Could afford an N2 new from Music Ground in Leeds in ‘92. Excellent instrument even though I’ve not played it in public in years. Looks a bit small on me. But still feels like home.
When I was a kid, I always wanted a red Fender Strat like what Mark Knopfler played and also a black 70s Strat like what Sting was playing in the video of Walking on the Moon. Since those days, always wanted Ibanez guitars, most likely because of Steve Vai.
Never owned a real Fender Strat, but bought a few lower end Ibanez RG guitars.
- The other one was a Jerry Donohue 'JD' MIJ Tele. First Tele I ever played and I wish I'h bought one, again the neck was really nice, the pickup switching options were practical and made it another decent jobbing guitar. I tried the USA sig model some time later and thought from memory I preferred the Jap version. But then again, so did Jerry so I consider my decision vindicated.
That's about it really, neither would set the world alight but both would get the job done and done well.And no, I don't now or have ever owned either!
+1 to Slash's Goldtop, that one followed soon afterwards. I still keep searching for a pre-historic Goldtop. I was close to buying one a couple of years ago, from the US. But messing around with customs and paying the duties back then made me bail out. Still regret that move...
@mudslide73 - love INXS & Tim Farriss' funky, catchy guitar riffs!
Vividly remember a Gibson magazine advert with that guitar.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
Stockist of: Earvana & Graphtech nuts, Faber Tonepros & Gotoh hardware, Fatcat bridges. Highwood Saddles.
Pickups from BKP, Oil City & Monty's pickups.

Then Vai's JEM. Couldn't afford it so bought an RG750 after playing about 100 different guitars.
Shiflett tele: Tried, liked, bought.
Gary Clark Casino: Bought unseen on the internet. Liked.
What I really love is how I justify being such an artist fanboy with my guitar purchasing:
1. The sig models are usually very good guitars and often come with features that are not available elsewhere (e.g. Shiflett has regular humbuckers, flatter fretboard, GCJ Casino has Gibson p'ups, switchcraft switch and jack)
2. They make me play better, because mojo etc.
3. No-one other than guitarists knows or cares that they are signature models. Most sigs have no real visible sign of them being a signature guitar. Many guitarists don't know either.
