Soldano SLO
Maybe a MK IV
That's about it. I'm pretty well set at the moment... ;)
 
I want my CCV
a Mark IV
an Anderson
and Steve's Suhr up above.
 
I want studio gear, and LOTS of it. The problem is all the gear I want is millions of dollars and stuff so I don't think I'll see anything new in 08.
 
How much does a Suhr like that go for? That thing looks f'n amazing!
 
Wow .. wow! Hold on, man! I'm staying in 2007 for 6 more months at least. :gethim:

That's a lot of money for equipment that is going to cost half very soon after you replace it. Are you making money with this?

No and you can say that about every piece of new gear anyone ever buys.

None of my business, but as a person who have spent a lot of money on recording equipment I can tell you that good recording equipment (pres, comps, mics) won't loose their value over years that much if any at all, when computers & converters will become priceless very soon. If you are not making money with this I'd suggest you as a friend to think twice before you spend money on them. On the other hand if it makes you happy - go for it 100%! :)
 
Me too...........


Gary Holt (Exodus) ordered one, it's almost done, I'll post pics of it when it's finished. :thumbsup:
 
i sold a bunch of guitars and gear over the past year and bought 3 "dream" guitars. I've been too busy to play and finally got around to taking 2 to the shop for setup. I'm so excited to get them back and I almost posted in here the other day stating that I'm officially guitar GAS free. I honestly had no desire for any other guitars. ANYWHO, i go to this little shop in town to drop off the guitars. They never have anything. WELL, there sits an 80's sunburst ibanez destroyer crying my name. I've wanted an explorer for so long and they're basically giving this one away. I didn't play it but can't stop thinking about it. The gas is back. When i go back into the shop, i'm going to play it. I'm praying that it's cracked or screwed up somehow. despite the low price, i really don't need another guitar, but... :doh:

it never ends :aww:

I appreciate your perspective, but I need a new computer and converters. That is really all there is to it. I'm not buying the most expensive computer or converters. There is also a good chance I'll be able to buy both used at a considerable discount... Also, by selling one guitar and my current outdated equipment, I won't be laying out much money out of pocket...
