I am a creature of opportunity.... So we'll see what pops up.

Currently thinking about either a Charvel So Cal 1 HH in Vintage White, or the new Ibanez RG565, both costing ariund 900 Euros. Leaning towards the former, since the only finish I like on the RG is Fluorescent Orange, and that is too loud, even for me.
Concerning the choice, with some exceptions, I'm now gravitating towards SuperStrats.
Both my Deans are up for sale, since they are my least used guitars, and sale would fund the new guitar and also save some real estate in my house.
Either guitar I buy has already a pickup swap in mind: CC/FSn for the Charvel, and a PATB-3/PA-STK1n for the Ibanez.

My employment status has been somewhat precarious for the last couple of years, but I am hoping that I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel now. Once that happens, I hope to treat myself with a Chubtone custom guitar. It will be close to the single-H Superstrats I already own, but include some features and tweaks that I really miss on the standard Kramers (trembuckers, strat volume knob placement, spoke wheel truss rod, jumbo frets and a few personal preferences for neck and body contour). Not at all necessary, but it will be fun, and I envision it taking the place as my #1.
Oh man, what a trap

I think my next year's resolution guitar-wise is to practice and play more and stop worrying too much about the tone I'm getting. Life's too short, just play. I have 3 Floyd Rose superstrats at the moment (2 x Jackson, 1 x Charvel) with various Duncan pickups into a Maxon OD-9 and a Marshall DSL40CR, it's like I've gone back to my teens I have the guitars I like, the tone I like and I'm having loads of fun. Merry Christmas and a better 2021 to everyone!

2000 dollars! Yesterday I only had 600. You can't get a Suhr for 600, are you kidding me?! Now I am going all out! F everybody.

If you'd told me at this point last year all of the purchases I'd make in 2020 I'd have thought you were full of crap.
I stated before I'm on a one in one out rule so I'm not sure I'd be willing to part with any of the ones I have now. The only thought I've kinda had is I now own 3 of the 4 American Original 60s models so maybe if an opportunity to complete the set came up I'd pick up the AO Jazzmaster.

I really want to build (and by build I mean assembled prefinished components) for my next guitar. I haven’t pulled the trigger on of the parts for my 80’s inspired thought experiment. Warmoth has a couple of ridiculous bodies in the showcase now too...

No plans for a new one in 2021 but it looks like it'll be early 2021 when I finish the Precision Guitar Kits LP Junior DC. I'm looking forward to having that done. Need time to get with the painter that is guiding me through the process. He's in NJ and I'm in TX so he's tutoring me over FB Messenger.

It has been suggested that I should add something with P90s to the arsenal.
So, something with a P90... I'm open to suggestions because I'm certainly not in any hurry.

Considering what I already have, that does seem like the next logical step.

I am still doing a lot around the house. If I can free up some money or get a large sale I would like to do an Iommi Old Boy tribute.
Did you attach that image or link it, and what’s the electronics setup on it?

I want either a double fat Strat or an HH Charvel So Cal. Dark rosewood board, preferably a white body if it’s a Charvel. If it’s a Fender, one of those light blue’s, kinda beat up, with a mint green guard I think. The Fender gets a Wilkinson Trem, the So Cal gets a Floyd, cuz that’s the way they are made.....I don’t really like the way the hardtail looks, though I would actually prefer the So Cal Hardtail.
Candy Apple Red as a runner up on the Fender. I don’t mind putting the Fender together, but I can’t route the body, so it has to be HH or Swimming Pool already. Prefer HSH, but hey. I need to keep my cost down, I can’t spend $1000 on this project. If I go Fender I need to find a decent body for $250 ish and a nice 22 fret neck for $200 or less. I have seen them out there. I found a brand new Fender body on Reverb for $275. H/H. Then I can put my hardware together a little at a time. I have all the Humbuckers in the world.
I know what I can buy the Charvel for, but I really kind of like the idea of assembling my own Strat a bit more. Probably do that with some of my stimulus money.
