What guitar do you have irrational GAS for?

[Gorgon90]

Tokai VC55 or VC75.


Had one in my local music shop when I was just starting to learn guitar and I thought it was awesome. It sold before I ever got anywhere near having the money or ability to justify it. In ten years of looking, I have seen ONE on ebay and I didn't have the cash at the time.

Gotta be the Fender La Cabronita Jazzmaster. I don't even like Fenders. For some reason this guitar seems so sweet to me. This GAS is irrational because the thing is $3999. rolleyes1

The guitar shop I hang out at (Cream City Music), had one of those for a couple of months.



I want all of these:

Gretsch George Van Epps - I like 7-string guitars. This is the world's first production 7-string (made from 1967 to 1979). I also like Gretsches. That works really well for me!

Gretsch Electro II - made from 1950 to 1953. Dynas were wound hotter back then, and OWN any P90 IMO. Also, it would be nice to have vintage guitar, that was around at the time rock & roll was juat starting to happen.

1950 Fender Esquire - yeah it only has one pickup, but it looks cool! besides, I like one pickup guitars! Also the early Fender pickups are darker sounding, and hotter, so they give more amp grind when the gain is dialed up.

The Wilkinson on my Rev is my favorite vibrato ever. Best working, best feel. I'm not a heavy user at all, but I really like it.

Agreed. Though I find that I use it a lot more than I think I do.

 

[Flatspotter]

I really want a Backlund JBD-800.

Oops, I meant a JBD-400! :bfp:

 

[CBHScott]

No, no Railhammers either. At least not at this time. They are gaining momentum though. Here is the production model.

That is damn sweet!

 

[Elias Graves]

That is horrifying.

Isn't it? I love it.

so how much is Bruce charging you, and when will it be finished?

Shit, I don't even want to know what it would cost.
$5-6k?

 

[Elias Graves]

Oops, I meant a JBD-400! :bfp:

What's 400 between friends?

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Shit, I don't even want to know what it would cost.
$5-6k?

if you go back to that awful thread, he quoted you $7500.

 

[Coda]

Its not really irrational gas, nor is it really any specific guitar, but 9 times out of ten, I am gassing a Les Paul...

 

[Elias Graves]

if you go back to that awful thread, he quoted you $7500.

Jeez. No way I can buy enough trips to earn sufficient brownie points for that to happen.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Jeez. No way I can buy enough trips to earn sufficient brownie points for that to happen.

OTOH, you'd have a one-of-a-kind, hand built instrument that you could sell for a $5000 loss one day.

Irrational GAS? Neil's D-45 as seen here:

That guitar reminds me of a Buick.

 

[Kerouac]

That is damn sweet!

Yes it is!

 

[Punchy]

Irrational, you say?

Also:

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

That guitar reminds me of a Buick.

i guess John succeeded then.

 

[Kerouac]

Here you go.

I had a dream about this one last night. It also involved a tall, leggy blonde who did things better left unspoken.

 

[Modern Saint]

I have periodic GAS for a Buddy Guy Signature!

 

[Jbird]

I still want a Caparison Horus WM MF

I know, it's silly to spend $2500 on a guitar when your just a crappy garage-band level bedroom player, but I still want one.
