Scenario: let's say someone gave you $3K.

[sonik]

Hammond B/C 3

 

[Knox in Box]

Man, tough one. Maybe a Flaxwood, I've never really contemplated an expensive Instrument for myself. Maybe a Nick Page, a Kaur or a Mcfeely, but that would have to be custom.

 

[Tig]

Hammond B/C 3

This crossed my mind at $2999 US:
Nord Electro 5D 73

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Suhr Modern
HH
Gotoh vibrato
Non locking tuners
Lake Placid Blue

 

[Guitar Heel]

gold hardware, middle pickup...

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

gold hardware, middle pickup...

I specified HH for a reason.

 

[Modern Saint]

Tough...

I can get either a Kauer - need to work somthing our..

or maybe an

Eastman Hollowbody

 

[Punchy]

I'd ask for the money in 20-dollar bills, then stop by the Kauer shop on the way home from work and make it rain on Doug until he handed me a guitar

 

[baimun]

 

[sleewell]

suhr modern

hum - bridge, single - neck
hipshot hardtail bridge

 

[Alex W]

Probably a really nice Heritage. No idea what something out of their custom shop costs.

 

[tiger roach]

Here's as close as I can get for that. You'll have to put in $109 of your own.

Looks like a good candidate.

Now I just need the $3K.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

A big fat jazz box with two pickups.

 

[Tig]

Looks like a good candidate.

Now I just need the $3K.

I believe Flamencology has that part covered.

 

[James Franciscus]

 

[Mark Wein]

I'd have mark build me a semi hollow guitar.

Hmmmmm....definitely an acoustic. Most of the builders that come to mind right away cost more than $3000.00.

Gotta be off the shelf.

Guitar Gallery in TN has two that might fit the bill

A Breedlove C-15. Ebony back and side/bear claw sitka spruce top. I'd probably grab this one.........

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

A nice Pro Line Gretsch archtop.

 

[El Borrachito]

I'd have some work done to my car:

 

[bsman]

Hmm, that might finally induce me to buy a "real" Les Paul (right now, I've got a special P90).
