What do you need to 'complete' your collection

Rocker

As in, perhaps you have a Tele, Strat and LP.  To cover all bases or imagined ones, what is missing from your stable.

Mine is:

* A Ricky or clone

* A 12 String (could be the Ricky)

* A Yellow guitar.  Someone posted a picture of a yellow guitar recently.  I did not like the headstock but the colour was perfect.  Gotta get a 'yellow' one somewhere.

* A Self Built guitar.  This might be my opening for a yellow guitar or build something way off the planet.  You never know.

* A Gibson L5 clone.  I played a beaten up one several years ago and the "rounded" tone was simply amazing.  Not all that common so I am searching.  And hoping.

* A 'good' medium power head and cabinet.  I have been thinking about Orange in recent months.  I have had nothing but good experiences with Orange kit, to my eyes the look says that you mean business!!  Good a reason as any I suppose. My choice must play clean (as well as gritty) at reasonable volume.  I would love an Orange 4 * 12" cabinet but this would be difficult as my music room is not very large.  And it is already fairly full.....

So what do you need to complete your collection......

I would like a telecaster variant. White one with rosswood fretboard would be preferred.

samzadgan

the next thing i want is a esquire type tele - maple board

after that probably a Telemaster with 1 P90 - maple board

Then a Tele with wide range humbuckers - rosewood board

then i'm back to gibsons...V, Explorer, RD and a few more LPC's (white and some kind of burst)

probably a tobacco burst Yamaha SG in there somewhere too.

then i'm done.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha etc etc

I find a new cheap collection to start on every eeek!

A resonator and a 12 string acoustic.

I've got a Les Paul, a Jnr, a Strat, a Tele and a Floyd loaded Super Strat...so next are:

ES Les Paul with Bigsby

ES335

Up until the show last weekend I would have had a PRS on that list, but after playing a load on the stand at the show they really didn't do anything for me, so that's killed my desire for those.

when Im bored on the train I write these lists to myself all the time, the last one reads

A Strat (prob an American Special)

A R8

A Gibson 335 or similar

A Feline Lion

A Sigma electro acoustic

A Fender Electric VII or a very good replica

But then if I get gigging again I'll probably buy an affordable back up guitar to whatever I use as my main axe, so that complicates it again

The only variation on the electric guitar I've never owned is one with P-90's.  I've either had or currently own pretty much everything else(including nylon string, steel string and 12 string acoustic guitars).  One day.

Something that does a full, mellow clean tone.

Something that sounds crisp, thick and tight played at high gain levels.

Something with a whammy bar that'll take major abuse and still come up smiling.

Problem is I'm a 'less is more' sort of bloke so I have no idea if I'd pack all that into one instrument.

You've just described my PRS CU24 Floyd to me, back off the gain & it cleans up nicely

Humbuckers: Check- Les Paul
P90: Check: SG Jr. (@Rocker a yellow one!)
Single Coils: Check: telecaster
Bass: Check: BassVI
Nice acoustic: Check: Parlour sized 12 string electro acoustic.

I'm done. i hanker after a "real" Gibson jr rather than the copy I have, but overall I'd say I've got it all covered.

McToot

Tele/homebuild - yup
Strat type - yup (lush)
LP - yup
Firebird - yup
SG - yup - Gibbo and Yammie variations (one P90s and the other Buckers)

So, I must have:

Semi
Vee
Ricky
PRS, but I'll wait until I re-train as a dentist for that

Re the above, here's the family shot - taken today.

 

equalsql

Baritone acoustic,

Acoustic bass guitar

Precision bass
Electric lap steel

And finally a silver-face deluxe reverb or a 6G16 Vibroverb  clone.

I need the kit shiny of Blackburn Rovers and Paul Dickov

mike_l

Strat-shaped, H/S/S and Floyd. Or more precisely an Adrian Smith Model Jackson

Good point my friend but perhaps the question is " what is missing from your collection that would enhance/increase your enjoyment in playing guitar.  Or something.

The above mentioned guitar would give my collection everything bar P90's (which I don't want.......)

H/H - check

S/S/S - Check

H/S/H - check

Just lacking a H/S/S set-up. Then I'll be a happy Mike.

Then you want H/H/H/H
