Re: If money were no object...
A guitar that I'd love to own would be one of Jimi Hendrix's ones. I think one of his old girlfriends has got one of his old guitars, and know one else has touched it since he last did - that's pretty cool.

Money no object huh?
Right:
Starting with acoustics, I'd scour the world for well played, preferably 15+ years old examples from Lowden, Olson, McPherson, Manzer and Martin. Some newer pieces from PRS, Santa Cruz, Collings, Taylor and Froggy Bottom.
With Electrics, I'd become Molly and pile through shedloads of them, filtering out the ones that stuck.
The vintage pieces would be chosen either for being amazing or having interesting provenance and a cool story.
Then there's the building to hold this Aladdin's treasure........

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

He was not just a prolific guitar player. He had lots of girlfriends. Maybe there are lots ex's out there with stuff of his. One of them even has a plaster cast of Jimi's knob that the most dedicated fans might afterAiRdAd wrote:A guitar that I'd love to own would be one of Jimi Hendrix's ones.

Ha, pheeew! Yeah, I remember Krist N and Dave G from Nirvana saying that whenever they saw a lefty they'd just buy it for Kurt because whenever he got a new guitar he'd write like crazy.Molly wrote:That's a good answer!

It's certainly the thing I think about most when purchasing any gear.
Will it inspire me?!
a) Yes. Buy.
b) No. Don't.
c) if I answered b, then remedy it by finding a bit of gear with which the answer will be a.

Yeah, not much gas here anymore. I have fender tweed, I have marshallish quad, and I have helix frfr.
Guitars don't make me drool anymore - though maybe a good ibanez with a floyd, thats what I'm missing but even then not that bovvered.
