For fun thread: If you had a limit of 5 grand...?

[snowdog]

A LP style from McNaught or Nik Huber. (may have to add a few bucks)

 

[Bob Savage]

Not sure but it wouldn't be a single $5k guitar. I could buy 2-3 guitars that I'd like for that money.

This:

Steve

And one of them would probably be a star body!

I'm seriously considering a gear sell off so I can buy some guitars and build me a couple cabs. Items potentially on the block:

Paisley Super Shiva (Shiva-Japan) and matching 2x12
Argosy console/desk
Vigier
Axe-FX standard

Not sure on these but I'm wanting guitars and this is the only way I'm going to get them.

Probably a down payment on a new vehicle. Either that or a few Billy Blades amps.

A few? Couldn't you get like a 12 pack for that much?

He is big time now.....Not even sure if 5K will buy even one of the SnakeFangs

I'd go to various places, play guitars, find a LP, a strat, and a tele that was "right" for the money that could be afforded with 5k.

[Metlupass2]

A blue TA Drop Top and spend the rest on cocaine and booze.

 

[NS10Fan]

I'd talk to this fella and get something delicious. www.onyxforgeguitars.com

Anyone have any experience with his customs? I haven't heard/seen any outside of the interwebz, but they are some of the prettiest guitars for certain.

 

[Rock Bodom]

If I had to maximize the 5K on a single guitar, probably another R0 Lester or a custom shop ESP MII.

If it's just a pile of cash, I think I'd get more value with another Amfisound custom, with the remaining money going towards another Caparison Horus.
