Many people have guitars that they
a perfectly happy with and would continue to use until the end of their
days without so much as a whiff of complaint but late at night, when
you are tucked up in bed and sleep engulfs you. What guitar do you
dream of having?
I want one!!

I wouldn't mind having one of these [or both]: 1. This new Gibson Digital - 2.
A special Gibson called "The Les Paul". They were made from
about 1975 to 1978. Only a few were made. I cannot seem to
locate any images of one on the web, but they don't look like any other
Les Paul - lots of exotic woods used for materials. On the inside
of the The Steve Howe Album CD, there's a photo of Steve playing one... |

"The Woman Sound" guitar Todd Rundgren got from Eric Clapton. It's the rainbowy painted one Eric played in Cream

It's an SG, right?
I really like the Parker Fly customs, not the NiteFly. One piece of molded composite. I've played about ten different ones and they all feel and sound the same, great! |

i'd love to have Jimmy Page's original Telecaster (from Jeff Beck) that he used on Zeppelin1: I love it so much that i bought myself a Tele of my own, but its just not the same..

My dream guitar is a Cream colored Gibson ES-355 with Vibrola Tailpiece. Like the kind used by Alex Lifeson. If I couldn't have that it would be Steve Howe's Gibson ES-175.

Definately a Les Paul Black Beauty with gold hardware, that guitar makes me want to weep. If not that, then an Ernie Music Man, either the Steve Morse or the John Petrucci model. -------------

I'd never seen it close up. That is a hell of a guitar but the again, I've always thought that the telecaster was one of the high water marks of guitar design. For years I lusted after famous Andy Summers Tele for the same reason.  ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

Mine would be having a pair of custom made SG clone (cherry red) but with a major difference, it would be a neck-through-body as opposed to the normal glued-in neck that Gibson normally uses, this would be FAR more stable! Additional stuff would be a set of Seymour Duncan '59's on one, and a set of P-90 single coils in theother and an abalone inlay of an Owl's face in the pegheads of both. ------------- People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction! www.myspace.com/theowlsmusic |

I'm really happy with my current guitar, a 1994 Hofner Nightingale, it's the ES-335 model in front : i don't have much on my wish list, but this combination of a rick and a AC-30 would be great :  |

I'm with the Parker fans...amazing guitars. A high-end PRS would be sweet too. I've also always wanted one of those Paisley telecasters.

I played for some time a Wasburn Dreadnaught, and then I baught the N4. I have rather small fingers and I love the Washburn necks and fretboards. First time I played the N4 in the store, it was love at first touch. |

| My dream guitar is my hacked up Squire Strat which I bought for $50 off a guy who was going to jail years ago. This one was made in the USA and not in Korea or Mexico. I've played it against the real McCoy on a number of occasions. Absolutely no difference. |

Posted By: sigod
Date Posted: March 08 2005 at 05:38
Ooh, there's a story behind that.... ...but I don't know it! Actually I do. Apparrently Chris has had the body of his famous white Ricky shaved down so it's very light and has given it that very 'middly' tone that cuts through in the mix. There isn't a single guitar that sounds quite like it (although Dave Meros of Spock's beard has built a ricky that sounds close I'm told). ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |
