Re: If money were no object...
So very predictable. It would indeed be a 1959 Les Paul Standard - one that I knew though. I have played a few that tick all the boxes. Although, I would settle for a 1959 ES-335 in birdseye blonde or a 1957 Goldtop.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

No RR1 or DeMartini Frenchie?
Give yourself an uppercut
Probably a 59 LP for me as per thread title.

Re: If money were no object...
probably that 6k PRS with the rosewood neck at Krd RS
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: If money were no object...
Too hard to choose an electric for me as every time I've tried one of the guitars I want to like I don't get on with it. I do really love the Ash Customworks Donnie I've got, but why get another one or a similar one...
The nicest guitar I've played but couldn't/wouldn't afford though was a Taylor 812 acoustic, so I think that is what I'd go for (or an 814) with a bit of bling on it or nice fancy woods

I'd have Eddie Van Halen's arms grafted onto my body. First I'd have my own arms removed, or it would look funny.

Re: If money were no object...
Utilitarian these days and try not to have object fetishes, but i still hanker for the old guitars due to falling for the hype at times. Norms Rare Guitars videos mostly..Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:... what guitar would you buy?
I would find a guitar that I like the sound of and feels good to play in the way the lets me hit the notes and bends the way I am thinking them. Most likely it would be a Gibson because I am so used to them. If i came into lots of money, i think i would be hard pressed to do much better than my current one.
Fret work is really important to me, so i would spend money on that. if the crown on the frets is not right I can get my fingers struck when sliding up the neck. It's kind of like how tall people bang their heads in doorways. It messes me up for a second or two and makes me lose my place.
I do not have an acoustic currently. I have a thing for those old Guild ones. That might be on the shopping list.
I also like stuff with the word 'super' in the name. Super Reverb, Superlead, and even Supro. A Torpedo Studio to run them and better monitors would be nice, but even better would be a big barn out in the country with amps at one end and a long curly cable going to the other. Loud PA too, so i can still jam to my bedroom guitarist backing tracks.

Re: If money were no object...
I've been thinking about this since I first saw the great thread title and, embarrassingly, I'm just not sure. Most of the guitars I would like are probably well within the realm of reasonable prices... A really nice old Gibson, or Gretsch from the 60's would be cool. If I had to name one though it would probably be an old Gibson J-45 from the early 60's, or perhaps a pre CBS Strat.
The main thing I'd be after is the feeling that it had some good songs in it!
Please don't swing the ban hammer on me for such a lame answer Beeg....haha!
