I'm dying to get a left-handed Martin 000-15SM.
The real "Holy Grail" guitar for me would be a left-handed Vox Mark VI, but that isn't possible due to the fact that they were never made lefty. :(

Distortioncaster :D


I've played one! They're made by Brian Eastwood who lives about 25 miles from me in Rochdale. When I was at tech college there we used to sneak off to the music store instead of going to lectures and play every guitar the staff would let us get our hands on, one day it was an Eastwood Distortocaster.

I can only assume you had been drinking rather heavily when you made that post.

There is two guitars I really want that I call my Holy Grail. I want to order my own Custom Shop Strat just to say I did and a Gibson Les Paul Standard Goldtop to add to my collection.

As for Custom Shop stuff ... I've always wanted a three pickup ash body Telecaster in Mary Kaye white, Bare Knuckle BG50 pickups and front and back contours like a Strat. I keep pricing this up from Warmoth but it's just not the same. Fender Custom Shop or nothing.

What? Custom Shop?
I wants me an Alder Strat, cherry oil finish, relic,
chambered body with breathing hole on back,
hard tail, Fat 50's, hand engraved pick-plate
with the Tao Te King pictograms and naked maiden.

This is my '71 SG Pro - it has a history, but who cares - a P-90 screamer:

Just dropped an amp repair back to a fella who let me test the amp with his LP Junior. Really hankering for a double cut, single P90 in TV yellow at the moment.

Have a single cut sat in my lounge at the moment but the less said about it the better.

Wow an interesting topic to say the least. It's tough to decide because there're so many guitars out there with their distictive sounds, shapes and feel. A Fender Stratocaster, before the 1970's headstock and CBS's ownership, maybe a middle 50's/60's relic that's in mint condition, with a maple fretboard, ash body vintage tail-piece you know the rest. A Gibson Les Paul middle 50's/early 60's relic, also in mint condition, (before the SG came out), non-chambered, rosewood fretboard, mahogany body, either a P-90's or humbucker pickups. Any Gibson Archtop in mint condition with either one P-90 or one humbucker in the neck. Most interestingly a Rickenbacker 330/6 from the 50's/early 60's, relic in m.c. that's not a thin-line one, one that's thicker than most Rick's but still semi-hollowed. Any Martin dreadnaughts that are relics in m.c. 8)

I couldn't remember the name of the company who manufactured that guitar, guessing it was a Guild(so I went to ebay hunting for a similar guitar). I knew it wasn't 70's made in Japan because of the quality body wood under the white. Great guitars. I have seen MIJ copies, which are probably decent.
