I'm quite happy on the guitar front. My next one will likely be a build/assembly too. I've just been offered a slab of blackwood or walnut, I'm thinking a Tele.

I'm actually here scoping out all the guitars I am going to steal. Admittedly I joined in 2006 and haven't stolen anything yet, but I'm playing the long game...
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Loving my blackwood tele :) I've made a start on its rosewood brother - my office is coated in dust from neck radiusing and body sandy lol...
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

You're building your own Tele neck from scratch?

A Johnny Marr Jaguar and/or a Martin D-28 (probably have to sell some other gear first though).

There's a JM Jag on TM at the mo. The guy's asking over $1k more than they usually go for. Suspect his Mrs told him to sell it.

Sounds like he's got the undeniable hankering for some high-end chicken...

An Asher tele. Maybe one like KNNZ's, or one with kiln fired swamp ash.

I'm thinking strats at the moment. It's been a long time and the only one I had was an old japan model with the weird tremolo. Have to be HSS I think.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

I'd like something with humbuckers, maybe an SG or LP junior. Actually I quite like the look of the 60's Melody Maker, you could potentially replace the singles in one of those with a single coil sized PAF, that would be a sweet and probably fairly affordable vintage guitar:

Those are rad. Lollar make a drop in replacement P-90 pickup/pickguard combo that requires no routing.

Or, you could buy an 1964 Gretsch Corvette for an extremely affordable price, and do it up with buckers or filtertrons or p-90s. I happen to know where one such example lives...
