Sometimes, there are guitars/basses that we want, but we just can't afford at the moment. But this makes an interesting topic, how about we list all the guitars/basses we'd love to have, and what we have at the moment?
I'll start (since I'm the one creating the topic):
What I have:
Rickenbacker 660/12TP JG
Fender Stratocaster '62 RI sunburst
Fender Telecaster eggshell white (Mexican Standard)
Epiphone Les Paul wine red (my friend gave it back to me)
Fender Frontman 15R
What I'd like to have:
VOX Brian Jones Mark III 2007 White
Rickenbacker 360/12CW FG
Rickenbacker 1997 FG (standard 2 pickup and trapeze tailpiece or PT)
Rickenbacker 4001V63 FG
Rickenbacker 370/12RM MG
Rickenbacker 360/12C63 FG

Now, if I want this stuff, I better get a job...and fast!

A 21 fret 330 with toaster tops in Monty brown with smaller vintage headstock, black vintage knobs, and gold pickguard and truss rod cover.
Never offered..I can dream.

Sudden beer-driven thought: I wonder if Paul could transform a mapleglo 330 into a Monty?

What do i have.
1. A daughter.
2. A loving and of course loved man.
3. Work that keeps me awake in the night.
Um. Sorry. We're talking gear, right?
1. An old, broken & glued cheap acoustic made in Belarus. If you can play that one, you can play anything.
2. Another old but better quality classical guitar, given as a present by a friend. Almost unplayed because of nylon strings.
3. A Fender Telecoustic. The most played and the most fought for one 'tween Mousie and myself cause it doesn't have to be plugged in to be played. Yeah, laziness is an inherited thing.
4. A small Marshall amp. The only amp we have in our apartment. "Fortunately", as our neighbours would say.
5. A Rickenbacker 650 D. A nice one, would be even nicer if it could be played without plugging in. But we all love and cherish it.
6. A local luthier's project fretless acoustic bass. Yeeeah, i though that since i cannot play solos, i'd manage to learn to play the bass... oh well... maybe some day... Mousie will... when she grows bigger than this damn thing...
7. A kids' electric keyboard. Still working even though was tested by quite a few kids.
8. A harmonica, a few picks, and that's about all.
What i'd like to have: nothing related to musical instruments. Well, maybe a jazz guitar, if i find an empty space in the room...
