Guitars you aspire to own...

Re: Guitars you aspire to own...

I haven't really been looking. I just pick it up when I see it and it screams at me. In about March or April I got a used Hamer hollowbody for like $100 bucks, and it plays just as well as any of my Gibsons. I've got the Les Pauls, I've got the SG's, I've got the Explorers, and the V's, and the 335's. I'm planning on buying a new trombone before I get a new guitar.

A 12 string Paul would be cool. Gibson has only made like two that I know of though.

Yeah, sure. Thats one of the most ludicrous things Ive heard here.
Sometimes I gotta remind myself that this is the interent, and on the internet, 100 dollar junk guitars can play as good as 3 thousand dollar Gibsons.
Keep on believin' brother, and morover, keep on dreamin'.

Four more I wanna add:

4.) A custom-made (Warmoth) Thinline Tele, mahogany body, mahogany neck, Rosewood board. Featuring SD A2Ps, Seth Lovers, or '59s
3.) Carvin ST300 w/Active HBs and a Floyd in all black (METAL!!!)
2.) a Transluscent blue Gibson Les Paul
1.) Taylor's 8-String Baritone Acoustic

USA Hamers (which CAN be found at yardsales for 100$, surprisingly often I might add) can and will play rings around non-CS Gibsons 6 days out of 7. I love my Gibsons, too, but that doesn´t give me the right to ignore reality and start living under the bridge

+1. For whatever reason, USA Hamers are ridiculously cheap on the used market. Probably a big reason why Hamer closed its doors.

Here's some of mine...

Re: Guitars you aspire to own...

I don't need anything at all. I have a couple of nice Strats, a couple of nice Teles, and a great ES-335.

Got a National Tricone, a Taylor 512 and a Taylor 710B.

But I'd still like to have a magical sounding PRS something or other! Maybe a singlecut, maybe a McCarty, maybe a Custom 22.

Cherry sunburst with a nice top. Doesn't have to be an expensive one or super gorgeous one...just a great sounding one.

A Gibson... LOL

Started playing at the end of 1975. Owned various Fenders, an Aria, a Jackson, a Martin and finally a PRS about 10 days ago. Never a Gibson. I've got a Gibson pickup but that doesn't count.

I'm not even sure it's a USA made Hamer. It's a maple body with Duncan Designed HB-103's, but once I got a new nut and a set of Grover tuners on it, it started to play so amazingly well. I was blown away.

My list is starting to come down nicely.

Next on the list :

DO IT! I just put the SD mini-HB in the neck position on my American Standard Tele and it's hands down the best Tele neck pickup there is (and I've been through many). I like the mini HB better than the full size '59's that I have in my other Teles.

Man, there's so many. I'll narrow it down to three that have consistently come up over the years;

Ibanez JS6.
'52 RI Hot Rod Tele
Music Man Albert Lee HH

One of each.
