While we're waiting for Bogey's exciting announcement, someone here who shall not be named, but who's handle may or may not rhyme with SchmoredSchmo, tried to get me to buy an awesome guitar that I really want but probably don't need. Fortunately for my wallet, but not my collections, it got snatched up while I was dicking around thinking about whether I really needed a third LP, or which LP I'd sell to make room for another LP.
In any case, it got me to thinking about my checklist. The guitars that I would like to have, but don't, that would make my collection "complete" - as if such a thing were even possible. So what are the gaps in your guitar collection as you see them? I'll start:
I don't have any Rickenbackers. I'd love a 360F, a 360-12, the oven knobbed version of the 325 (like Lennon) and/or a 4001.
Gibsons, I don't have a mini bucker guitar (like a Firebird, say). I also don't have any ES-335/45/55 variation. Definitely need one of those. And ultimately I think I'd like to trade my LP r8 for an R9 or R0. I just prefer a little thinner neck, though every time I pick up my R8, I wonder why I ever say that. So that's probably why it's still hanging on my wall.
I have no Gretches either, so maybe a Duo Jet and/or a Chet Atkins.
Finally, I have no actual Fenders in my guitar collection, just partscasters with maybe some Fender bits on them, but definitely with Fender inspiration. To remedy that, I'd like an Electric XII and a 73 Telecaster Deluxe, preferably with a tremolo.
Now you all go.
