Guitars You've Wanted from Your Childhood!

[Kreml]

My first crush was on a B.C. Rich Warlock NJ Deluxe.. But then i saw some Tyr music videos and instantly fell in love with the Green Dot UV7 they use..

Some years later i got the Warlock, but i cant seem to find any Green Dots for sale in Europe

 

[I Voyager]

Anything James Hetfield owned, ever. Same with Alexi Laiho and Matt Heafy/Corey Beaulieu.

This was the ad that I lusted over for years as a broke teenager making due with a crappy strat copy:

 

[s4tch]

I saw it in '89 for the first time, I guess. I didn't even started listening metal, but DAT RHOADS!!!

 

[IbanezDaemon]

PL2550.

 

[stratjacket]

In the late 80's I used to dream about a Charvel Model 6. My friend had one and I fell in love with it.

 

[Church2224]

Ibanez JEM7V, Fender American HSS Strat, and, most of all, an ESP M-II Urban Camo

 

[Crash Dandicoot]

You'd think the PGM90 boner would go away after a number of years.

You'd be wrong.

I'll second the SRV Strat was the first guitar I really GAS'd for. I was an SRV nut for many years.

Then I saw the UV777BK. I was into Korn at the time and knew they played 7's. That's one I still GAS for.

[Don Vito]

I started playing guitar in early 2009, so this was pretty much the coolest thing ever when I first saw it:

We didn't have any real guitar stores in my town outside of Pawns.. but a local CD store had a few of these Axl's and 2 acoustics(and Epiphone and an Ibanez)

Deep down inside, I still want one. They're cheap as fuck.

 

[Olin]

A blue sunburst Rickenbacker 4003.
I would still do some really questionable things for any Rickenbacker.

 

[yellowv]

Still have never gotten a UV or Jem. They were my dream guitars back in the day. If the old ones weren't just crazy in price now I proabably would have. The new ones don't do it for me.

 

[Fenriswolf]

Saw one like this at Sam Goody except it was black and blue and always thought it was awesome

 

[Steve_U1S]

One of Waylon Jennings' leather-bound Telecasters...
That, spawned from my wanting to emulate my father's ability to play and absorbing so much of his musical taste growing up, was at the genesis of my trying out playing guitar; the Tele shape still to this day gets a deep-down reaction from me when I lay eyes on them. Even built one by making the body in Junior High wood shop, and piecing it together over that summer with my Dad's purchasing power/support =]
Eventually covered it in faux leather, which I carved and painted up to look the part; a bunch of years back I gifted my father with that guitar in tribute to his inspiration to me, especially since he always loved that guitar, and the way it came together.

 

[Azathoth43]

Universe PWH: Ever since seeing Rocky George with one I've GASed for one.

Peavey Vandenberg: A friend had one when I was a youth. I've never played a guitar with an action so low and so clear.

B.C. Rich Warlock: I used to be a big Blackie Lawless fan. Emphasis on used to be.

 

[Rypac]

Zakk Wylde's custom ZV Gibson. Deep down I still really want it...

 

[ASoC]

This was all before I learned to hate ToM's

 

[DrakkarTyrannis]

The Gibson Gothic Flying V was the first guitar I ever fell in love with. I now want a Draco with similar specs as a commemorative thing.
