1. A decent acoustic. I’m never going to acquire the tooling and experience to build a top end acoustic, so I’d buy this as soon as I could find the right one.
2. A Parker Fly for when I need something light and easy to play in my dotage.
I’d make:
1. A Telecaster or two ... or three.
2. A semi with humbuckers, and a body slightly smaller than a 335.
3. A bass.
Of course I wouldn’t be totally satisfied with what I’d made. There would always be something else to try, a finish, a pickup combination, a tweak to the body shape, a laminated neck, those new Axesrus lightweight tuners, that tree I chopped down two years ago. So I’d keep making one or two a year until I ran out of house room.
I would want though:
335 Cherry
at least 50 yr old Strat
62 Custom Tele
LP with ebony neck
LP DC Jr
PRS P90s
Hofner Archtop
original era Yamaha SG2000s SB finish
I'd start with trying to find a Tele as good as my black one... and see how much was left.
Buying my guitars over a long period of time has been an educational experience, I would never have bought a Custom Shop Tele if I hadn’t loved my cheaper Teles first, so although I wouldn’t buy 3/4 of them again it’s only a reflection of where I am now as a player.
I’d definitely replace my Nocaster, then spend a looooooong time trying out acoustics and something with P90s that I never want to stop playing.
With so many comparison web sites out there, how do I choose the best one?
The rest of it is just fun stuff to own, but nothing I'd miss too much if I'm honest.
