Guitars you wish they'd bring back...

Howdee,

Hopefully I can get the pics up.

I could have and should have gotten this a few years ago:

The ESP Ltd Hybrid II.

The Jackson Surfcaster (various types)

In fact any type of Jackson without a pointy head would get my attention, as any Jackson I have played always felt great...

Ibanez Jem777 LNG :

Bright green with pink pickups, yellow knobs and a maple board, what's not to like?!

Of course, this was the first Jem made ('87), if they actually re-issued it, they'd likely charge 10 grand or something

Gibson V-90

Fender starcaster.

The lead guitarist of radiohead was just about the only (good

) guitarist to ever use it. It's very good for jangly indie rock, similiar to a thinline telecaster.

Very rare though, it wasn't received very well by the public. Was only in production for a few years.

Bizarrely, my friend's Dad has an old skool Jem. It's in hot pink rather than green. And he's in his late forties. It's pretty awesome.

Ibanez Destroyer (explorer shape)

punchdrunk · 08-03-2009 11:21AM

wouldn't mind them bringing the Marauder into the fold either,(only 8 ever made)
it would be easily done with modern hi-gain pickups

here's some info

Welease · 08-03-2009 12:51PM

Is it my eyesight, or are the frets on the front one angled? Be interesting to try that one..

Someone over on offsetguitars.com is building a maurader. It's harder than you think... interesting thread on it.

Dord · 08-03-2009 06:04PM

Black paisley? Ewwww....

rcaz · 08-03-2009 09:02PM

I like how the one Jonny Greenwood fan gets pointed out, this place is crawling with Steve Vai fans, is it not? :P

Plus about nine million on the Starcaster, it's such a beast of a guitar.

Ravelleman · 09-03-2009 12:14AM

I find the idea of a middle aged business executive playing a hot pink, 1980s Jem far more entertaining than Steve Vai could ever be!

Fender Performer Bass......

Only lasted a year but what a bass!!

Doctor J · 09-03-2009 11:36AM

The BFV-58.

Gibson Flying V Custom ('Black Beauty')
I'm not usually into pointy guitars, but this is just beautiful.

The tobacco sunburst one is beautiful!

Doctor J · 09-03-2009 12:33PM

The diamond jack plate is cheese de-luxe though :P

Dord · 09-03-2009 01:30PM

Yep, totally. They should have put a recessed strat type on the inside of the V.

BuddhaJoe · 09-03-2009 03:28PM

Strat Plus, esp the surf green model!
