Guitar Bucket List

[jimfusco]

Hi everyone! First time poster, long time reader.

I recently started a video series where I’m documenting my “guitar bucket list” of guitar features (both useful and ridiculous) and wanted to share it with the community here. Note that I’m not selling anything or trying to make money off of this- I just wanted to talk guitars with more people and try to better understand this crazy collection I’m building!

So, I’ve posted three videos so far- I’ll do one for each guitar in the collection and note which features that each crosses off my list. I created a blog for it, too: Guitar Bucket List.

I’d love to hear what’s on everyone else’s bucket lists (these videos explain the methodology I’m using) - I imagine the more I talk to people about it, the more that’s going to end up on the list. And I’m okay with that- I’d really prefer to keep acquiring guitars and NOT kick the bucket!

Hope you like the videos!

1. PRS Core Hollowbody II
2. Something from the gibson CS, numerous options would suffice

Anyone that doesn't own a Majesty, that doesn't say Majesty - is just hurting themselves

I'll say either another Majesty or a JP15 perhaps?

Having owned 250 + over the years and settled on around 30 plus the thousands I have played through work I am pretty sure that that for me I actually have them. It’s amazing how playing iconic guitars makes you realise that it was 100% the owner that was iconic.

1. I was born in 1959,so a Strat, Tele, Jr.,Special,Martin, Gibson Acoustic,and even LP from that year.

2. Older Gibson Flying V

3. Mid 70’s Hamer Standard (Explorer Style)

4. Mid-Late 70’s BC Rich Bich

I'm quite content (and feel the same way as @Warmart), but I would like to someday try a Manson.

I've never had quite a bucket list, it's usually been a gradual process where I'm suddenly interested in say getting a hollowbody, or getting a Tele.

I'm at about a dozen guitars atm and that's already too much. But it's fine to have some luxury in life.

I feel like I'm the only one here but I've yet to own a PRS.

Gonna check that box off this year hopefully

I have fortunately been able to find ways to get the guitars I have wanted over the years. I have a collection of them now that leaves me not really wanting any others. I did just buy a new one this month. That is the first one I have bought in a few years. It is something a little different that I had previously brushed off as something I didn't really like. I started seeing more information on this guitar and got more interested in it. Having worked on many guitars over the years has also been helpful. I have been able to try out quite a few guitars that I probably would not have purchased for myself.

I want to pick up a Strandberg.

Me too on the top part. Haven't found the right one (aka at the right price) nor have I bothered to really look too hard? Ernie Ball stuff has always intrigued me but it is always super cashy in ways that I can't get on board with, no matter how awesome I know they are going to be.

Used S2s are some of the best value on the used market for a high quality USA piece imo

I've been casually browsing used ones from around my area looking for a deal.

The majesty is slowly creeping onto my radar as well

After the holidays are over I might ramp up my efforts..

There are TON of EB guitars that have caught my eye over the years. I have played a few of them at Chicago Music Exchange and ugh

It sounds like a fun and engaging project, and I appreciate your passion for sharing the love of guitars without any commercial motives. I'll definitely check out your videos and blog to see what features you're exploring.

I’m not a collector, I’ve never had a list.
If I did have one dream guitar I would love to own someday it would be a mid-50’s goldtop Les Paul with P90s. But I wouldn’t call it a “bucket list” guitar because I know I’ll never own one.

I was offered a 56 in 99 for £4K and I said no

My Guitar Bucketlist works in reverse. To never again own or play a PRS or a Gibson.

Halfway there.
