Guitars you're fancying, but can't or won't get?.

[pepedede]

I very often go through cravings for a certain different guitar that I see. I am perfectly set and happy with what I have, but no harm in looking.

Lately a couple.

Kauer super chief. Looks fantastic, but no bigsby for me.


Jackson RR24. Ditto, looks fantastic, but no floyd for me.

 

[Tim Plains]

Bartlett Retrospect. I've wanted one for a long time but can't bring myself to get one because of the exchange rate.

 

[dannyboy2.0]

Charvel DK22 SSS... Have three sitting in eBay Watch list but no trigger being pulled. Still sore I didnt snag the Tokai LP I saw last month either. I must have Trigger-itis

 

[Leveraged Sellout]

Jackson Y2KV played by Dave Mustaine himself

 

[AcceptableNorm]

Explorer Custom.
I won't be getting it becuase I can't afford a $4,700 guitar.

 

[Jazzandmore]

Outside of not being able to afford it, if I "fancy it" then I'm going to get it.

Oh I thought you were in Canada. Isn't Tom a Canadian builder?

 

[bdm]

It’s on the emporium right now.

That would fall under can't then.

 

[RhytmEarl]

I want a PRS that sounds as good as it looks.

I've owned 3 so far. Sold them all.

And I want a Korina Explorer.

 

[Jazzandmore]

True. Guess what I should have said is, if I can't afford it, then I stop fancying it.

i have been trying to find a telecaster for weeks without luck
i want a lp junior, but if i can't crank it, whats the point?
i see lovely "unique" guitars fairly often and get a random urge, but i never pull the trigger
i'm moving back overseas and will only take one electric (the rest into storage) so i should just relax
i need that tele to take w me though!

I would never have thought there would be a telecaster shortage. Is it a specific one you're after?.

 

[jogogonne]

For me, there's guitars I can technically 'afford' but I don't think what it will bring will be worth the money. Mom raised a cheapskate.

That said, for me it would be a PRS 10 Top McCarty. Love those guitars. It is within the realm of possibility to own one, one day.

The other guitar would actually be 'some jazz box' that costs upward of 6 to 10 thousand dollars. I won't get something like that until I reach the level of a good jazz pro player ... and that won't happen in this lifetime, so ... looks like I'm not getting one.

no! just a totally reasonable set of preferences...see my WTB ad!

He has certain expectations. I've offered a couple of mine.

For me, a Duesey Joe Walsh. I know I'd be selling it

 

[screamtone]

Duesenberg - Never played one, but I've always been interested. As has been discussed here many times, the value vs. price ratio seems askew on these.

ES-175 - What would I do with one, really?

50's Gretsch 6119 - I almost pulled the trigger on a player grade specimen a few months back with the intent of adding a neck pickup. Glad I stopped myself.

I wish Reverb kept a archive of my saved searches that I eventually deleted from my feed so I could answer this question more accurately.

 

[Driver 8]

PRS CU22 natural trem WF. None of you hoarders will let go of yours. Take my money.

Parker Fly Supreme (Flamed Maple body) and Artist (Sitka Spruce body). I love those guitars. I love everything about them. But, they cost a fortune when they come up for sale, and they cost a fortune when they were still in production, too.

I’d like a PRS CE22, but with the 24.5” scale length of the Santana III, and the piezo system of the P22T, and a plain mahogany body. The pickups should be Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers, wired in parallel, with three-way switching. I wonder how much money I’d have to give Paul to convince him to make it for me?

 

[Strife_D]

I would love to get a Pelham Blue - SG, and an ES-135, but I already got 8 guitars... so...
