we've all been in the situation where we've loved with a guitar but couldn't have it for what ever reason (mostly price)... my situation isn't really a price issue as it is a regional placement issue and at the same time a discontinued guitar issue... there are 2 guitars that i absolutely love but they became really rare to come across (shame cause i love guitar models from the 90's) the ibanez talman and the fender cyclone but i guess i'll never have one of both... so what about you guys? what guitars do you dream of having and what keeps you from having them?

knock on wood, but if i wanted it i found it and bought it.

Hi Ralph, I know where there is a Talman for sale about 45 minutes away from me. The guy wants $225 Canadian, its a burst and it looks to be in good shape, not much fret wear. If you're interested in persuing it send me a private message and maybe we can work out some way of getting it for you

no i mean the solidbody electric guitar talman... the noodles signature model (NDM) is based on the talman

Hi Ralph...I'm in the Portuguese area of Hamilton believe it or not!!! The guitar I referred to has lipstick tube style pickups..is a three colour burst with a maple fretboard and a pearloid pickguard, not sure of the model number, all I know is its from the nineties...don't know the year off hand.
