The "My Next Guitar" Thread - late 2021 edition

[zizyphus]

Hey all

Someone did a thread like this at the end of 2020 about what everyone wanted Santa to bring them / what they would snag in 2021

I know its a bit early, but what are we all dreaming about for our next axe, either in the upcoming holidays or next year?

For me, I'm looking for a humbucker-equipped semihollow. Rather than going the classic 335 route, I was considering doing something like an Epiphone Sheraton in a natural finish. I'd swap out the pups, and have plenty of nice sets laying around waiting for a home. What about the rest of you?

I have exactly the same thing on my list. I initially wanted some "classic" design, but I was told here in another thread to check out the PRS SE Hollowbody and I find myself going back to the product page of that guitar quite often. Especially the one in Fire Red Burst ...

[eclecticsynergy]

My next might be a specialty once-in-a-while instrument - electric 12-string or even a sitar guitar.
I've wanted both of those for many years; never bought either one because they're tones I wouldn't use often.

Then again, I wouldn't mind having a vintage semihollow. A close friend just bought a '68 ES-345 and it's really nice.
My problem with a guitar like that is the T-tops. Not my favorite humbuckers, by a long shot.
And with a vintage axe I wouldn't want to swap them out. They did sound decent in a very mellow old guitar though.

I like this, but a Sheraton is basically a 335, no?

I bought too many guitars this year... stop.

But, wait, I would not be against a semi-hollow myself...

Acoustic-Electric 12 string (Taylor), and a David Grissom PRS, the 12 string is within reach, the PRS, we'll see...

I want an old US CE 22 or CE24 with a trem.

[The Guitar]

I want to make my own 7 string, but otherwise any old 80s/ 90s double locking cheapo that would catch my eye.

[JB_From_Hell]

I got a '99 CE24 earlier this year. You should totally get one.

I'm looking for the right one. I want a flamey top, natural "binding", and the 5 way rotary switch with original PRS pickups.

[Aceman]

There are so few on my list anymore...

An Ibanez PS120
A Dean Hardtail in Blue Flame
Maybe an Epiphone Shraton, or a Gibson classic red 335
A BC Rich Ironbird or Warlock...but a neck thru one
A Korina V - Epiphone
Steinberger / Spirit Bass
Yamaha RGX-A2 in white

Okay....since this list isn't stopping, maybe I do have a few

[Lucius Paisley]

I bought an offset body a month ago to start work on a partscaster, I just need all the other parts. ALL of them. I only have the body.

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

I bought all the guitars I need for the year already, or I'll be in trouble.


but I'd still like another Bich. . . Or maybe another Paul

[RB522]

I pretty much have what I want. If however, Santa were to press the issue, the new headless Ibanez looks interesting. So does the 7 string Iceman.

[Bogner]

Dean from Hell - limited run signed by Dime.

[Mincer]

I'd love to get an Emerald acoustic.
