What is your "white whale" guitar?

The problem is I can't know if I'll like a guitar before I have it in my hand and plug it in. So the white whale thing, I've sort of given up that way of thinking. If I start drooling over something I think "you know it might not even sound good" and let it go.

I was lucky enough to own one of these. Unfortunately It was terrible and didn't have an original neck but The graphic was beautiful though. Maybe today I'd love it.

Thats' a shame. Did it stay in the UK? I seen a user on jemsite who owns one in the UK but the post was a few years back now so it could be anywhere now.

There's a couple other graphics i would settle on from that series so i may end up with one of them at some point.

Even the Studio version is being posted for sale as high as 8,000 USD. It was 1200-ish back when it was new and in production.

Then again, the plot thins as it's due to some weirdo people on Reverb.

ESP Standard Horizon NT-II in reindeer blue. These are complete unobtainium and I have given up on ever finding one for sale. If you know of one someone might be willing to part with lmk.

This one is pricey, but listed in-stock, and the FAQ says to send an inquiry on international orders.

I actually went to a guy's house to buy a guitar about 2 weeks ago and he had an S6UC on his wall. Small world.

Sounds to me like you went there to buy the wrong guitar then

What did you get?

OG Juggernaut in sparkle silverburst would probably be mine, the new ones don’t do it for me at all.

 

[Musiscience]

I’m not sure there is such a thing for me right now, as I’m quite content with my guitars, but it used to be this PRS. The ship has sailed though, as not many were made and used ones go for insane prices these days.

Managed to get my two white whales last month and this month. RG5000SG and RGP550 in Lazer blue. Not sure if those count because they were both limited runs. I would love to get a Maxxas, but fuck me are people charging out the ass for those lately.

All I want is a ESP CS Alexi Scythe.

 

[Emperoff]

All of them. This could very well be my wallpaper

Tried many guitars, 6's and 7's and many different pickups. Moving between guitars is tiring so want a do it all axe.

My do it all axes would be:
Per Nillson Singularity 7 - $6k AUD (made in indonesia? No tremolo)
Mattias El Ekhundh Apple 8 - $9k AUD (Would prefer multiscale)
Aristides True Temperament 7 - $5k AUD (Would be a custom order)

Seeing how I can buy a True Temperament multiscale fretboard for $1k and I really want a floating tremelo and only one of the does have that I am tempted to build it myself. However I would jump on these 3 if I could. Just scared to drop more than $5k.

Someone has already posted the Yamaha RS-7 and that is a guitar I would buy regardless of need.

Super rare guitar is the Meegs from Coal Chamber baritone Yamaha SGV. Never went into production. Probably 3 exist? Such a shame.

Hamer GT (Glenn Tipton).

Holy shit I didn't know about the Meegs one! Yamaha has had some crazy shit on tap.

One among a thousand other ESPs, though this one grabs me pretty good:

I think there’s one of these for sale on Ishibashii

 

[Samark]

Missed out on this in late '22. Went for $1400USD.

I've seen at least one for sale before, ain't paying what they're asking though. I'd rather go full custom in that range.

Technically an off white whale. Yes these are available but pricewise for me that ship sailed long ago...also I don't play 7 strings anymore

It's not that the guitar is particularly nice looking but it is Glenn Tipton sig

 

[Fenriswolf]

Honestly...probably the most basic white chick 5-7-8 guitar

It seems like I can find that exact guitar, other than it's an ESP with different inlays, or it's the exact guitar just an EII. Or I'll find that exact guitar, check my bank account and have a whole big bad 75 cents to my name.
