I have gas for many things, but one thing takes the cake. Just steals the cake, eats it, throws it up and eats it again. That level of gas. It's an ancient and long term lust.

Yes, instead of lusting after the KSR head, the new mini 6505 lunchbox, the mini mk5, any Ormsby/Skervesen/Mayones/Boden/Carvin... Instead of any of those. My lust has fixated upon the incredible guitars of Palm Bay. For nearly 10 years now in fact.
Last night I discovered they are offering a left handed hardtail model on a very limited basis (they have two left), and this hibernating GAS exploded to a finance ruining level. These things are rare full stop, and a lefty is just stupidly rare to find. I love these things, the colors, the specs(minus pickup rings..), THOSE INLAYS, the headstock is just awesome looking. It just looks like a guitar I want to play forever. My guitar teacher when I was a kid had a teal green Tidalwave model and it was literally love at first sight. There are plenty of superstrat guitars out there like them specwise, but its just something about these Palm Bays I just love.
Until last night I lusted for a Mesa Boogie mk3 or dual rec but this just blows it away like a nuclear bomb. I will have to buy a cheap modelling amp instead I suppose, and only after the Palm Bay.
Oh god, I tried one the other day, and it was amaaaaazing.
Had the widest nut I've ever felt on an electric (1 3/4th inch, apparently 44mm+ wide?) and a fairly slim neck, but it stil felt really damn good to play. I really need one.![]()
