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

[No Soul]

A gibson L5-S, unless Keith Richards counts as hard rock, but hell most of you probably dont even know the L5-S.

Id go for most of the finer jazz box type guitars though, even though I cant/dont play jazz, I just LOVE the way they look.

Id also cream for one of John Lennons Rics.

Also, having the original Merle Travis solidbody would also rock some serious colon.

Ibanez used to make an Artist doubleneck with a swampash body, bound ebony boards, and very ornate vine inlays in the fretboards. Denny Laine from Wings played one in the 70's. I believe there may only be twelve of them, but I'm not sure. That would do it for me. My wife has been told repeatedly over the last 10 years that if I ever see one for sale I will buy it. Here's a link to an old B&W pic of one:

I also wouldn't mind having a PRS hollowbody or a Soloway Swan, both with piezos.

 

[Metal Ken]

I dunno, call me insane, but i never dug the swan. i'm sure they're good guitars, i'm sure... but i just dont see the hype.. O-o

did you hear the clip Jim Soloway posted of him playing one of his guitars?

i really dug it. and, having a jazz guitar around might push me to play more jazz, which i enjoy, but haven't played much of since i left high school, where i played sax in the jazz band.

I am all about the old 80s PRS Custom 24s. I have a couple but NEVER enough !

I would like to get a McNaught original Phoenix before he started offering them as the Phoenix model. That guitar is sick, sick, sick.

I would also take a few pre-war Martin D45s.

I've had the strongest urge for a Schecter six-string recently (yeah, it's known for metal, but it's the only non-seven I'm GASing for). I'd slap a set of 11's on it and tune it to C.

I'm particularly attracted to the C-1 Hellraiser in black cherry, the Omen-6 in electric blue, and the C-1 Exotic in natural.

You're not insane, but you do need to file an explanation

So... why this guitar?

 

[Jeff]

C-1 Exotic in natural.

Dude, you NEED the exotic. A guy at work just bought the black satin stain one, and it fucking rips. Seriously. Sells for $699 (I think) at your local GC, but trust me, you can get them much cheaper if you try and talk them down. So grind 'em down!

 

[darren]

Hmm... just one?

I've always lusted after the original Jackson Phil Collen model. But if that's too rock/metal, a PRS hollowbody in tiger eye with piezos will suffice. Either that or a nice Tom Anderson.

 

[Laren]

An electric sitar - sounds soooo cool!

Yesterday i saw a pair of the PRS 20th Anniversary Standard 24 model, one in Vintage Cherry, the other in Vintage Mahogany... gorgeous guitars, and not too outrageously priced (about C$2300) for a limited-run PRS model. I loved the "birds in flight" inlay, too.

On the other end of the price spectrum, the SE Soapbar II in Tobacco Sunburst also caught my eye. For some reason, i've had a hankering to try guitars with soapbar pickups lately.
