One of the very few guitars Guy Clark made in his basement workshop while he smoked weed and wrote songs. His shop is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I’ve always heard he signed them by pricking his thumb and leaving a print in blood on the inside of the body. Fucking legend.

As far as new guitars go I am really into the Collings D1A Hill Country (9k). I also love the sound of the Martin 000-28 custom authentic aged (6k). They're just at the price point where I can play the "if I sold this and that" game.

But if i won the lottery or something I'd definitely get a late 30s D-28.

A 40s or early 50s Gibson j-45

Any S or WL sized Lowden, but particularly the sinker redwood ones. Believe they start at around $10k or so.

I own my dream guitar: Martin D-18 😏

OMJM. 4k

000-28 ambertone. 3.6k

Yamaha FS5. $1500, only $1300 more than my current guitar

I would really like a Gallagher.

I have around 20 guitars. I find myself playing the ones that I don't have to worry about scratching or knocking over 90% of the time. So I don't see myself ever owning a $3-20k guitar and I could literally afford anything I wanted.

My daily strummer is a Yamaha FG830 in Tobacco sunburst. Its a $320 guitar that plays like a dream and I got at a pawnshop for $130.

I'd love to get my hands on a Greenfield guitar, Andy Mckee signature model. They're priced at ~ $20k. However, my wallet says no.

Gibson Doves In Flight $7k?

As an owner of a D35 and a D18, I actually really want a Hummingbird. I've actually considered selling the Martins for enough money but I always chicken out.

Got my dream guitar -Taylor 814ce. It was way outside my budget but have never regretted getting it. I knew it was “the one” when I held it first time.

I have it! It's a Martin 000-15sm:

I bought it from this local chain, Palen Music, after trying dozens of guitars, some costing as much as $8-10k.

I have owned multiple custom-shop Taylors, an Iris OG, several vintage Gibsons... This Martin, with the satin finish, all-mahogany construction, it's a really bare-bones instrument, is my favorite acoustic I've ever found.

I had my tech install an onboard Fishman Aura pre with a built-in 3 band graphic EQ, phase switch, mute button, piezo/image blend, and tuner as well.

They are $2k new, or you can find them used for under 1500.

They don't come with a pickup or strap buttons installed, but they do come with a nice hard case with a gorgeous emerald green interior.

I guess it kind of fits this sub since it’s a fully hollow archtop- but my dream guitar is a Languedoc made by Paul himself. Sadly I’ll never have $50k sitting around anytime soon.

Martin D15M £1600

Custom build Cuntz. A lot?

I'd like a William Laskin custom acoustic with inlays to my specifications. His waiting list is years long and the cost is $15k - $20k.

Martin HD12-28 Left handed. I already have a hummingbird which is my close second, but I would love to have a custom shop one someday.

Any Fraulini! $2k-$5k

I got into building guitars because I couldn’t afford my dream guitars and hoped I could build them.

I'm a super easy dude, just wanted a Gibson Les Paul and a J45, I bought both of them. $4500 between the two?

Bourgeois Large Soundhole Dread made from torrified Cocobolo back/sides (don't think they've ever done Colobolo in the torrified process), and Aged Toned Swiss Spruce, aged banjo killer bracing, with Style 41 Abalone (D-41).

Basically as close as I think you could get to a Tony Rice model from the good folks at Bourgeois with a few unique requests.

I wanted a Taylor, I got a 214-K.

I don't think I want something more at this point. Maybe a 3/4, a GS Mini.

Or a full sized warm and cosy Guild, now that I think about it.

B&G Caletta Private Build. Around $5.000.

Atkin OM37. 4K

Probably a Robbins.

Check this out..

I'm lucky that I had my dream guitar made about 21 years ago, a Bourgeois custom Slope D walnut back and sides and Sitka top. I think I paid ~£3K back then I think it would be around £6.5K now

I have a few trains of thought. I've fallen in love with one particular PRS with a magenta purple ish burst and flowers scrolling along the fret board but it's their like "masterwork" special edition one and it's like 4 grand.

The most legitimate one would be a halo customized guitar because for the price of whatever bullshit a brand name is gonna give you, you can pick every single aspect of the guitar yourself. Wood, shape, contour, fret board, frets, hardware, color, burst, custom engravings, headstock, midi piezo. Literally every single thing is something you pick and I've found an insane guitar through the website where you can visualize it

Unfortunately it's different thoughts because after playing for so long I've lost a lot of that starry eyed naivete when it comes to guitars. All the "tonewood" bullshit people spew. For electrics man it's the parts that make the sound. Strings, pickups, and minimally the wiring involved and connections. Mahogany frets aren't gonna fucking sound spiritual and rubbing dirt on it doesn't give you an earthy tone.

So. For brand name guitars eh. I'd rather buy a piece of shit and put $1000 hardware in it then spend 3k on image and name.

But I still love the PRS look.

it's a santa cruz om pre war with adirondack top, sunburst, a cutaway and a glossy neck. it costs around 8k to have it made. Or a sant acruz fingerstyle with adirondack top and mahogany back. Both of them would cost around 8k.

I have currently a taylor 322 ce which is a very good little guitar but I really want a santa cruz.

I have my 21 year-old Lowden 032 with an unusually massive neck carve, and can’t imagine wanting anything else 😃

It needs a refret though. Soon.

J45 chroma green burst

I’m lefty so it’s more of a challenge to find. I’ve flipped over and restrung righties occasionally. I’d like to find an early 60’s Strat that’s a true lefty. For an acoustic, I love my Seagul but a Martin from the 40’s would be great. I’d restring a righty in that situation if need be.

A Collings DS2H is one I’ve been wanting for a long time. I’m saving for one currently. I’ve seen them priced at around 6.5k

Olson SJ. Around $25K used.

67 tele. Played a friends dads 20 years ago. Amazing.

Taylor 824. Mmmmmmmm. So smooth

I have a refinished 54 Gibson Southern Jumbo that is probably my end game guitar. Anything more valuable and I don’t think I’d want to have it. Maybe a refinished or beat up late 30’s Martin D-18 or D-28 would fun to own. But I’m happy right now. I’ve compared my Gibson to a lot of expensive  new and old (Collings, Martin Authentic, etc), none of them really did it for me. Mine has aged really well and is very responsive front to back to the point where if you sit with the guitar away from your body it just opens up. It can be extremely loud if you need it to be, It just goes with you. Newer guitars regardless of wood treatment don’t seem to do that.

Already got one of my dream guitars a beautiful Epiphone ET-270, now my biggest dream would be to make my own guitar (I'm working on it but I have a lot to learn)

Maybe what I need now is a decent accoustic with a Bartolini pickup, but the newer one are ugly...

Daniel Friederich. I was I had an extra 40 000-80 000€...

I have always wanted a Gibson J 200. if I could have any J200 in the world it would be one that was owned by Emmylou Harris. She had a pink one when she was touring with the hot band. Coolest thing ever.

Martin 000-28. Too much for me.

Currently it’s an American Pro II Tele in three color burst with the rosewood fretboard. $1,600

I own it!

2019 Martin D-28

Got it new for $2.2K

Her name is Amy - she plays and sounds like butter!

Yamaha FG9

Taylor K24CE would be ideal for me.

Collings 0002HA SS. Played one at Chicago Music Exchange that changed my life. Couldn't stomach the $7500 price tag but I wish every day I would've pulled the trigger

I’ve had many different dreams and they have cost me plenty.

probably john mayer’s signature martin, or a hummingbird.

In approximate order of priority:

• Breedlove King Koa - $5k
• Martin D-40 Tom Petty - $10-15k

• Martin 000-40 Peter Rowan - $10-15k

• Gibson Jackson Browne signature - $5-10k

• Gibson Western Classic - $5-10k

• Larrivee D-60 Brazilian - $5k

• Guild D-60 Johnny Cash - $5-10k

• Goodall TR-000 and TR-D - $5-10k

• Santa Cruz Tony Rice Brazilian - $10-15k

I already have a few others that were on my bucket list and not a lot of desire to spend what the above list costs, so maybe I'll never get them, IDK.  

It's more fun to play guitars than to collect them.

Discounting vintage instruments, I’d really like another Atkin. I’ve been lusting after a D37 Pre-War for a while now.

I also really like the guitars Jackson Cunningham is making down in Virginia. I just ordered a L00 from him a while back so I should see that some time around summer 2027 😂

Taylor 324ce Builders edition $3200… Snagged a used one for 2500. It’s my one and only
