Have this 93 MIM toploader Tele and I don't care what anybody says about them, the damn thing just sounds amazing, but I can't stand the skinny little neck with the vintage frets. So I need an American neck with maybe a little flatter radius and I'd also like to install some better saddles on it. Don't need or want any more guitars or amps, pretty happy with what I have. Although I suppose I could use a breedlove dreadnaught just so I could preserve my forty year old, incredible sounding Japanese D-35 copy a bit. Could go for a better dirt pedal (this bad monkey is a tone sucker) and maybe a flange or delay and chorus, and that should about do it for me.

 

Acquired a real old American made Flute last week off Craigs List which is something I've wanted for quite some time. Now comes the learning curve.:facepalm:

not GAS.... I would describe GAS as that uncontrollable feeling where you really have to buy something, like jonesin for crack
:o:lol:

but what do you still WANT, ie a rational desire that doesnt have to be satisfied instantly


this is the rest of my rational want list that I hope to slowly fulfill over the next few years, but I am so very happy with my rig now that I have no desire to rush any of these purchases



Boucher 000 acoustic, but will gladly substitue for any other high end nice sounding 000's

Suhr HSS strat with maple fretboard and sunburst finish

Epiphone Elitist Casino, or a standard one that I can upgrade the bridge, tuners and pups on (this is likely my next thing I will save towards, I kinda want that jangly tone for some stuff I want to play)

Mesa Lonestar Classic 2x12 combo

Charvel custom shop San Dimas

Gibson LP Classic (a used one in sunburst, the ones that had 1960 on the pickguard from a few years back)

 

I think I'm there.

That's why my buying has slowed in the past year.

Most of what I want is higher endoutique gear.

 

The Short list.

 

James Trussart Steel Caster

 

Duesenberg DTV Outlaw

 

Nik Huber P90 Tele (Maybe)

If I see the bloody light and become a baby-eating metalhead:

Some 24-fret custom shop Jackson (so no Rhoads unless it's an RR24 type) Preferably a Kelly

Go to the amps forum to see what kind of amp would work for metal

Start a band and run it to the point where my bandmates kill themselves to get out of my tyrannical leadership just to have a reason to use the metal amp (packing arenas because it would be 95 watts too many)

 

If not, I become a snorkeldick wuss with no soul and leave this place for TGP. I then start listening to the music of the Soulless Sixties. My gear would then lean to the following:

Something from a brand like "Suhr" or "Tom Anderson" with a needless overly flamey top, or a PRS, or anything with the word "reissue" in the name

Go to the amp forum to see what needless little boutique tube amp I need

 

More realistically, one guitar and one amp of the following:

Jackson KE3 (going down the metal path)

PRS SE Custom 24 (going down the wuss path)

Something with f-holes (wuss path again)

 

Krank Rev Jr Pro stack

Some mods for the Valve Jr

 

An attenuator either way (Weber Micro Mass?)

 

I'm more likely going down the wuss path unless metal cleans up its act. I suggest that Disney step in and remove the screaming violent devil crap. If Disney won't neuter metal I will somehow.

I think I'm going to get another one of these. . .Man I love it.

that would also be on my list. Nice.

And you could add a Parker Fly Mojo Flame to that

And a Martin D12-28 and a Taylor 814CE

And... um. I played a Collings a few weeks ago that almost made me cry

Oh and theres the amps... and other general stuff.
