Rare guitars that you're looking for?

[Forkface]

a washburn wm526, you just dont see that many. and the ones that do show up are far from decent condition.
theres one currently on reverb, but its red. i want a black one lol.

also, a maxxfly 7. ive seen a couple posted here a while ago, but super hard to find.

PS. oh, the one that i was talking about was Misha's lmao, figures.

The guitar looks stunning, but that 7th string ball end sticking out kind of bothers me, it will damage the guitar's finish with pulls/pitching up the strings with the trem...

One of those white ESP Amott Vs or one of the Ltd 600s with FR.

There’s one on reverb now

I mean, I have a number of conventional uncommon guitars I passively look for, but actually "rare":

I remember yearning for this in the Nintendo Power sweepstakes well before I played guitar and I still want one. A textbook example of a complete and total waste of a gigantic wad of cash and decidedly a novelty, yet... I want. I think it looks killer and if you don't think so then that's just like, your opinion, man. Coincidentally I'd like an ESP/J Frog Skull n' Bones, too.

Yamaha YG1212. Oh man...

There is nothing wasteful about a Mikau signature guitar

Older SLAT3-7 in natural finish. There's even a WTB thread in here that I bump from time to time just in case someone here has one:

That's a big part of why I (stupidly) sold mine. The Parker bridge won't accept string gauges over a 0.58, meaning if you want to use anything heavier, you either drill the bridge out to accept larger gauges, or leave the ball end exposed like that picture.

In hindsight I should've just accepted the limitations of that guitar and kept it, because it was absolutely one of the best guitars I've ever played or owned.

I don't think boring/reaming out the saddle end would be that big of a deal, no? Those Maxxflys are so killer!

 

[DoctorStoner]

Always wanted a K7 and/or Gator Green BFG. But I don't think I'd ever pony up for either unless it was a steal.

It absolutely nukes any resale value for one, replacement parts are getting harder and harder to come by and more expensive when they do, ultimately I decided it wasn't worth the risk. Too much to go wrong on a guitar that valuable.

 

[technomancer]

I'd love another Ibanez JPM90HAM, but can't see myself paying what they go for these days

 

[TheBolivianSniper]

A KKW7 without the tribal shit just showed up on Reverb

The only 7 string non strat shape with a kahler thst I know of

I literally cannot get it

wtf world

 

[bugrakman]

As a person with Apex1 for almost 14 years, i've been always dreaming about Ibanez K7 (especially BG). Maybe one day..

Both of these guitars belong in the funny guitars thread, but they're cool and I like them

Oh I also want one of these

Is this made by the old deicide guitarist? If yes there are some horror stories with this guy.

Nah it's Neal Moser, those guitars are pretty monstrous even if they look weird as hell. The guy can get a little strange but his skills are legit. I'd consider the BCR custom shop even as expensive as it is rn since he's back leading the team, apparently building as well still. His stuff when he left BCR to do his own thing is generally kinda funky like that and the bastard V but very good and generally pretty cheap if it's not coming from a BCR enthusiast.

I don't think so. He did design the Beast and then some beast alternative with Moser though
