What Would You Do For Your Dream Guitar?

Drayke · 04-25-2008, 09:59 AM

I thought this might be an interesting question with lots of different answers,
What have you done, or are, or would do to get your Dream Guitar?

I assume that not everyone on this Forum are super rich, or have fantastic jobs and get given free guitars!

It could be that you saved hard for it, swapped other guitars, got in debt or stole....So lets here your stories?

By-the-way I sold my ESP Eclipse II (Which I didnt like) and saved hard for the rest of £ to get My Gibson Slash Les Paul, which was made harder as me and my wife have a 4 month old little boy.

I would get a second job to be able to afford it.

Belzeebub · 04-25-2008, 10:02 AM

And I also traded in an Epiphone LP Standard and a POS Ibanez to be able to buy my first Gibson LP.

armann · 04-25-2008, 10:22 AM

I would say work more but it's hard enough to pay the bills

Blues Power · 04-25-2008, 10:31 AM

I just bought it, granted theyre more money now then when i was shopping but the % of the cost to income level is the same. i was never a spend thift so it never took too long to recuperate from the visa bill

When I couldn't stand the GAS for an R9 any longer, I sold a guitar to pay for it ( a Clarke, quite rare, made in Edmonton in the 60s). Came out pretty close.

Now this damn place is making me GAS for old wood, I may have to thin the herd a bit again.

Velvet Roses · 04-25-2008, 11:18 AM

Ummm, I would.............EAT A BABY

***b-squared*** · 04-25-2008, 11:55 AM

I'd eat a Klondike bar...

BB

Belzeebub · 04-25-2008, 01:05 PM

i would eat a healthy salad.

BigB · 04-25-2008, 01:16 PM

well since my original dream was to get a LP and now i got that i guess now i need to figure out a way to break into Joe Satrianis house, club him over the and head and run off with one his ibanez's.

Zack Pomerleau · 04-25-2008, 01:29 PM

You need to be careful on what you say!

But since I want a 1959/1960 Burst, or a 1954 Goldtop or Black guitar with P-90's, I'd do a lot.

Axeman16 · 04-25-2008, 01:33 PM

i already own my dream guitar. i would work and save up until i could get it because i wouldnt let yself sell any of my current axes.

mobprop667 · 04-25-2008, 01:37 PM

i have my dream guitar, and my dream baby, but i probably would eat my guitar to have my baby.

MIDNIGHT · 04-25-2008, 01:39 PM

keep workin' hard, become a doctor, make crap-loads of money, then buy it

it'll be sweeter that way.. hard-worked

Bluesjam · 04-25-2008, 03:00 PM

I already own my dream guitar. It was bought in 2001 buy a member of another guitar forum, he's a fender man and hardly ever played it. It sat in the case till 2007 when he sold it to me. I live in florida and he lives in boston. I stick a set of WB Vintage Hot's and a RS Vintage kit and it is my dream guitar. All of the years just waiting for me.

Actually, I already have my dream guitars, so maybe I'm not really qualified for this one.

LongBeach · 04-25-2008, 06:53 PM
