Name the one non-seven string guitar you'd love to own...

1 more exception, it can't be a guitar known for hard rock/metal


My choice? A Rickenbacher 12-string electric guitar. Ever since I heard the song "Heaven Coming Down" by the Canadian band The Tea Party, I've been wanting to get one of these things and play it through a really warm tube combo, like a Matchless or a Rivera, or a Mesa Lone Star. The guitar part at the beginning of that song is one of the prettiest yet dirtiest guitar sounds I've ever heard... absolutely beautiful.

An electric sitar - sounds soooo cool!

 

[Donnie]

Does a Telecaster count? I've been wanting one lately.

 

[Metal Ken]

Ive been dying to get a 10 string Chapman stick...

Otherwise...
Wouldnt mind that Ibanez Artcore w/ a floating bridge.

 

[Chris]

Big fat ol' Gretsch.

 

[telecaster90]

An explorer shaped guitar. ESP, Gibson, whatever.

Either that or a flying v shaped one.

Teles rule, man.

 

[Shannon]

Yep. I'll take the new Gretsch 6120 Reverend Horton Heat Signature.

Me too . My brother in-law just got one for his B-day . I'm definately taking a crack at his when I go up for vacation !

 

[Digital Black]

I wouldn't mind a 6 string bass or Mosrite Ventures model..

Interesting thread.

A beat up tele. I'd been half-looking for an old trashed vibey specimen for kind of a while until I stumbled across a white '71 in a used instrument shop in Cambridge, right off porter square. Man, that was a seriously cool guitar... the body was chipped up, the headstock was blackened where someone had left a burning cigarette stuck behind the tuning peg... If I was in a blues band I'd have taken it home with me that night, but as it was I couldn't justify $1100 on a six string, and it was gone the next time I went in.

Teles rock.

Good call I love that song/tone. I'm a huge Tea Party fan, have all their albums (including a couple live bootlegs, their EP, their Indie CD, and a promo CD single for "These Living Arms" ).

For me, those Baritone Telecasters that Fender makes look really cool, a 12-string of some kinda (maybe a double-neck), and a few acoustics in various string configurations (6/12/7/14?).

whoops, didn't see this

"1 more exception, it can't be a guitar known for hard rock/metal"

Um..in that case, prolly a Mandolin. Those things rule. A Mandolin or an Ibanez Artcore.

 

[Shawn]

I have it. A strat. It's a must in my arsenal. I rarely pick it up as I should.
I'd like to have a new strat.

 

[WayneCustom7]

Well, I always wanted a Strat(dang you Flo), and a Les Paul, but if I could I would love one of those Gibsons, fat bodies hollowed F's, or even the thinner ones, like BB King's

 

[Jeff]

Godin Multiac steel string. Awesome guitar!

What kinda crap is this?? No 7-string? No metal?

I'm boycotting this thread.

 

[jufob]

Flip-out Strat from Dewey Decimal that is, if he decides to build a flip-out seven-string strat, I then will be forced to upgrade. For me to consider getting a six-string it would have to be ridiculously radical and that qualifies.

 

[MyOwnEffigy]

I've wanted a Gibson SG for sometime now, but I'd gut the pickups, because I don't like Gibson pickups that much. I'd fill that beast up with some DiMarzio lovin'. And, if possible, get that rosewood fretboard gutted in favor of a maple. Its so hard to find a guitar prepared just the way you'd like it. =P

 

[Leon]

i want a Jim Soloway 6string Swan.
