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 ...
 
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...
 
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
 
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.
 
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.
 
I may end up buying one of these before the end of the year. If not, early next year.

Ibanez RG550
ESP LTD Arctic M
ESP LTD Viper-1000
Epiphone Les Paul Custom Koa
Epiphone 61 SG in Pelham Blue
Gibson SG Tribute

How about an Epi Korina Explorer?
When I look around my music room, I can't really justify to myself the want for anything more. Unless it were some sort of Alex Lifeson 335.
 
Been playing with the Kiesel builder on a new Delos. Alder body, maple neck thin profile, 14 radius, med Jumbo Stainless, Ghoto trem ect. Coming in with the harshell at about $1750 or so with all my options. These are monsters and IMO are a better guitar than the Suhr or Fender US Custom shop equivalents at a WHOLE LOT less $!

I'm not an Explorer guy....but now that you mention it; Dean Z Tomikazi!

I can't "justify" anything either. Doesn't mean I don't want them.
