So, I think there should be thread about everyone's favorite instruments that they wish they had.

I would definitely have to say that I would love to have a Ken Parker Archtops Olive Branch. Too bad it's $30,000 and I would never be able to justify that even if I had an extra $30,000.

I also love the Parker Fly and will actually be able to buy one at one point. I've played one and it is the greatest guitar I've ever touched.



I know it makes me sound like a Ken Parker fanboy, but I really do love those two guitars.

How about you guys? What do you wish you had?

the reactable

my dream costum modular synthesizer with this and that, plus tons of moog sound modules for polyphony.

custom ESP telecaster, custom ESP explorer, with seymour duncans, not those EMG's. and they would be running through vintage club 50 crate amps, modified to be even more amazing.

I think I'd have to call a dream about custom shop ESPs and Crate amplifiers a nightmare.

ESP did make great strats and teles in their "Vintage" series. I owned a couple of their strats and they were excellent, the telecasters were decent.

Speaking of Telecasters I just bought a Suhr telecaster. Its the bomb. Best telecaster I've ever played by FAR. Even better than the few I've made. I feel I can match John Suhr on strats but not teles.

oh please.

custom shop ESP's are amazing guitars. vintage crate tube amps, with upgraded tubes and speakers, are amazing as well.

Custom shop ESPs are good guitars, but there are WAY better out there. I'm channeling sam when I say that Suhr and Vigier are examples of ultra quality guitars.

I'd take a Mcpherson acoustic, Vigier excalibur, Suhr 24 fret, 60's Les Paul custom, and a Dell'arte maccaferri.

i know there are better out there, but a custom made ESP would do me just fine. i doubt anyone really needs anything better. i guess i'm a poor dreamer.

Harps. Like the ones angels play in heaven.

Sir, you have opened my eyes to Ken Parker's quieter side.

A thanks is in order.

I would do almost anything for one of those.

I saw Bjork's men use that at the BDO. It was amazing. Watching videos of it on youtube now, thanks for naming it I had no idea what it was.

Instruments I dream about..

Suhr Standard

Vigier's Shawn Lane Master signature

Custom Les Paul. It would have an ebony fretboard with a DiMarzio Air Norton in the neck and a DiMarzio ToneZone in the bridge.

Ibanez J-Custom.. I forget which one.

I also want an Ibanez PGM301 too.

Amp-wise...

Marshall JCM800 Silver Jubilee. The 2555 model

Mesa Triple Rectifier Solo Head

Laney VH100L

Just about any Cornford..



What couldn't you do with all that?

Play some drums.

drums are the most boring instrument i can imagine.

I can play drums. I have a PDP MX series kit.

That's cold.

I want a cello so bad it hurts, but they are so fucking expensive, thousands of dollars.

I'd settle for a violin.

Have no fear, cheap chinese manufacturing is here.

An Accordion. My Mom played when she was younger and I am insanely jealous and slightly pissed that she didn't keep it all these long years. I think it's one of the most gorgeous sounds in the history of noise. If I could get my hands on one [and play it] I'd be all over that shit.

Ahhh, the magic of eBay.

just any instrument jimmy page has played... impossible to get, but a man can dream can't he?

What difference does it make if someone else has played an instrument? It's not like if you got all of Jimmy Page's gear you would sound/play like him. The only reason to get gear owned by anyone famous is to sell it to losers who will pay out the ass for gear that isn't going to actually be any different.

well he is my favorite guitarist, I am very aware I wouldn't sound like him, it would just be nice to have one of his used guitars. Now, what I would really like to do is make my own guitar, which i plan on doing. I am getting a mentorship with this guitar expert, and he teaches me all about how to make one and will help me. I can't wait.

hondo h1 from the 80s with a dimarzio x2n and a floyd rose, possibly a scalloped fretboard?

jackson RR1

gibson les paul bfg?

matamp custom 100 watt head

marshall 1959RR

and 4x12s to the clouds
