What’s giving you GAS right now?

[Ron]

I thought I was becoming immune to GAS, but lightning struck me when I started playing some Jimmy Reed shuffles and thought it would be cool to have a Kay Thin Twin. Amazon is selling the Kay reissue K161VBK for $720 shipped (and free return shipping if you don't like it), which was too tempting to pass up. They said 4-5 weeks delivery, but the next day I saw it had been shipped from NJ. If you want to know what a $720 Kay sounds like, check out Greg's Guitars playing one on YouTube. Resistance is futile, good buddy!

There's a ghostly whitewashed pine tele body on Reverb that has been haunting me since Halloween.

Ferrule holes are drilled to 3/8” depth (3/8” diameter smooth ferrules required).We can install the ferrules if you don't feel conf...

It doesn't help that I already have everything else ready to go and just collecting dust here -- wenge/ziricote neck, Wilde Keystone pickups, Rutters bridge, reverse control plate already wired with 4-way switching...

The right lawsuit vintage Japanese G type copy(ies).

I was obsessed with this too about 2 years ago. Get familiar with some of the shops in Japan (I'm sure you are) and you'll find one worth taking the leap. I bought a 79' Burny from TC-Gakki for about $600 shipped. It has a neck repair which is why it was so cheap. Kind of a crazy risk but I rolled the dice because it's a pretty good shop and the shop did the repair. Every once in awhile risk pays off. Japanese folks don't really like player-grade type guitars so if your budget is tight you'll find a better deal than in the states. I did put new pots in it. Kind of a must for Burny's from this era as they used the wrong values from the factory. It's probably the best guitar I own. I was absolutely broke at the time and a stupid decision I will never regret. The early 80s Tokai are worth saving for. I'd sell the Burny for a nice early 80s Tokai in a heartbeat.

Nothing specific right now but I'm keeping an open mind.

 

[Bernardo G.]

Several things, but this Ibanez RG Prestige is talking to me, tempting me, flirting with me, invading my thoughts...



Maybe I can justify buying it under the premise that "it's green and we need to keep our Cristmas spirit alive in these hard times, and green is a Christmas color, sooooo...".

And also this, it seems like a very practical tool for rehearsals and fly gigs:

 

[Beng2040]

I'm really wanting to buy back a 69 Custom Shop Strat that I sold to a friend a couple years ago. He's holding it for me but I want it NOW!

 

[fenderjapan]

Oddly enough, this MIM EVH Wolfgang Special.

 

[blownirocz]

I'm afraid that I have telecaster fever at the moment.

I also have some offset aches and pains.

Exactly the same for me this year. Ended buying an American Original 60's Tele in Fiesta Red and a Relic'd Fano JM6 with P-90's (my avatar). Am totally in love with both at the moment...

EBMM Cutlass -- one of the older, non Reserve Stock models. The roasted necks on the newer models don't do much for me, and the prices are crazy. The older models were perfect.

I love my 2020 Cutlass HSS with the roasted neck - picked it up for like $1900 (demo) on Sweetwater.

I bought a musicman axis 2001 shortly after evh passing and I got hooked. Thing is I never really owned a floyd equipped guitars before and now Im gassing for an axis super sport with the vintage trem.

if we are talking about multiple gas, Im also gassing for a skreddy hybrid fuzz driver and a marshall plexi of some kind.

I was after an Axis before he died but didn't pull the trigger...and then after he died people bought them all up. I actually called MM to see what their plans were for the future. They are waiting until Summer/Fall 2021 to release the new ones - I guess they are releasing some new colors.

Any cheaply priced, physically stable guitar that I like, that “fits” me, that hasn’t died structurally, and that I’m personally capable of improving, fret dressing, set up, electronics, hardware, etc.

I love making what most people consider worthless, junk guitars into good to great players.

Sure it’s time consuming and can be expensive at times, but it’s very rewarding to me.

My playing life is over except for couch playing, but my love for guitars lives on, especially for the ones that most players wouldn’t own, well not until I’m finished with them anyway, LOL.
