Reverb Contacts You…

And they have decided to give you one purchase of any piece of gear on their site. The catch is that you cannot flip it and has to be a keeper.

So, what would you choose? Post a picture and a link. I’ll go first:

1954 Fender Stratocaster. This would NOT be a case queen and I’d play and gig the crap out of it.

Fender Stratocaster 1954 | Reverb

As the year that started it all, Stratocasters from 1954 are extremely collectible and prized instruments. Full production on the Stratocaster did not start until October of that year, so earlier examples exhibit a great deal of variation and are generally considered prototypes. It was ...

Yeah, the ‘54 I posted is listed as “mint,” despite flaws in the finish.

Easy.

At $250K, it's "Honorary Mint".

Bucket list model right there. I should have picked on up when they were first released. Ridiculous prices now.

This would most certainly be it. Though I’d want a fuck of a lot more verification than a “long letter from the family” and 4 pictures of nothing indicating a serial number or anything identifying it’s authenticiy. At this point, you’d need someone like @Eagle or @hogy to go through it and verify it’s legit and not a well done knock off.

Oh, I’d be flying someone out to see it. @Eagle would be able to tell me whether or not it’s a park bench.

I'm a cheap date. I'd settle for a Gibson R9 Murphy Lab. Especially something this Wildwood spec lemon burst.

Or one of the original Chris Cornell 335's:

I had one. Paid CAD$700 for it in like '92. Sold it in '96 for CAD$1000 to pay university tuition. Told myself I'd just buy another one when I was done. Had no idea how rare they were.

Absolutely sick!

I'd probably pick some vintage Fender or Gibson as well, because they are a bit of a "once in a lifetime" things I'd never buy otherwise.

Maybe if someone is selling a Dumble that could be a potential option too. I like those type of sounds but not enough to spend the money on a Dumble style amp from some other manufacturer. Most of these are kinda gated behind huge price tags for no other reason than "Dumble sound".
