        Hi AM community!

        The new guy on the forum here. I did a search on this and didn’t find it as a topic, so here we go. Apologies if something similar exists and escaped my search.

        What’s your dream guitar? The one you’d get if nothing was in your way. Any era, any brand, any style, any price tag?

        For me, the ultimate one would be a ’59 Gibson Les Paul in cherry sunburst. From the newer generations, I’d have to go with PRS MF53 Myles Kennedy signature.

        Cheers!

        Trust the process.

          HnH,

          I’m a strat guy, probably because I’m such a fan of Hendrix and because I love the tone. They are iconic and just the most ergonomic guitars ever produced.
          I’ve had several strats but I’m happiest with my Fender custom shop, early 60’s relic with roasted body and neck, sanded birdseye maple neck, dark rosewood finger board, 6105 jumbo frets, fat 60’s custom shop pick ups. Not really looking for anything else at the moment. I think I’d put future dollars toward sound equipment, ie. input devices, modellers, microphones. I would love to try a 2025 Martin D28, though.

          John

              Sweet!

              I’ve never player a proper strat. I have player strat style guitars but never really got hooked to them. Also, and this is due to the shitty quality cheap bidges, they almost never stayed in tune. Funny enough, it’s one of the reasons I fell in love with telecasters. Fixed bridge, no moving parts, just a workhorse of a guitar.

              I forgot to mention it in the OP, but lately I caught myself drooling over a Yamaha Revstar with P90s. I wouldn’t say it’s a dream-class guitar, the classic series is relatively budget friendly, but I wouldn’t reject one if an opportunity presents itself 🙂 🙂 🙂

              Trust the process.

              I’m with Charjo. Strats are the most ergonomic. Of course, by now there are many guitars that are pretty much total clones of Fender Strats.

                Well that’s a hard choice! I had the chance to pick on a 1960 Esquire this year and that was a nice guitar.
                But a lot of my heroes play or played Gibson L-5s, so if I could get one of those as a lefty someday…
