What is your dream guitar that you'd love to have one day? Or maybe you've already got it, and if so what is it? For me, ever since my old guitar teacher played to me his PRS Custom i've wanted one, and i still want one now! The problem is, they're fair from cheap, ranging from around £1500 - £3000. Fortunatly the prices have gone down slightly on them, but i still have a long way to go. For no particular reason i've managed to save just under £800, so i won't be getting one anytime soon. Also i'm only on a part time job as i'm at college which doesn't help tongue.gif. Christmas is coming up which means i'll spend a bit, but on the upside i'll get money for christmas as well. I do want to buy a guitar next year, but i don't see it being a PRS custom for a while tongue.gif

My dream guitar is a JEM with EMG's, a hotrail, with locking tuners and a killswitch.


but if I can go wild, it would be a modeling guitar that doesn't require batteries, with a floyd and an LP structure. also, its made with left-over wood from noah's arc.

its the button that can be fitted into your guitar that kills the other guitar player you're dueling.....


No, it sends the signal to ground so the volume goes down to 0 for the duration that your finger is on the button. It can be used for dramatic effect, ala

Definitely a custom PRS, or a custom Carvin, but I also want this.

The price is not nice though, musiciansfriend.com says 2500$, but it will cost twice as much in Norway.
When I get rich I'll get one.

The Uncreator
A custom Ibanez Guitar.

Flying V Body, nice and sharp. Custom paintjob by Luis Royo( Black body, with one of his paintings on on top), 7 strings, Edge Pro 7 Tremelo, Dave Mustaine Livewire pickup in the bridge, Dimarzio Evo for the neck. Black hardware.

I would also like an Ibanez Xiphos, same as above, but with a painting by Joseph Linsner on it, still a 7 string as well.

Where can you buy a killswitch? I searched it but didn't really get any results except for Killswitch Engage.

you have to install a killswitch yourself. theres how to sites and videos everywhere.

Well I know that that Fender has one build in and so does the Les Paul BFG, but I was wondering where I could just buy the switch not a whole guitar.

While installing your own isn't difficult, and I don't know of any configured as a button like that, you can get Les Paul's with an up/down killswitch.

Yeah i'm fine with my JEM77B though, I like it better.

Also, do you know where I can purchase a killswitch on the internet.

You know that Squire doesnt look that bad especially being all Alder body.You could just replace the bridge and tuner's and you would have a sweet guitar.I wonder how much it costs to have a killswitch put in a guitar you have already custom done?Might have to find that out

technicly theres no such thing as an official "killswitch" its more just a guitar mod.

In fact the switch itself is just a red button (regularly on) you can buy from radio shack.


you can have a killswitch setup on any guitar with two volume knobs. just set one to all the way down and the other to all the way up, then switch between the two, though this method is a lot harder to work with. I can sort of do it with my hellraiser, but nothing beats an actual button you can press (because its faster)

My dream guitar would be almost the exact guitar i once owned and had to sell about 5 months ago.A jackson USA Soloist with Pile of Skulls paint job thats now discontinued.I would want a early 90's one that was made before Fender bought out Jackson,also i would want it to have all gold hardware and speed knobs.I would like H/S/H set-up with Duncan SH-6 Distortion in Bridge and a Sh-2 jAZZ Humbucker in Neck.Guitar has a really fast thin neck that's awesome for lead and shred.One day i gotta get it back!!!I had the same guitar only difference was it was made in Japan and cost me $1000,.00 insted of like $2800,.00

Thanks Andrew
Yep that was mine in the picture.That was the most special guitar i've owned other than the old Martin.I put so much time into getting that thing where i wanted it.I put a SH-13 George Lynch Screamon Demon in it at first then i put a SH-12 Dimebucker in and was on my way to having the perfect guitar for me.I'll definatly get another one oneday thanks to Ebay laugh.gif ,But i will have to pay twice as much as i did the first time.

I actually really lucked out getting this guitar cause i traded a Martin D-16GT at the guitar shop for the Jackson new.Around here its very rare for a guitar shop to take a trade on there gear ,but ofcourse Martin is a name that speaks for itself biggrin.gif and it was a really fair deal.

I think that this guitar will be one of the ones that go up in value with time just based on the paint job that the custom shop no longer does.I swear its even more pretty in person laugh.gif
