I want....musical instruments: 2012

    Yup,

    I'm looking to get a Martin 00015 or a 0015, all subject to playing them and choosing one! This is top of the list for me.

    I'd also like to change my fender blues deluxe for something else, not sure yet...

    I also need to get a tenor banjo.

    Now, those are my priorities. There's a long list of "I wouldn't mind having....."......

    First up would be a guy around Limerick who modifies guitars to bouzoukis and a shop in Nenagh sells them on. I would love to play one!!

    Another one would be an Eastwood Airline (resonator folkstar). These sound sweet, but only going by youtube vids. I would love to crank one of these with a big muff.

    I would also love to have a nice acoustic, wide necked mandolin...

    But those are just luxuries at this stage. The Martin is the one!!

    So what are your instrument desires for 2012?

    Definitely getting a Hot-Rail or some other form of singlecoil humbucker style pickup in the bridge of my tele, hoping to get that over with at the start of the year.

    Other bit's like a new head, possibly something like the VHT Ultra 6 or Blackheart Little Giant.

    I'd love something from the new Fender Modern Player series, but to be honest all of the p90 equipped guitars have more hum than a wasp's nest, but the tele looks interesting.

    A Roland SPD-S! They don't make 'em anymore so I'll go second hand, but I reckon one of those, a bass drum, snare drum some hihats and a ride cymbal would be a really great kit.

    Also a decent controller keyboard, thinking of an Oxygen 49.

    They have a replacement coming out, the spd-dx, if that's any use to you.

    For me the main things I have to get during 2012 are a good acoustic and a nice tube amp. Then about another million things that I don't really need and can't afford.

    I've my eye on a few guitars at the moment but I don't have the money for anything now so I'll be a good while saving.
    I'd like to get one of those yamaha pacifica 611 models. They have a fairly wide variety of sounds wide a coil tapped humbucker in the bridge and a p90 in the neck. They are well speced and pretty affordable too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIaAtO6OABE

    I've wanted one of the Charvel pro mod So cals for ages now. I need to get one! http://www.thomann.de/ie/charvel_pro_mod_so_cal_style_1_hh_sw.htm

    I've been looking at the Strymon El Capistan pedal too. Not cheap by any means but all the sound clips and demos I've heard so far have been amazing. I think I could just about justify spending that much on a great delay pedal.
