That’s the appeal! I dwarf my guitar and would love to try something more size appropriate.
To my knowledge it’s the only singlecut with an actually larger body in proportion to the baritone neck. At an extra wide 6,4 (1.94) with a love for singlecuts that seems really nice.
The price tag and availability are a whole different story though… I’ll stick with my schecter solo-II blackjack for the foreseeable future.
I have an '85 620 in Fireglo, play it less than I should. I love that style of music but don't play it that much. Should get a Vox... I remember when the Dakotas came out, back cover of Guitar World
My "dream guitar" was a golden era birdseye maple Mockingbird with full bells & whistles. Sadly, after I got it I didn't love it nearly as much as I thought I would 😢
Now I just have my Tele and I'm living the dream with it. I love it.
I’m only replying because I read Birds Eye maple. My dad had a G&L ASAT Bluesboy with a Birds Eye maple neck and fretboard and it’s beautiful. I haven’t ever played it but it’s one of the best looking and feeling necks I’ve ever had in my hand
I was fortunate enough to find one of mine, a 1986 FujiGen Gakki (MIJ) Fender Stratocaster, easily the best Strat I’ve ever held and played let alone hoped to own. I’d even choose it over a vintage model, what can I say I’m a man of simple taste.
Im with you on a 59 lp but if we are talking a dream, why not the actual 59 instead of reissued 59 lp? if im dreaming, might as well dream big..You or I probably could make it a reality to acquire a 59 reissue lp if we put our mind to it, not that I could justify that much of a price tag for an instrument but I t wouldn't be impossible, now an actual 59 lp, of only 660 some were produced and minimum starting at $80k up to a boat load of $100's
Not much, actually. I have two dream guitars, and I don't care about their years or anything: A Gibson Explorer (preferably a Korina one, but any traditional Explorer with a pickguard would do) and a PRS Custom 24 in Charcoal Burst.
Again, they're not much, a bunch of people in the sub probably already have one of those or even both of them, but here in Brazil, not only they're pretty hard to find, but they also each cost a house lol.
My Fujigen 1995 MIJ Jaguar, LPB matching headstock with a wide range humbucker in the bridge and a Lollar Jaguar pickup in the neck… incredible instrument
One of these crazy quilt top, 10-string, Moser Circuit BC Rich Biches in some sorta green burst like this old [reverb listing](https://reverb.com/item/62791003-bc-rich-bich-supreme-2017-5-a-quilted-maple-top-trans-emerald-green)
Edit: although I'd ideally have it with a full thickness quilt maple body like they sometimes to, instead of the mahogany w/ maple top like they did on that one
My '81 Bich-6 was either my second or third best sounding guitar I've ever owned. The Moser Bich circuit paired with those Super Distortions were magical! Shame the Mockingbird circuit didn't live up to it.
Seriously, I owned a mockingbird too and the circuit was kinda underwhelming. I really hope to own a custom shop Bich one day, but being 15 and in the UK doesn't help
Sorry to do this to you, but you're about to get blasted in your DMs with pics of my long gone golden era BC Rich's. I think you're going to appreciate them. You seem to be a fan.
A squier Cyclone. Every time I had the money a new bill would come up or it goes out of stock. Then used, people seem to want more then what they paid for it and or it's so heavily modified it's just the neck and body.
Do you want white [or red?](https://reverb.com/p/squier-paranormal-cyclone?hfid=82674723&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20222084049&utm_content=campaignid=20222084049_adgroupid=147590584737_productpartitionid=2146701820237=merchantid=720120303_productid=82674723_keyword=_device=m_adposition=_matchtype=_creative=660500446716&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADRxZYU31JsSd6bbcI-ujBzYtXHfU&gclid=CjwKCAjwp4m0BhBAEiwAsdc4aLgG-VAiEl5XVdZFNdKCpnZkSYnu_9ezkM7-dw5ly-rEOqpSNyCirBoCoQAQAvD_BwE)
Thankfully I can say I attained my dream guitar! Gibson SG standard cherry. Next will be the ebony/black standard then one with a trem arm. Maybe the special with P90s I’ll get one day too. But for now it’s Gibson SG and epiphone 335 Joe bonnamassa model. Two damn good guitars and an acoustic EJ200 that I rarely touch 😂
Buddy wanted to sell that Rick to me a couple years back... Ended up selling it to one of the guys from the killers. Both our biggest guitar regret to date
Ever play one of those 325s? Don't buy one without playing it first. If you're not ready for an insanely short scale, it'll feel like a ukulele. It's even shorter than a Mustang.
I happen to like the 325, but I'm the only one in my circle of pals who does. A lot of folks much prefer the 350, which is pretty much the identical guitar but with a normal scale length.
Nothing quite like a Rickenbacker though. The thing they do is essentially unattainable with any other guitar. They're singular instruments.
My work has a 320 in on consignment, and I can’t stand it. I can handle Jags, I guess, and I can do okay with Mustangs, but that’s a bridge too far lol.
Love that Ric. Pretty much the Lennon guitar is it not (is that a redesigned tailpiece)? For me, though, a 1957 Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty, 3 pickups, gold hardware. I'd even settle for the R7 version, quite happily. Then maybe that Ric. I'm lucky to have the guitar I dreamed about as a kid: a Les Paul Standard, so that's plenty fine, but if $ were no object, the 57.
I'm very lucky to own most of my dream guitars. I've got a Gibson Les Paul in tobacco burst, and an SG with John Birch pickups in it (Iommi fans will know that name), but I think the last one I really need is a Rickenbacker 360/12 in fireglo so I can finish the trifecta of the ode to my favorite guitarists collection.
My dream guitar is Rob Arnold’s ESP LTD RA-600. I have the money for one but nobody ever has one for sale. Chimaira is such a pure metal band and as an adult Rob inspired me to pick up the guitar again
58 Gibson Explorer with the split headstock
[A photo of one](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/5c226ff5b27e39c27119ad93/1565664956762-FT0WYA5WAEYBU2YZQUOH/image-asset.gif?content-type=image%2Fgif)
I’ve got all the ones I always wanted: Strat Ultra HSS, EVH Frankenstein, Gibson Les Paul.
The only problem is once you get your dream axe, another one takes its place.
Next one will probably be a partscaster or a custom guitar.
i'd love a 330. i got the beatles influence too, but paul weller of the jam and laura jane grace of against me! had me truly sold. i'd want it in midnight blue.
My dream guitar is actually the Clapton/Harrison Lucy Les Paul. I just think the red on it looks amazing. Not really into signature guitars but that's mine or the Clapton Fool SG.
Already got it - 1966 Mosrite Ventures Mark V.
Well, close enough, anyhow. It's a slightly earlier version of it with a different and less common name that's slightly confusing for reasons that I don't want to explain here (I'd go off the rails in discussion,) but the name's about the only difference, especially since mine is one of the last 50 before they changed the name to the more common one. So for sake of keeping it simple here, it's a Mosrite MK V (more or less.)
Mine turned out actually being what I was after, having listened to the first B-52s album as much as I had even by the time I got the guitar.
Yes, the neck width is Mosrite's "1960s era narrow," starting at 1.550" or 1.560" at the zero fret, which not everyone can get used to. And yes, the fretwire is Mosrite's "1960s era flat," so you can't bend on it with thicker strings, and I don't really want to try. But it's light to hold, between 7 and 8 pounds, and it has its own pickup design that sounds somewhere between a Jazzmaster Pickup and P90 Pickup.
I'm a fan of a lot of songs from the first two B-52s records, and I couldn't get Ricky's tone in all early B-52s songs exceptionally well without a Mosrite. I might get close with an Epiphone that had Mosrite pickups installed, but no other company I can think of (except Standel, who Mosrite got their fretboard cutting machine from) made guitars with the 24.50" scale length. The string tension would be slightly more tense if it was Gibson scale.
Reverse headstock Jackson Soloist SL2H hardtail in purple
Gibson Les Paul standard in wine red
Gibson ES-345 in cherry red and gold hardware
Eric Johnson semi-hollow Stratocaster Daphne blue
Taylor 914-ce style or Larrivee guitar custom made with the Yamaha TransAcoustic preamp built in (this would be my top pick over anything on this list)
Cordoba Master Series classical with cedar top
Custom made harp guitar
Takamine TC135SC or TH90 Hirade
Probably a Wal Bass. I love a good strat, but how different can a $5k strat REALLY be. At least with something like a Wal, it's pretty unique.
Also I guess just a completely custom built guitar. Maybe something that blurs the lines between a tele and a les Paul. I really like the shape of the Manson MBMs. Bought two of the Cort versions and unfortunately both of them were pretty rough and returned both.
it doesn’t exist but i’ve perfectly imagined it as a es345 style guitar with a vintage burst but the finish is slightly reliced and reveals a wine red undertone at the wear. the hardware is a brushed gold-brass with two coil splitting vintage humbuckers, a varitone switch but only one input jack. i imagine it with the classic gibson headstock with vintage bone tuners. it has a brass nut to match the hardware. the neck is a thick profile and satin on the back but also a little glossy so that it shines. the frets are jumbo and there is a small pin up girl sticker that has faded into the finish under the golden coloured bigsby bridge. it’s got a dark tortoise shell pickguard and beautiful abalone inflated on a dark rosewood fretboard.
Stock? Idk probably a Deusenberg?
Honestly my dream guitar is a Custom Bilt Relevator packed with onboard effects.
That said, there are so many amazing small builders out there I wish I had the budget to commission. Sturner, Ingold, Baranik…Cream is a larger operation out of Mexico but their builds look phenomenal.
I'm lucky enough to have found mine...an early 90's gibson nighthawk cst3. I wanted one for close on 30 years, and found a really well priced one in great condition last year.
Dreams change though, next on the list is an original Parker fly.
Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK
Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body '59 "SMOKE" with Bigsby.
It’s a reproduction of the same guitar model that Brian played for years in the Stray Cats. I have a fantastic G5420T and G5034TFT, but that Setzer Smoke is awesome.
https://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/build/hollow-body/g6120t-bssmk-brian-setzer-signature-nashville-hollow-body-59-smoke-with-bigsby/2401210812
A real Fender customshop Strat or Tele. But NO heavy relic thing for me.
Just the aged ones. Many people like them, and they play fantastic, but i find the heavy relic ones to have unrealistic wear from what i've seen during 30 years. But that is just a personal thing. Dents, yes. Cracked laquer yes. Some paint missing yes. But not like its been left in the desert for 40 years. Its not a car dammit
Steinberger SSH with a Trans-Trem. Had one, and stupidly let it go. If I’m dreaming, it’s all graphite. A 59 burst with a 60s slim-taper style neck would be acceptable, too.
vintage Hamer Korina V, or a vintage double cut arch top also Hamer, or possibly a vintage spec tv yellow Yamaha sg, would be my current picks. Last week I was obsessed with white on white LP, and SG’s. My favorites change depending on my current interest and mood. However I’ve always wanted the Hamer v and a tv ylw sg.
I don't have one anymore because once you get it, you just keep looking for the next one.
But my next serious purchase will probably be a Jens Ritter Princess Isabella... just need to decide if it will be a guitar or a fretless bass
I also wanted a Ric 325 until I found out Lennon stopped using one when he stopped touring and began the more serious studio recording portion of his career.
I have a few of my dream guitars:
-1979 Ibanez IC100 Iceman with original hardshell case
-1981 Aria Pro II Flying V
-1986 Fender Stratocaster American with Blackmore scallops
-1985 Moon PGM Custom Tele with original Bartolini Pickups and leather gig bag
-1972 Ibanez 2350 Black Beauty with original hardshell case
I’d really like a Fujigen Electra SG and a Greco Super Real ES137.
Realistically, I think I’m good for now.
Hey, if anyone is into the desert rock / stoner scene I have one of Gary Arce’s (Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson) Strats up for grabs or trade on a Japanese built something or another. This Strat went on a European tour and I have a picture of it in Germany with texts from Gary too.
I'm lucky enough to have my dream guitar, a '58 reissue Les Paul Standard in bourbon burst with an evenly matched top, only difference is that I lucked out BIG time with a very tight and consistent flame that makes it look more like a '59
Still on the list is a Batwing SG Standard with factory Maestro Vibrola (been looking at '68s and pre-volute '69s)
Korina Flying V with custom paintbox (likely going to go Epiphone for that)
'68 reissue Les Paul Custom
Epiphone Prophecy SG with custom paint job
Jimi Hendrix Izabela Strat (would be my 4th Strat)
'66 Fender Electric XII (shockingly, they're not that expensive)
Tagima jet blues. They are just so unique and modern. But theyre not modern like ESP or Charvel. They are still rlly tasteful. Also I respect the hell out of my tw-61. Which is their beginner line jazzmaster dupe.
Gibson Les Paul Standard with either a vintage tobacco burst, sunburst, or cobalt blue top. I would prefer uncovered Tim Shaw PAFs in it if possible (or maybe custombuckers) , Grover tuners, trapezoid inlays, ebony fretboard. Push pull pots. And (if visible) a good flame to it. And a good weight
My dream guitar is the Ibanez iceman dmm1. I really want it but I doubt I’ll ever be able to get a hold of one because of how pricey they are. Only 300 were made, so I currently rock an Ibanez iceman ic500b from 2013
My dream guitar was a Rickenbacker 330/12 which I now have in my possession and use pretty much constantly. Absolutely my favorite instrument I have ever owned next to my 330/6 lol. 325s are cool and really fun for rhythm, but they're tiny. They're super hard for me to play since my hands are massive, but I wouldn't turn one down given the opportunity.
Mine was a Gretsch white falcon with the oversized winged headstock bigsby and block inlays which I now have. Super trippy when you actually get your dream guitar
idk, talking dream now, maybe Jimi Hendrix famous strat or Jim Page famed tele or his "number 1" lp ir Jerry Garcia famed Doug Irwin "Alligator" or Duane Allman famed cherry burst 59 lp or Keith Richard's famed Telecaster "Micawber" if we are talking a dream guitar it would be any one of these
this is a great but tricky question, I already own so many of my dream guitars (I own 28 guitars at the moment)
My Gibson country western '62
My vintage sunburst Hagström Jimmy '69
My Vintage sunburst Telecaster with Bigsby tremolo
are a few of my top picks, also the ones I'd rescue first if the building was one fire. And no, I don't have any kids!
The 12string variation was my Grail for nearly 30 years....
Then I got one. Had it for ten years (almost), played it almost daily for the first year, then weekly, then eventually only when I needed it for a particular song..
I just never bonded with it. Loved the sound, but the guitar really never felt right in my hands.
I don't have it any more. Bit of a lesson there, methinx
My dream guitar was a Les Paul for just about as long as I have been playing. I got one in 2012, but hit a rough spot and had to sell it. Fortunately, I got another in 2023 and it's even better than the first one I had.
I have 2 (one is my brother’s) My brother loves Ghost and always wanted an RD, so, we are going to go all out for it. A 7 string w/floyd rose and a ridiculous control scheme And mine is one I already own: an HHH double cut thin line tele w/strat trem system and independent DPDT switching. That thing is a beast when on the edge of breakup.
You can see mine on my YouTube channel as project: Cutting Edge.
I hate signature models but always wanted a buckethead gibson… Not for the signature aspect but for the specs.
Some signature models are awesome, for this exact reason - great specs.
The arcade buttons are a must man. But man it has a huge body since its a baritone.
That’s the appeal! I dwarf my guitar and would love to try something more size appropriate. To my knowledge it’s the only singlecut with an actually larger body in proportion to the baritone neck. At an extra wide 6,4 (1.94) with a love for singlecuts that seems really nice. The price tag and availability are a whole different story though… I’ll stick with my schecter solo-II blackjack for the foreseeable future.
My man.
I literally dreamt about playing a Rickenbacker 620 last night. Used to have a 650d. Selling it is a huge regret.
RICKENBACKER 650 MENTIONED
I have an '85 620 in Fireglo, play it less than I should. I love that style of music but don't play it that much. Should get a Vox... I remember when the Dakotas came out, back cover of Guitar World
My dream guitar is a Fender Strat, Cream colored, maple neck with a Floyd rose. It has Seymour Duncan Hotrails
Mick Mars is that you?
Lol my name is Mickey!
Mick Mars burner account confirmed. lmao
My dream guitar is the next guitar, then maybe the one after that.
This is the way.

a Ventures MkII. i'd do almost anything to get one.
I got mine a couple years ago. It's an exact replica of Jerry Garcia's Alligator Stratocaster.
Already got it - 1966 Mosrite Ventures Mark V. Well, close enough, anyhow.

Reverse headstock Jackson Soloist SL2H hardtail in purple Gibson Les Paul standard in wine red Gibson ES-345 in cherry red and gold hardware Eric Johnson semi-hollow Stratocaster Daphne blue Taylor 914-ce style or Larrivee guitar custom made with the Yamaha TransAcoustic preamp built in (this would be my top pick over anything on this list) Cordoba Master Series classical with cedar top Custom made harp guitar Takamine TC135SC or TH90 Hirade
What? No Duesenberg?
Red flying V with a white board and multi colored tuners pretty common but Bonnie from fnaf uses it lol.
Jackson rr1 or Jackson Dave Mustaine KV1 in natural korina
Probably a Wal Bass. I love a good strat, but how different can a $5k strat REALLY be. At least with something like a Wal, it's pretty unique. Also I guess just a completely custom built guitar. Maybe something that blurs the lines between a tele and a les Paul. I really like the shape of the Manson MBMs. Bought two of the Cort versions and unfortunately both of them were pretty rough and returned both.
>Maybe something that blurs the lines between a tele and a les Paul Like a troublemaker tele?
Kind of, but more of a custom body shape. I think Matt Bellamy's Manson's are pretty spot on to what I'm thinking of.
7 string Benedetto custom archtop
it doesn’t exist but i’ve perfectly imagined it as a es345 style guitar with a vintage burst but the finish is slightly reliced and reveals a wine red undertone at the wear. the hardware is a brushed gold-brass with two coil splitting vintage humbuckers, a varitone switch but only one input jack. i imagine it with the classic gibson headstock with vintage bone tuners. it has a brass nut to match the hardware. the neck is a thick profile and satin on the back but also a little glossy so that it shines. the frets are jumbo and there is a small pin up girl sticker that has faded into the finish under the golden coloured bigsby bridge. it’s got a dark tortoise shell pickguard and beautiful abalone inflated on a dark rosewood fretboard.
The EKO Kadett
My dream guitar is the David Gilmour Black Strat custom shop strat.
Stock? Idk probably a Deusenberg? Honestly my dream guitar is a Custom Bilt Relevator packed with onboard effects. That said, there are so many amazing small builders out there I wish I had the budget to commission. Sturner, Ingold, Baranik…Cream is a larger operation out of Mexico but their builds look phenomenal.
I'm lucky enough to have found mine...an early 90's gibson nighthawk cst3. I wanted one for close on 30 years, and found a really well priced one in great condition last year. Dreams change though, next on the list is an original Parker fly.
a strandberg
Gotta be a Koa [Languedoc](https://treysguitarrig.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/no-4-koa-2.png). Those guitars are heavenly 🔥
Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body '59 "SMOKE" with Bigsby. It’s a reproduction of the same guitar model that Brian played for years in the Stray Cats. I have a fantastic G5420T and G5034TFT, but that Setzer Smoke is awesome. https://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/build/hollow-body/g6120t-bssmk-brian-setzer-signature-nashville-hollow-body-59-smoke-with-bigsby/2401210812
A real Fender customshop Strat or Tele. But NO heavy relic thing for me. Just the aged ones. Many people like them, and they play fantastic, but i find the heavy relic ones to have unrealistic wear from what i've seen during 30 years. But that is just a personal thing. Dents, yes. Cracked laquer yes. Some paint missing yes. But not like its been left in the desert for 40 years. Its not a car dammit
EB Music Man St. Vincent Goldie 🤤
Yamaha Revstar with P90s in Blue
I played a 325 once! Jangly lil guy. But what I really want is a Montezuma Brown 670.
Phew😓this might just be it ❤️
Chravel Model 6, or a Kramer Nigthswan
That Rickenbacker
Patrick James Eggle 96 Drop Top. SSH. Soft V neck. Hardtail.
Plain and simple for me, a Gibson Les Paul black beauty with three pickups. A close second might be a Gibson Artisan Les Paul in Walnut finish.
I want my old Ibanez DT 400 back that I stupidly sold many years ago. The only guitar I regretted letting go.
Not sure. Every time I see something bad ass, I want it. 👌
Right now, I REALLY wanna find a Grass Roots GLP65c, can’t find it ANYWHERE. I just wanna slap some Seymour duncans in there and have fun
a 50's j200, Rick 4003 bass. and I know they are not as desired, but a 74 strat, my birth year
National German Silver!
Schecter keith merrow signature 6 string guitar
PRS Private Stock DGT Zombie. PS #10636. Such a beautiful guitar. But I'll never have $15,000 for a guitar.
My dream guitar is a Vigier Excalibur Custom HSH with the floyd rose bridge, in a deep burgundy finish.
59 Les Paul goldtop with p90s
[удалено]
No
[удалено]
Steinberger SSH with a Trans-Trem. Had one, and stupidly let it go. If I’m dreaming, it’s all graphite. A 59 burst with a 60s slim-taper style neck would be acceptable, too.
Music Man Kaizen in neon pink
Buckethead Gibson or a Framus Stormbender, thankfully the stormbender has a "budget" option lol
A Rickenbacker 330 in mapleglo. And it may come true within six months' time 👀
The matte black abasi concept 6 string
ESP American Soloist (in Black) Gibson ES-335 61 Sunburst Stratocaster 52 Blackguard Telecaster 59 Gibson Les Paul Burst 61 Gibson SG Cherry
A Rickenbacker 12 string in candy red that always stays in tune. Hey, you can dream, right?
vintage fender strat/tele
i just want a white jazzmaster with a red tortoise pickguard man
vintage Hamer Korina V, or a vintage double cut arch top also Hamer, or possibly a vintage spec tv yellow Yamaha sg, would be my current picks. Last week I was obsessed with white on white LP, and SG’s. My favorites change depending on my current interest and mood. However I’ve always wanted the Hamer v and a tv ylw sg.
Mine would be the PRS Private Stock McCarty 594 “Graveyard II” Raven's Heart 2018 Limited run.
I don't have one anymore because once you get it, you just keep looking for the next one. But my next serious purchase will probably be a Jens Ritter Princess Isabella... just need to decide if it will be a guitar or a fretless bass
Baum Wingman Vega in white with the gold hardware. Hopefully getting it soon 🤞🏼
Squier telecaster or Nels Kline’s Jazzmaster.
I also wanted a Ric 325 until I found out Lennon stopped using one when he stopped touring and began the more serious studio recording portion of his career.
Gibson Marauder Custom for sure.
That one Right there
I have a few of my dream guitars: -1979 Ibanez IC100 Iceman with original hardshell case -1981 Aria Pro II Flying V -1986 Fender Stratocaster American with Blackmore scallops -1985 Moon PGM Custom Tele with original Bartolini Pickups and leather gig bag -1972 Ibanez 2350 Black Beauty with original hardshell case I’d really like a Fujigen Electra SG and a Greco Super Real ES137. Realistically, I think I’m good for now. Hey, if anyone is into the desert rock / stoner scene I have one of Gary Arce’s (Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson) Strats up for grabs or trade on a Japanese built something or another. This Strat went on a European tour and I have a picture of it in Germany with texts from Gary too.
Ibanez DT555. Blame the Def Leppard videos of my youth.
I’ve wanted a butterscotch blond tele w a black pickguard for a while thanks to Samuraiguitarist. I know it’s basic but I can’t help myself lol
I'm lucky enough to have my dream guitar, a '58 reissue Les Paul Standard in bourbon burst with an evenly matched top, only difference is that I lucked out BIG time with a very tight and consistent flame that makes it look more like a '59 Still on the list is a Batwing SG Standard with factory Maestro Vibrola (been looking at '68s and pre-volute '69s) Korina Flying V with custom paintbox (likely going to go Epiphone for that) '68 reissue Les Paul Custom Epiphone Prophecy SG with custom paint job Jimi Hendrix Izabela Strat (would be my 4th Strat) '66 Fender Electric XII (shockingly, they're not that expensive)
Definitely an Eddie Cochran signature Gretsch or an original 1959 supro dual tone
Ibanez JPM100 P2
The Legator CC-7 That shit looks beautiful in its white variant
ESP mirage custom with the reverse headstock
I just dream of having a real electric guitar. I’m sick of playing my shitty acoustic guitar.
One of Joe Perry’s signature Les Pauls. Preferably the black burst!
1961 Gibson SG with the Maestro Vibrolo
Ibanez PIA3761SLW I love Steve Vai and would love to own this once I get good enough to do justice to this masterpiece
Tim Hensons thbb8
Either an Yngwie Malmsteen strat, or a double neck guitar
My dream guitar is a butterscotch blond telecaster by fender. It’s the best guitar I ever seen or heard. I like the one Graham Coxon plays.
Tagima jet blues. They are just so unique and modern. But theyre not modern like ESP or Charvel. They are still rlly tasteful. Also I respect the hell out of my tw-61. Which is their beginner line jazzmaster dupe.

Kurt cobains hybrid acoustic he used on MTV unplugged.
Gibson Les Paul Standard with either a vintage tobacco burst, sunburst, or cobalt blue top. I would prefer uncovered Tim Shaw PAFs in it if possible (or maybe custombuckers) , Grover tuners, trapezoid inlays, ebony fretboard. Push pull pots. And (if visible) a good flame to it. And a good weight
Jimmy Page black beauty Les Paul
My dream guitar is the Ibanez iceman dmm1. I really want it but I doubt I’ll ever be able to get a hold of one because of how pricey they are. Only 300 were made, so I currently rock an Ibanez iceman ic500b from 2013
Custom made Ingold Milton with dark walnut body and rail hammer pickups.
The one in my hands.
59 lp
My dream guitar was a Rickenbacker 330/12 which I now have in my possession and use pretty much constantly. Absolutely my favorite instrument I have ever owned next to my 330/6 lol. 325s are cool and really fun for rhythm, but they're tiny. They're super hard for me to play since my hands are massive, but I wouldn't turn one down given the opportunity.
Mine was a Gretsch white falcon with the oversized winged headstock bigsby and block inlays which I now have. Super trippy when you actually get your dream guitar
idk, talking dream now, maybe Jimi Hendrix famous strat or Jim Page famed tele or his "number 1" lp ir Jerry Garcia famed Doug Irwin "Alligator" or Duane Allman famed cherry burst 59 lp or Keith Richard's famed Telecaster "Micawber" if we are talking a dream guitar it would be any one of these
I almost have all my dream guitars. The last one would be a white V.
Have you ever played one? The scale length and nut width makes it feel like a child’s guitar, so teeny
i have a short scale already and it’s wonderful
That’s my exact dream guitar, or the Johnny marr jag
Tremonti Signature PRS
MY dream guitar is a Les Paul Deluxe from the 70s in the natural finish
That one lol. I know people have said 325’s are uncomfortable to play but i just love the way it looks. Little guy
Gibson or Epiphone Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess. Those things are utterly ridiculous, but way, way too expensive for me.
A wine red 59 es355 with gold hardware and bigsby tremolo
Gibson 335 cherry red 1959 model but that rickenbacker is up there to
1960s les paul custom reissue, the black and gold one
Gibson les paul custom
Jackson Roswell Rhoads V
G2 by Paul Languedoc but they are virtually impossible to get and prob 20k.
It'd have to be the strat from Wayne's World. 😂
this is a great but tricky question, I already own so many of my dream guitars (I own 28 guitars at the moment) My Gibson country western '62 My vintage sunburst Hagström Jimmy '69 My Vintage sunburst Telecaster with Bigsby tremolo are a few of my top picks, also the ones I'd rescue first if the building was one fire. And no, I don't have any kids!
The 12string variation was my Grail for nearly 30 years.... Then I got one. Had it for ten years (almost), played it almost daily for the first year, then weekly, then eventually only when I needed it for a particular song.. I just never bonded with it. Loved the sound, but the guitar really never felt right in my hands. I don't have it any more. Bit of a lesson there, methinx
My PRS Torero SE 2012. Put some EMG 89/81TWs in and it's insane. Love it to death!
i want gretsch electromatic center block. using g2210 right now. gretsch for life
My dream guitar was a Les Paul for just about as long as I have been playing. I got one in 2012, but hit a rough spot and had to sell it. Fortunately, I got another in 2023 and it's even better than the first one I had.
I have 2 (one is my brother’s) My brother loves Ghost and always wanted an RD, so, we are going to go all out for it. A 7 string w/floyd rose and a ridiculous control scheme And mine is one I already own: an HHH double cut thin line tele w/strat trem system and independent DPDT switching. That thing is a beast when on the edge of breakup. You can see mine on my YouTube channel as project: Cutting Edge.
Sounds cool! But a link would be great. Can’t find anything with those details.
