What's on Your Gas List?

Re: What's on Your Gas List?

You know, I don't like most Strat bodies. I dunno why either. The RGs from Ibanez and the Jacksons just seem so boring to me. The Sabers are pretty cool, and the JS from Ibanez...I mean, do they look different to anyone else? I'm not sure where it looks different, but it does to me.

:scratchchI'm GASSING for an at least 40' x 60' shop with a dust collection system and a Fadal VMC-4020 CNC milling machine with a 15K RPM head and 4th axis capability. With that I could cut any thing from wood and plastics to aluminum and steel into all sorts of shapes. There would still a lot of things that I would prefer to do using hand tools and hand operated power tools like routers. But I could use the CNC to make the fixtures for using those tools as well as for making other tools, jigs and fixtures for sale and my own use. I would also use it in making some of my metal art work, custom motor cycle parts and.........................? Of coarse a nice CNC lathe to go with it wold be cool.

Wow!

I would be happy with a bandsaw, jointer and thicknesser. I get tired of going to the wood working guild to do the stuff i cant do here.

Are you felling ok bro? Yes they are different, sabres are thin as it gets and radius's are rounded heavily on the edges.

Re: What's on Your Gas List?

I would like to find some sort of wood working guild in my area so I would have access to a table saw and jointer. I have a Table saw but no place to use it. Can't get it in the basement and if I could there wouldn't be enough room for it. Right now to joint things I'm using my table router/work bench with a strait edge attached to the stock. It actually works quite well, better than I thought it would the first time I tried it.

See i have the room but no money for it, I have been considering selling a guitar or two so i can buy more tools/machines/wood. But i don't think i can bring myself to do it.

The guild is good but its mostly retired old men. So as you can imagine it gets a bit hard communicating with them. Also you have to become qualified to use the machines which can be a hassle. Sometimes i think it would be easier to just lose a finger than wait through the demo. Also a email comes through atleast once a month with notification of a member who has died.....:crazy:

I agree on the D15, Pigbacon…. it's a very sweet and affordable little Martin !

I've played a couple, and I think they're a great fit for me. I like the smaller body size, as the larger ones tend to get in my way with the way I hold and play the guitar. Also, it's very punchy and midrange-heavy, which suits the flat-picked, quasi-electric approach I usually take to the acoustic guitar.

Re: What's on Your Gas List?

You know, after trying out, buying, and ultimately selling several guitars of all sorts I kind of realized I chose wisely the first time around when I bought a Stratocaster for my first "nice" guitar. So right now if you were to ask me what guitar I want sitting on my lap, I'd say a really great Strat that sings to me. There's a certain Custom Shop Time Machine I've been dying to lay my hands on for some time, but I'd have to finish selling off most of my gear, and since I just bought a car and I'm in no position to go around throwing money, I guess it's not going to sit on my lap any time soon.

But yeah, that's sort of the ultimate goal. A great Strat or two, a Bluesbreaker and any of the great 40 watt Fenders, volume permitting, and a small assortment of pedals (Fuzzface, MKI Bluesbreaker, a nice Tube Screamer and some nice echo or delay). Oh, and a nice Martin OM. That'd be the life, gear wise, that is. Even better if some guy would drop by my house every now and then and change the strings/check the tubes/keep everything in tip top shape.

Re: What's on Your Gas List?

I have been gassing for another HH Strat and a Mesa Boogie. My thinking is do I need another guitar and I want to find the right Mesa. I think the next gear spend is getting some long overdue work done on my 72 Fender Quad Reverb.

Re: What's on Your Gas List?

The PRS clearance at GC cured my guitar GAS.
The only stuff I still GAS for is the metal boxes with knobs back on page 2 of this thread, as well as high end mic preamps, a couple of Tul mics, a Mojave tube mic, another Stedman N90 mic, a Telefunken M82 mic, a Strymon Big Sky and Strymon Timeline.

And there is less sexy stuff that's still necessary to make music that I have GAS for: a new studio computer. I'm still recording on a Windows XP computer. And a house with space for a fully outfitted studio.

Gotta pay off that GC credit card...

Re: What's on Your Gas List?

No real Gas for new guitars right now ...but if I did have some .. maybe one of these lol..

...or just a nice pointy asymmetrical V of some kind.

Re: What's on Your Gas List?

I'm glad I checked out this thread because getting in with a local Woodworkers' Guild sounds like just what I need. I actually woke up last night and had trouble falling asleep because I was so excited at the prospect of a table saw (but I live in an apartment...) That would make constructing a laminated neck a real possibility (not to mention the entire neck construction process way easier), and that makes me really excited.

Otherwise, I know it's not a guitar, but I would very much like a PRS Archon, but I simply can't afford it anytime soon. My guitar list is long and has a long waiting list for general lack of funds. Building's nice because it's hard to spend too much money too quickly.

...1st timer here, and I am about to pull the trigger on this amp, then I dream of a cool SG like this...
