What is your electric "dream guitar", even if you don't have it. (Page 1 of 2)

fender has a powerhouse strat that is awesome! i know its generic but its so versatile it can play ANYTHING with the right amp. if i ever get another acoustic I'll probably be something quality, I'm not exactly sure what...

A black Fender stratocaster or a silverburst Gibson Les Paul.
I have looked at other guitar makes and models but none seem to suit my functional needs like those two.
And it seems like the knock-off brands cost just as much, so why not get the real thing...

Edit: I'll take this knock-off please.

Mine is either a dean flying v, or a gibson melody maker

I'd have a Fender Stratocater with a floyd rose tremolo (can you get them with one?) in a three tone sunburst.

Also a worn cherry gibson sg would be nice.

just got it. an '06 fender american deluxe stratocastor. its a medium tone wood with a turtle shell pick guard. spent way too much money but dont have a wife to tell me not to.

Didn' defintely expecting so much answers, but I think it is somewhere logical, even with 100$ you can purchase a guitar. EBAY is at this moment a prominent seller.
I live in Europe, purchased some guitars, even a "CHINESE FAKE LES PAUL". And this chinese is not so bad at all. I have even a proposition, because they are maybe good, the feedback is terrible, BUT, there is somebody I know, he likes that guitar so much, used it 4 times on stage, and he wants to buy it. I am even able to ask the price, you purchased it for 1$, but you had to pay 200$ transport. He keeps that guitar for a few weeks, and will have every single $ back.
I have somewhere a topic concerning guitars and divided in 3 main chaptres
- cheap, but good, and a very affordable price.
- in betweens, from 500$
- expensives.
You should check it out on that site and read the topic. It took me a few hours to put my topic accurate.

my dream guitar is a epiphone X-plorer gothic series. But it's not a dream for much longer! I'm savin'my pennies and iv'e almost got enough!!!(fingers crossed)!!!

mine would probly be a blood red firebird or a sunburst les paul    oh and that pic up there is awsome     ^

This will probably sound crazy to most of you but here goes: A Fender Jag style body, Gun Metal Blue or any other color that nobody else has or at least really rare, with only an Atomic Humbucker bridge pickup and just an On/Off switch, no tone or volume just On/Off. Rosewood fretboard (personal preference there) and those cool split pin machine heads (the ones where you stick the string down through the center of the pin not through a hole in the side).  It would need a tremelo or "Whammy" for good effect even though I don't really use mine right I just dive bomb at the end of sets and stuff.  A small to medium sized Class-A to create the full effect.  Between 20 to 40 watts I think is the sweet spot for the size clubs most of us probably play at.  Most of the clubs have been anywhere between 500 to 1,500 square feet! (punk).  I like my Fender Deluxe Reverb but any well built Class-A will do (Orange, Vox, any many many others...).  In my opinion the idea is to be able to set the amp anywhere between 7 and 10.  You want the tubes to scream for thier lives and the lower wattage won't give anybody brain damage!

My top four would be these:
1.) Gibson SG Supreme in emerald burst finish
2.) Gretsch G6136T White Falcon
3.) Gibson ES-335 Reissue in cherry
4.) Fender American Special HSS Strat

The Gretsch is obviously the most expensive, but I love the looks of the emerald burst SG.  I once saw a guy with a lime green Strat.  I don't know if it was a Fender or a knockoff, but it was pretty sweet looking.

My dream guitar, if I could do it, would be something custom made, in the shape of a Gibson SG, but a one-piece body, made from the best mahogany I could find, preferably something aged. Basically, a custom version of my own SG, with an ebony fretboard and Gibson-level finish.
