If you had the money to buy any gear out there what three things would you buy.

I would buy

1. A top of the range PRS.The finishes on those guitars are incredible.

2. Gibson collectors edition. Gibson are doing a thing where they get famous guitarists to loan them their old gibson and they replicate it. Even down to scrapes on the paintwork old drill holes for the tuners.They sell for around £5000. Look stunning and suppose to play amazing.

3.Ibanez Jem.

What would you buy

Suhr Guthrie Model (Baked neck or something). I guess its not on sale anymore.

1. PRS 513.
2. Brunetti Amp.
3. Workshop + Tooling for building my own guitars!!

Good choice mate



I would love to learn how to build guitars and having a workshop with all the tools would be incredible.

Just curious eh? Well being an Ibby nut and never having owned a jem.....


But if I was really looking at spending 5k I would skip all those to be honest.

I'd avoid anything off the rack and have a custom Daemoness built from scratch.

1. To order Charvel San-dimas custom(1 humbucker, green alder body, maple neck, 1 volume knob, floyd rose)
2. Marshall plexi amp.

Just googled Daemoness guitars Todd. They look like absolute monsters of guitars. I can see why you would want a custom one. Nice choice mate.





Marshall Plexi amp

It's not as difficult as you might think, even with some basic tools!!

Posted by: TreyDeschamp May 8 2013, 03:53 AM

I'd probably go with a custom Daemonness guitar made, a custom PRS, and home studio made.

If I had a lot of cash right now, I'd get a PRS which I'd keep in standard tuning, but if I had money and a good idea, I'd probably make more money

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 8 2013, 02:09 PM

1. PRS
2. Another Gibson
3. Ibanez
4. Axe Ultra
5. Adams Family Pinball

hahah that's the way to go!

The aristides 010...the ultimate guitar

Posted by: liveOASISforever May 8 2013, 05:26 PM

This looks like a cool guitar mate



I am really tempted to buy a PRS Cosmin. I have had my eye on them for a while now.



What Gibson would you get Gabriel



A home studio would be cool mate

That a first for me. A guitar made out of Aluminum? It's certainly an interesting idea. It's hard not to be suspect of making a guitar out of the stuff beer cans come from, but I'm guessing it must be pretty spiff as they want 5k for it!!!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 9 2013, 07:31 AM

My plot based on making everyone here at GMC buy PRS guitars and becoming PRS zombies is slowly happening Muahahahahahaha!!

Posted by: Sensible Jones May 9 2013, 04:37 PM

As far as I'm aware Tokai made the first Aluminium Bodied production guitar. The Tokai Talbo, released in the early 80's. As used by Girlschool, Tim farris (INXS) and a few others. Admittedly, they didn't sell in large numbers or become hugely popular!


Previous to that Travis Bean built an SG style guitar with an aluminium neck, a favourite of Gerry Garcia (Grateful Dead):-

Kramer experimented with aluminum necks for a while too, starting in the mid 70's.

probably a 335 style guitar
A luxxtone hot rod strat
and something else (not a prs though)

Posted by: Sensible Jones May 9 2013, 11:32 PM

Indeed, how could I have forgotten that!!!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 10 2013, 07:52 AM

Are these guitars completely made out of aluminum or just the neck?

Posted by: Amp360 May 16 2013, 08:01 PM

This is not correct. Veleno was the first company to make an aluminum production guitar. They're really, really cool. John Veleno started making these in 1972 and a lot of big name players used them - from Dolly Parton to Ace Frehley to Sonny Bono to Marc Bolan to Greg Allman.

If you want to split hairs I suppose you could say Rickenbacker's Frying Pan was the first, but the Veleno was the first regular solid body guitar made of aluminum.

If I could get any new guitar right now I think I would get a Monteleone full acoustic archtop.

For old stuff I would really have to think about it.

Posted by: Sensible Jones May 16 2013, 08:06 PM

Thanks for the correction!! I'm surprised that I haven't heard of these before! Now I have ot go do some research!!

Posted by: Amp360 May 16 2013, 08:15 PM

No problem! They're not very common but they were a production guitar and are very, very cool. I didn't know about the Tokai you mentioned so I have to do some research about those.

Posted by: AK Rich May 16 2013, 08:17 PM

Honestly I am not at all sure of what I buy, but it would be tons of fun to walk into a top quality music store with a wad of cash, knowing I could get anything I wanted. I may have to go there everyday for a week to demo stuff before I could settle on three items!
