome.

Interesting auctions. I'm not sure how the seller of the first one manged to get 23 years as the age og the wood. My math makes 1995 - 2008 13 years. Nice top though. I would probably call Vic Da Pra and buy a 2007 one first though. They had some mighty tops last year, and great tones.
The other one looks like an honest auction. The market is sftening a lot on these things, though premium tops will always bring a higher price.

I want a rickenbacker bass:

Thunderbirds are definitely cool basses. Good choice.

Forgot to add this baby to my list:

If we are talking Bass, then it's a Non Reverse Thunderbird.
