Dream guitars

Hey,

Just curious as to what are folks dream guitars? I always think of the guitars I’d buy if I won the lotto! And I wondered what others would buy if money wasn’t an issue!

I played a Novo Serius J last year and was blown away with how amazing it sounded and played. Almost kicked my vintage GAS, almost! 

I dream about owning a vintage ES-335. Gotta be red with block inlays.

Well I suppose it would have to be a birth year Les Paul. A 59 Junior or Special would do.

Another feline.

I’m fortunate enough to own the guitar of my dreams, bought my 1962 335 about three years ago. Can’t think of any other guitar I would trade it for.
   Although I’m often looking at ‘60’s SG’s, never had the chance to try one though.
   I would also like to try out an early ‘60’s Strat if I ever get the chance.

Nothing built before the millenium covers most of what I wouldn't buy. What I would buy is somewhat harder to find/choose!

I'm not sure there's a guitar I want more than my pink paisley Telecaster right now.

I have the regular one, but my dream guitar is this very limited edition of the Vigier Shawn Lane.

One of my dream guitars! Alongside many others including a Martin om42, Gretsch Penguin and on and on the list goes!

I’m currently saving for a Jason Isbell Telecaster! I keep missing out on the second hand ones!

Simple hero worship from me, mostly:

- ‘69-72 Fender Competition Mustang, burgundy finish & matching headstock (I’d ‘settle’ for unmatched!)
- ‘78-83 Gibson Les Paul Custom silverburst
- ‘59 Gibson ES-330, short-neck era
- ‘83 Gibson Korina Flying V

My dream guitar is typically 20% more expensive than whatever I happen to be looking at.

Gibson Lucile

PRS semi of some sort

One of those mental Crimson Guitars thingies made of rotting wood and copper.

A headless Status Graphite 5 string bass

Already own 2 Telecasters that are pretty much the epitome of what I think the electric guitar should be, but if I was going to buy another one it would probably be getting Feline or a similar luthier to build me a Les Paul special with a 25" or 25.5" scale length and a P90/HB pickup combination.

Also, though I'm nowhere near good enough at the acoustic guitar to justify it, a really nice acoustic guitar would be lovely

Some of these are more achievable/likely than others:

2007 Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom 
1990s Gibson Les Paul Classic Birdseye
A nice R9
A korina V, either Gibson or Banker
An Eggle Macon custom order of some sort - falling leaf inlays, some kind of green colour
A full fat ESP Custom Shop Ninja

I was lucky enough to recently purchase a 1979 Ibanez Iceman IC210. Birth year, about as mint as one could expect, all original, iconic shape, and totally unique. Very much my dream guitar.

Lucky enough to buy mine a little while ago....PRS ME1

Rather boring and predictably:

Electric - 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard
Acoustic - Pre-war "bone"

Or more realistically

Electric - Gil Yaron burst replica
Acoustic - Yamaha LL56

I own 5 really nice electrics and I've toyed with getting rid and going vintage but for me reissues etc are nearly there. 

Maybe an exotic wood lowden but I have 3 nice acoustics. 

Whilst being old isn't great I do have some nice guitars.
