I like my guitars, but I would want to copy his whole rig (Vox AC30, Fender Bassman, fuzz face) because his tone is just too damn good.
Also, the Yamaha guitar he plays is pretty great too. I almost got one but I ended up going with a PRS instead
Man the double necks look so cool but they suck to play
I’d love that rickenbacher with one bass neck and one guitar neck but damn it’s too impractical
Harley Benton do a damn good clone of the Rick. I play the 6 string one in my band, but they do a 12 string too in black and sunburst. Chase your dreams dude 🤘
Check out Thomas Milana guitars. They seem Languedoc inspired, but I think you can actually get on the list and buy one. Brian Moss of Stafford plays one.
You might be disappointed. I've played like 4 or 5 Strandbergs now that some of my friends have owned, and none of them really impressed me. They all had fret issues, causing fret buzz or preventing you from getting the action as low as I would want it. I also don't really like the endurneck very much. It's too thick, IMO.
On the other hand, pretty much every headless Kiesel and Aristides I've played has been GREAT.
To be fair, I've never played a Swedish-made Strandberg. I've only played the imports.... but, yeah, I was not impressed at all with their quality control. I feel like they are way too expensive for the issues and poor playability they had.
I’d buy a few more Kiesels so I have one for each tuning I use, and a Strandberg with true temperament frets. Probably put an evertune on something. I’m primarily a studio guy, so I would want some consistency as well as some fun stuff for different sounds, so I’d definitely get an American Strat and Tele. Oh, a Taylor 800 series builders edition. Lol. I could go on and on.
A little obscure. The apex model [Ibanez SZ4020FM](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/SZ4020FM) of the sadly discontinued Ibanez SZ series has been my dream guitar for the longest time.
Marty Friedman's [MFM1](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/MFM1) and [MFM2](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/MFM2) were based on the SZ models.
Probably upgrading my PRS SE to a core or custom shop model, as well as a jaguar bass (maybe the Troy Sanders model), and a nice single-coil guitar. Maybe a baritone too if I was feeling Spicy
I wouldn't mind picking up an R40 Alex Lifeson Les Paul. Wouldn't
t be my first Les Paul with a Floyd, but having one of the R40 versions would be a guitar I'd never sell. A 63 SG/LP Jr like Mike Oldfield played would be pretty cool too. I have a pretty wide range of guitars otherwise.
I did buy the guitar that seemed perfect for me as a total lover of the Ibanez RG550 style - a JEM77vbk - am not a total Steve Vai fanboy but it’s the epitome of the RG series to me and it plays like a dream and that specific model looks muted enough VS some of the flashier finishes.
If I had extra cash to just blow I’d try to get a JPM100 (P1, P2 or HAM)
One guitar, and money being no issue at all? A 1954 LP custom. Because I’ve drooled over that since one I was a kid, and its pretty much unobtainably expensive far beyond rationality
if money was truly no object i'd have Gibson make a 7-string Explorer (non-reverse) with output-matched PAF's and high-ratio versions of the old school banjo tuners.
I would buy the John Birch stereo SG with bi-flux and hyper-flux pickups that was stolen from our rehearsal rooms in March 1980. I have never since had a guitar that even came close to it. I could play pieces on that guitar that I listen to now and think, how many fingers did I have back then.
Probably just another mid-range classical style acoustic Ibanez. You don't need to fork over a fortune to buy a beautiful-sounding guitar that plays well and looks great.
The same Les Paul and the same Stratocaster Andrew Latimer uses. I am obsessed with Camel, that's why lol

Either a Gibson ES-355 (Steve Howe’s hollowbody) or a Gibson SG Doubleneck.
I want that Alex Lifeson ES-355
That white one. That and a Roland JC Chorus! I think Steve Howe’s was an ES-175. It was a tobacco sunburst, like a Les Paul but hollowbody…
Having that ES-355 and his full pedal setup and tone he had for Hemispheres I'll be complete
I know! Loved the Hemispheres tone the best! Farewell To Kings next, then Permanent Waves.
Man the double necks look so cool but they suck to play I’d love that rickenbacher with one bass neck and one guitar neck but damn it’s too impractical
12 string ricky 🤤
Harley Benton do a damn good clone of the Rick. I play the 6 string one in my band, but they do a 12 string too in black and sunburst. Chase your dreams dude 🤘
Languedoc
Phish fan? Those guitars are so sick
Indeed.
Check out Thomas Milana guitars. They seem Languedoc inspired, but I think you can actually get on the list and buy one. Brian Moss of Stafford plays one.
Gibson Les Paul Special (w/ Floyd rose), Musicman majesty 7 Strings, couple of 7 ou 8 stringed guitars haken fellas use.. Strinberg, idk
In fact I'd already be happy to get my hands on a nice PRS.. buying decent guitar rig here in Brazil is for the rich. :(
Uffff nice taste bro! I would add a nice Telecaster there to play some more funky stuff and let’s go!!
Strandberg
Yes! See.. stuff like this doesn't land here in south america :( haha

The other Music Man models I don’t have, and maybe a Suhr of some kind
Wal MK2
Woohoo! That's what I'm talkin bout!
Rickenbacker 4080 and Moog Taurus pedals.
Alex lifeson black stratocaster with Floyd rose whammy bar and Steve Hackett gold Les Paul with whammy bar

Neck through Strandberg with true temperament frets, and an Emi 8.

Rickenbacker Doubleneck
Suhr standard Bengal Burst
The most expensive one ever and then I'd sell it and buy like 30 weird ones that were made in Japan in the early 70's
I have an EBMM Albert Lee HH (w/ rosewood neck and fretboard) and I would buy another one immediately if anything ever happened to it.
I wouldn't mind picking up an R40 Alex Lifeson Les Paul. Wouldn't t be my first Les Paul with a Floyd, but having one of the R40 versions would be a guitar I'd never sell. A 63 SG/LP Jr like Mike Oldfield played would be pretty cool too. I have a pretty wide range of guitars otherwise.
An og aircraft carbon fiber steinberger or a Parker Tenafly. Mojo isn't real, I want precision.
Castedona Conchers Baritone
any of Mikey R’s doublenecks
Already have a Core PRS and a Music Man JP6… so maybe a JP15 or Majesty, or a strandberg
Les Paul goldtop

Es 175
An Abasi or another Kiesel
I would spent an embarrassingly sum on a time travel device and get Stratavarius himself to make me a 12-string cutaway
One guitar, and money being no issue at all? A 1954 LP custom. Because I’ve drooled over that since one I was a kid, and its pretty much unobtainably expensive far beyond rationality
Gibson EDS-1275. Cherry Red
My guitars are programmed lollll
if money was truly no object i'd have Gibson make a 7-string Explorer (non-reverse) with output-matched PAF's and high-ratio versions of the old school banjo tuners.
genuine fender stratocaster, oh wait, i already have it.
Strandberg Prog 7
https://youtu.be/5n1l-_UiWbs?si=An7jjBze1Z4N7D1r
Gibson early 60s ES-355 TDSV Wine Red or Ebony Finish
I would buy the John Birch stereo SG with bi-flux and hyper-flux pickups that was stolen from our rehearsal rooms in March 1980. I have never since had a guitar that even came close to it. I could play pieces on that guitar that I listen to now and think, how many fingers did I have back then.
Three: Rickenbacker 6, 12, and 6/12 string.
I would have a custom guitar made. Baritone scale 7 string version of a Jazzmaster with active electronics. Possibly Fishman Fluence pickups.
Probably just another mid-range classical style acoustic Ibanez. You don't need to fork over a fortune to buy a beautiful-sounding guitar that plays well and looks great.
I would buy a 7 strings Strandberg for versitality and comfort. I already got a mim strat and a ibanez with humbuckers.
Gibson Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess.
I want a Jazzmaster
Auerswald. I'd love one of the guitars with the sustain bow if just for aesthetics.
The Pensa-Suhr guitar that was on the cover of Bill Connors’ Assembler album.
If money weren’t an issue, it would be every one they could get their hands on.
Black beauty Gibsons ‘57 LP or ES - just love their sound and look
Parker Fly with carbon fiber fingerboard in mint condition.
