Guitars You've Wanted from Your Childhood!

[Stealthdjentstic]

Whats the first guitar you GAS'd for? When I first started playing I was huge into korn so I wanted a k7 really badly. I ended up buying a different 7 for only a few hundred less because I didn't realize used K7's go for a pretty reasonable price


Pics are a bonus too so post em up!

I always thought Korn's guitar players had really cool guitars. So by the time I was 17 and got my first Ibanez, I had been GASing for 4 years!

Another would be a black PRS Custom 24. Can't find any pics, though, since all I can find are trans-black ones.

EDIT: Here's a pic of that guitar... Just... Broken.

Since this is the 7-string section, here's the first seven I wanted.

Doesnt have to be a seven btw, just whatever it was you GAS'd for!

From the very first moment I saw this guitar, I knew I had to have one. And someday, I goddamn will:

 

[dreamermind]

when I was little I've dreamed about this guitar, because I was huge Shenker fan and still is. but I would look ridiculous now with this shape because I put my guitar very high, may be some day it will be my home guitar when nobody sees me

I always liked Jackson guitars - proper 80s thrash machines. As soon as I could afford one I got one.

my first guitar was a tele given to me by a family friend. i thought it was pretty good, until i saw a few others with a fender strat. i didn't know anything about guitars back then so when i saw that the strat had a tremolo, a middle pickup and a cooler looking body i was so jealous but it's all good because now i got 3 ibanez's

I was about 13 when I saw this. Never saw anything like it. Michael Angelo Batio from the band Nitro, at the time.

Wes Borland was the man who made me want to pick up a guitar when I was 12, and I knew he played a pointy ibanez so all I wanted was a pointy ibanez. Ended up with a 6 string Gio not realizing he played 7s, but I finally got my 7 string RG a few days ago!

When I started out I was a huge Dimebag fanboy, and so I wanted one of these:

And consequently here's what my first guitar ended up being:

It's only a cheap "Baby ML", with a 3/4 size body and a full-size neck, but it's served me well and sounds great. Plus, it was a little more manageable than a full-sized dining-table ML for the short, skinny 12 year old I was. And it was cheap.

I did the burnt chrome pickup covers myself, which is why they're shit.

This :

When I was 14, I would go to the local music store where they had one on display and look at it almost daily. I had only seen stratocasters and teles up to then and this monster was something completely alien to me. Just thinking about it makes me smile.

Best part: my parents divorced and mom wanted to do something special for me and decided to buy me a decent guitar because I was always playing crappy gear.
So she went to a guitar store and asked the owner for advice. Turns out she went to my guitar store and the owner advised her to buy this exact guitar. Which she did, and it was probably the best gift I ever had.

I played the crap out of it for the next 15 years and it is now retired (switched to 7's) but it still is a great guitar.

I am 36 now and still waiting for her to get me a surprise JP7 BFR.
