Assuming the companies that rerelease this gear would actually benefit from it:

-The Fender Meteora. First great fender shape in decades imo.

-Orange Dual Dark 50/100

-Avatar Contemporary 412

-MosValve 942 Poweramp. Hands down the best solidstate poweramp out there imo.

-Boss HM-2

I sold my (late 80's - absolutely mint) HM-2 for an extremely silly amount of money last month. It had been sitting around in my parent's attic (I moved out over 20 years ago!!) for decades. It certainly has a... erm... "distinctive" sound ;)

Every old Peavey amp, but especially the Supreme 160.

Crate Powerblock, there are better products, but this one would do really well for people using modellers on a budget these days. It was ahead of its time.

Vader Cabs with the original Eminence speakers. I think he's doing limited runs these days, but those original custom speakers were awesome.

BC Rich Draco

Having owned both of these i can say the are definitely NOT made for playing while sitting down. But with these 2 guitars, you need to stand up and show them respect!

......what? I've always loved the extreme look of some of the BC Rich guitars. Come at me.

I felt like the Draco was literally shaped for sitting down. The cuts in the body help it sit perfectly. And yes the Draco needs to come back

I miss the Parker Fly (the Deluxe, IMO, was the nearest thing to a perfect production guitar), but if it is ever reissued, I expect the reissue to somehow be fucked up, because most of the materials Ken used are probably discontinued.

I loved the Heartfield Talon also, but I doubt Fender would ever bother, based on how small the potential market would be.

RG-X, RG-XL, RG-CST, etd. - never owned one but came close, especially with the more common ones, still, the price would be too high now unless quality took a dive, so, I guess I'm good with the options currently available.

Well in my defense i'm like 5'9 and broad as someone who's slinging an axe into trees all day long haha, so sitting while playing makes things a little harder for me at least.

2 channel dual rectos

I'm actually sorta hopeful that Gibson will have Mesa do some Authentic(TM) reissues of some of their amps. C+ and the early Rectos (Rev C, F, G, whatever). Even if they're expensive, they'll at least be new and under warranty.
