What are you GAS-ing for?

[SG John]

Thanks for the heads-up @SG John. Any particular year that you'd recommend?
I did once see a video of Ed King talking SG's, where he said he preferred the 64's, though I can't remember his reasons. Cheers

If I was on the hunt, ‘62 would preferred due to my age. Otherwise, ‘61- early ‘65 would be the ones I’d be looking for. Small pickguard, dog ear P-90, and wide fingerboard with thin neck profile.

I’m good with overall differences between groups of years, but can’t give a good year to year breakdown. I know I prefer the earlier necks and heels, and maybe a ‘64 neck would have been Ed’s favorite.

Ok, so by that logic I should be looking for a '63. Thanks @SG John. Cheers

I'm still waiting on this...

Sigh...

Man that is a beautiful V .
Mine almost looks that good.

I have no idea, I'd love a 1987x or sv20h, the dream would be a Gibson es 335.
A more likely scenario would be to get a used Mustang or Jazz master next year, maybe aim for a Gretsch 6120 in 2 years, and an es 355 if I can finally afford it in about 12 years...
I think I can get closeish plexi tones on my SC20 so a few tube swaps and a 2x12 might get me close enough for that to be a non starter ( currently using a 4x10)

My wife has decided to repaint the house so that it will match a ‘56 DeSoto. She said I should look for a matching Strat. Thinking that maybe a ‘56 reissue with maple neck and fingerboard would fit the bill.

We're down to my income only, so with the loss of disposable dough, so went my GAS. But... If someone was offering me something like a Burny SG Jr. I wouldn't turn it down.

I want this guitar because I know it will annoy some and confuse others.

But then... I think that if I get another Strat, I would really prefer something along the lines of a two tone sunburst model. Preferably in ash and as close to a real ‘54 as I could afford to get my paws on.

That looks like one of the old epi somethings, think it was from the 60s or 70s? Seen one on our fb marketplace in Perth I think, black centre block, red wings, looked pretty cool.

It's a "custom" build parts guitar.

I like your way of thinking. I would prefer the two tone sunburst, but if the wife says go out and buy an expensive custom color Strat... You do what she says. Then buy the other one later. Got to get the Strat before she changes her mind.
