Whats a guitar outside of your normal flavor that you'd love to have?

[Clockworkmike]

Ive always been a fan of the popular axes like Les Pauls, SGs, Vs, Explorers, Strats and Teles but i love a lot of other guitars as well. But what I play is usually an SG, Explorer or Tele. However, I was looking at other guitars that are off the beaten path and not something that I would normally use. One in particular is the awesome Gibson Byrdland.

Personality and viewpoints all aside and out of the window, Ted Nugent made me want one of those as a kid, from the massive sound he produced from it and its harnessed feedback. I was fortunate enough to get to try one at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville back in 1997 thru a cranked Silverface Fender Twin coincidentally enough lol But in its intended state of clean jazz, it was even more lovely.

So the question is: whats some of the guitars you admire outside of your normal preferences?

Wouldn't say no to this one, I have no shredder type locking bridge rock machines.

You read my mind. I’ve been looking at huge hollow bodies for a couple of weeks. I saw Elvis Costello play his Gibson super 400 on TV and the gas hit me hard.

for me this because Blackmore played it, if he plays it that means its cool guitar. forgot to ad pic



i'd like to learn folk instrument tho. i like Georgian folk music (some not all) and i think i can merge them together and make one big folk-chug???

i love this tune , now hearing some tune that i have not hear in long time, remembering good times partys , drinking fun... i need to go back for a bit...

I'd love to get my hands on a 1970s CSL Macaferri "Grande Bouche" Gypsy Jazz Guitar.

Electrics, I’m good. Got a tele clone and a Strat for the single coil sound. And a G400 and semi hollow for the HB thing. However. I have always had GAS for a really nice Martin acoustic. Won’t ever have one. Doesn’t stop me from wishing for one.

Last year I was looking for Semi Hollows, Hollows and pretty much would have loved an ES 335, 345, 355, 175 but would up trying out Guild Starfires, Ibanez 2355's, and already liked Epiphone Joe Pass signature guitars.

Here is an Ibby I looked at.

Now as for "different"

Explorers, Firebirds, Thunderbirds, V's, Superstrats,, EB3 type basses would all be different guitars I never tried.

 

[Session 5]

For me it would be the Rickenbacker 325.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

OH Yeah, I would also like one of these and one of these.

For me it would be the Rickenbacker 325.

I think Tom Petty every time I see one of these.

If all goes as planned, someone who is responsible for this picture, and myself will be setting in place a NGD for this.

 

[Session 5]

I think Tom Petty every time I see one of these.

This is a guitar that I have always liked, from the time I was young watching the Beatles. Its Classy, its Sexy, it just calls out to me. And yes Jangly too!

I'd really like an Epiphone Uptown Kat
