Christmas Wishlist $$$

I'm not rich, in fact i'm far from being rich moneywise. But there are some guitars that I just now that someday I will have to buy them. Luckily what atracts me on guitars is also the realtion price/quality. i.e. I love the Fender Stratocaster American Deluxe, maple neck, sunburst body, but the price tag, even used is  easily over €1000, so it is still a dream guitar, but simply less desireable for me, basically cause i'm realistic about it. So with christmas around the corner, I took the liberty of making my guitar wishlist. In my opinion these are the guitars that are most wanted in used condition right now. Keep in mind i'm no headbanger metal fan. I do like it and enjoy playing metal, but it's perhaps 5% of my total play time. Metal directioned guitar are just beautiful. You can play anything on them though.

                                                                                                                                                         

ESP LTD MH-327 STR

with 27 XJ frets with flamed maple top in See Through Red (STR) finish. Mahogany body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, Seymour Duncan Custom-5 (bridge) /Hot Rail (neck) pickups. 

this is a metal monster (but very versatile, both humbuckers split into single coil), i love the tilted hot rails and the angular finish on the end of the neck. this one s a beauty and red ones will are definitly more desireable and the used price reflects that.

                                                                                                                                                        

  
GODIN REDLINE 3 

Body has silver leaf maple centre with poplar wings
2x active EMG humbuckers: EMG-85 (neck) & EMG-81 (bridge)
For me it had to be with a maple neck, either natural, orange or the lovely green finish. There are some unique features on this guitar apart from the wook used. the active EMGs make it also a metal machine overall, but then you get peculiar things live headstock 3x3 and the body feels quite small compared to most of the guitar outthere. I tremolo is Godin, but it is one of the best copies i've seen. Although i prefer the maple neck on this one, i prefer rosewood for playing heavier stuff.

 

 

                                                                                                                                                          

IBANEZ RG2610Z

I've been wanting one of these since i layed my eyes on it. Normally i would think that black on black with dark rosewook is boring, cause, we've seen this for years, but this one is a sweet thing.
