Re: If you had a million dollars....

1. I use $560 of it to build another Gibson Flying w/ P-90 Project.

2. $300,000 to buy a house.

3. Put the rest in the bank.
 
Re: If you had a million dollars....

Guitar wise.... I would get the PRS private stock department to make me a guitar based on the CE24 maple top.

I would also get a Hiwatt amp, and an amazing PA system to run my mesa through.

Besides that, I don't see what else I would get guitar wise. I think I would deck my bandmates out pretty well though. My brother who plays keys would get a grand piano for sure. Bass_Bear would get a Fodera of his choice, along with a Mesa Big Block Titan V12 and 8x10 cab.
 
Re: If you had a million dollars....

A million on music gear only?

I'd start with a 59 and a 60 Les Paul, Lookin at $200K for nice players
52 Fender Telecaster Beat to hell $20K
Pre-War Martin D-45 Most likely $150K
Pre War Martin D-28 Around $25K
Gibson Loyd Loar F-5 $75K
20 New Les Paul Standards various colors $60K
5 New Les Paul Customs various colors $20K
5 Marshall DSL full stacks $10K
5 Marshall JCM900 full stacks $10K
5 Marshall JCM800 full stacks $15K
5 Marshall JMP full stacks $20K
5 Marshall Silver Jubilee full stacks $25K

If I added that right, should be around $630K. I guess I would spend the rest on every vintage and boutique pedal I could find......................

I thought you were saying how would you spend a million on music gear only.

If I had a million and could spend it on whatever, I would just end up with around 5 more used LP's, a set of cabs for a full stack and one each of the Marshall heads I listed. Probablly buy a used D-42 and a newer used HD-28LSV and a cheaper beater tele. Well under $25K for everything.

I'd then buy some property on a year round flowing spring fed creek close enough to the source for a water supply. I'd build a small concrete dam with a small turbine capable of producing my electricity, build a quanset style underground house, nothing too big and invest in geothermal heating. No bills what-so-ever other than luxury stuff, like sattelite and internet and phone. I could do all that for less than $200K with at least 100 acres.

The rest? I would keep $250K in an account hat acrues interest and the rest I would use to invest in gold and silver since our currency is becoming more worthless by the day...................... but that's just me............

Actually I was thinking more about taking a million dollars and turning it into Warmoth bodies and Les Paul copies.............. You need to find a career as a CEO....... hahahahaha
 
Re: If you had a million dollars....

hey man, why not? i seriously find all the guitars i mentioned alot easier to play than les pauls(mostly in high fret access), and have very similar tone(the les paul copies i mean, not the warmoths). plus, they look different! i like les pauls and all, but i can't stand seeing them so often, they're so generic these days;)
 
Re: If you had a million dollars....

A couple of Brian Moore Guitars custom shop 7 strings
A couple of Jackson Guitars custom shop 7 strings.
Don't really have a use for a whole lot of guitars to be honest.
I'd spent much more on the rig side of things and a serious recording setup.
You gotta keep a few hundred bucks left over for spare strings too;)
