    Dream guitar. Strat shape. Neck through, hard tail, dual humbuckers, 2 octave neck, wired like a Gibson with 2 tones, 2 volumes, wide low frets, mahogany body and neck with ebony fret board, all from trees that were struck by lightning. I haven't thought about it much. I need a workshop. And a sawmill. But first, a winning lottery ticket. And yeah man, that old Fender sounds great. The wood improves with age. Lightning really speeds that up.

    I rescued my telecaster from under a friend's bed. It was in a shopping bag, in bits, gathering dust. Some idiot (not my friend) had hand sanded most of the paint off the body. The frets near the nut, looked like somebody had hit them with a hammer and chisel. Took it to a luthier, who put it back together. It still needs a paint job, but it plays great and sounds fantastic. Love my Telecaster :)

    Dream guitar would be a 70's Stratocaster, the ones with the large headstock and three bolts. Ritchie Blackmore is one of my biggest guitar heroes and the older I get, the better he sounds to me. You probably feel the same about Jimmy Page. I played mostly Ibanez and other shredder style guitars for the first 15 years of guitar playing, but I've been getting more into classic style guitars (Fender/Gibson) in the last five years or so. Beautiful Esquire, Robert! You into Bond movies? Maybe name her Honey Ryder?

    I don't have 'A' Dream guitar.
    I want a PRS that I've fallen in love with, hasn't happened yet. I pick them up they are beautiful, exquisitely crafted and setup but always there is something that doesn't click.
    I want a Les Paul that I'm in love with, as with the PRS I just don't click with any I've tried or owned.
    I want my old 73 Les Paul back, but for sentimental reasons, I really didn't play it.
    I want a Tom Anderson, I fell in love with one and didn't get it... /sigh but it's gotta do the same thing.
    I want a Music Man Silhouette, another one that got away and no other one has hit me the same.
    I have a custom design in my head, that would require a machinist, in addition to the rest of the skills. Maybe one day /shrug.
    I could keep going, but reading someone else's dreams might be boring you so I'll leave it there. :)

      I can relate. I’ve clicked with 1 prs. But I couldn’t afford it at the time. And I’ve had a couple Gibson’s, but they end up sitting. If it doesn’t demand to be played it doesn’t stay

      Totally agree. Had a PRS. Didn’t bond with it so sold it. On the day I let it go, we plugged it into my newest amp and it sounded amazing. I’d been thinking about the tone ever since. 5 months later, found a nice McCarty 594 that has put my LP Burst reissue out of job. No, it doesn’t looks as cool as the Lester, and I will still gig the LP or lightly relic’d teles and strats. But the PRS does play itself and sounds stunning for recording. Even the coil taps sound fantastic. Also the best put together guitar I’ve ever owned. So they can grow on you.

    I just bought my first American made PRS. My dream was to have an American made guitar. I've been playing for 12 years now, and am 26.
    I adjusted the action immediately and put heavier gauge strings on it. They set in with the action PERFECTLY. That didnt mess up the intonation at all, it's such a nice guitar.

    Im too broke to buy new guitars. I feel like a drug addict. Im always looking around the house for things I could sell to buy one haha.
    My dream guitar...right now is a Gibson Les Paul 50s, AAA maple top. Ohhh god yah. Honestly any gibson les paul would be a dream to receive.
    You’re a kind soul Robert!

    A 1995 MiJ 50th anniversary Telecaster in vintage white, absolutely stunning guitar. But of course any guitar from you would be a dream man.

    I’m going to one up the guy with the Ibanez Dream JEM - my dream guitar is a 1987 JEM in Lochness Green. The one Vai is holding on the 1987 Ibanez guitar catalog.

  • @SnowyFinland

    That's undoubtedly the perfect Telecaster. God, that sound. It's unbeatable for a single-coil pickup guitar. Baker has things figured out.

  • @kylecourtney7232
    @kylecourtney7232 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My dream guitar is definitely a 1964 JB Hutto Res-o-glass Airline. Totally because of Jack white, but I love the tone of those plastic guitars. Awesome Esquire!

  • @abeharris9938
    @abeharris9938 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    my dream guitar is actually a matched set of American Fender Strat and Tele in Natural Ash finish. I love the look. I have a Roadhouse Strat thats actually fairly new to me ( christmas present ) but I've been looking at teles but to get that natural Ash body is a wee bit out of my budget. Especially now with the state of the economy. Rock on Rob. you always make me feel like i can keep going as long as i have a guitar.

  • @bobsmith1965
    @bobsmith1965 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its so cool to see someone so happy about a new/old guitar. You are killing it with the Jimmy chops. That guitar screams and I will guarantee this thing has never been put thru the paces like you've put it thru in the last week.

    From the moment I saw your Friedman telecaster with P90's and the black pickguard, I knew that I just had to have a guitar like that at some point in my life, it's nothing short of awesome in every way. Thanks Robert for the opportunities you are giving us and good luck to everyone in the giveaway!

    My dream guitar is a 1982 LesPaul Custom, black with white binding. I was born in 1982, and that guitar used by Kirk Hammett in the Cunning Stunts live was the main reason why I stop playing the drums and started with the guitar :)

    Dream guitar: 59 Strat. Maple neck.
    Also: early 50's esquire. Maple neck. Not blowing sunshine here. They just have a certain bite to the sound.
    Same with the LP DC Jr with a single p90. It just has so many tones in such a simple setup.
    I agree with what you said about single pickup guitars just having something more or different than when there's a neck pickup in the loop.

    Congratulations on the guitar! Man, I cannot believe anyone gave you trouble about giving your strat to Jim. That was a very cool thing to do. The blue guitar should be named “Stan”.
