Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA | It seems like more and more of us are coming to the same conclusion. That guitars are great... but the world doesn't revolve around having one particular model or another and that there are a whole myriad of things that are WAY more important. Family, friends, health, stability etc.
If I ever could afford it... I would like to get an acoustic/electric bass built to match my two Adamas' as well as a matching wide neck/ slot head nylon string Adamas (although I'm not sure that would even be possible as the one and only Adamas classical I have heard of didn't seem to go over too well...).
Then I could call it a day... and worry about playing them all as much as they deserve. |

Essentially this guitar...

The "blade" switch is actually a 5-position varitone. The only other mod is possible a fishman strat style powerbridge, but I'm not sold on that idea yet. |

Kinda like trying to put together the "Dream Woman".
And now that that thought has seen the light of day, don't anyone even dare start up that thread. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | NICE! What happened to humble Mike??? [Razz] Stephen: I know you're just jabbin at me but here is what I meant:
Ergo: I'm "Good" = I'm alive (something that has really gotten my attention this year) with a loving wife and family, more guitars and gear than I can play, a roof over my head that doesn't leak, food enough for all of us, and a renewed purpose in life: making sure the family is "good" as well...no better looking...hair and beard have a lot more of that funky silver/grey...my joints hurt like crazy most days...my golf game has suffered...but in the grand scheme of all things...I'm good (older members might might suspect I'd substitute "blessed")...but I'll just go with "good"... |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Let's see...hmmm...must be able to stand up under the occasional hard knock, rugged (though I don't necessarily foresee any catapult-like experiences), fancy trim not at all necessary, aged appearance a definite plus--after all, they have depth the newer ones don't, I should know instinctively that it's "meant for me;" oh...I guess what I'd like in a guitar also reflects a preference in what I'd like if the right guy ever comes along? ;) (Funny how that works....) :D
Actually, I really liked the Professor's shallow-bowled Adamas--lots and lots. I guess one in dark "Millenium" blue??
But, I have enough guitars, a neat little house, a decent job, many great friends, my family and the blessing of lil' folks now--like Music Mike, I also am "good."

A guitar I don't yet own, but covet, is a MusicMan 5 string bass. Not a 'dream guitar' though. |

French polish Wow! Pretty specific. I'm guessing that this is because such a thing -- or something similar -- already exists?
If so, can you point us to a picture or two? Sure sounds as though it's a beautiful instrument. |

And a mere $32,000 smackeroonies takes it away. Quite a discount from the MSRP of $40,000 smackeroonies!

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'm relatively pleased with the guitars I use these days. With only a few exceptions, whatever guitars I dream of are probably more about pride of ownership than searching for improved tone or playability. I spend much more energy on tinkering with the right pedal/amp/settings configuration. |

What is your dream guitar (that you don't already own)?
