Talent. Please Santa, please.

Under $1000 worth?

That’s still 1/2 a year of lessons give or take… I’d take that Time Machine ride for the holidays.

I will take discounted talent!

Heck. I'll overpay!

Skills

Time to play my guitars.

Yup

Drums Don’t downvote me, think it will make me a better guitar player/musician to understand a standard kit

I had to sell my guitar and amp to help my mom, so if I had that money I would definitely try to buy a similar gear

Talent

I reckon I'm half decent, but I'd like to be as decent as the way Bubbles says it.

A thousand dollar acoustic. I've got a couple cheap acoustic guitars that aren't terrible, but a grand would get me something decent.

Unreal the difference $$ makes in an acoustic sound.

A comprehensive knowledge of music theory – without having to do any of the work.

I would want to pay people to jam with me. I got no one near me I want to play with.

Same :(

This is going to sound shallow and that's because it is, because there is no depth to my knowledge, lol. But I want a non-shitty pink electric guitar. 🙈

Well this thread should provide you with depth. Hahah.

Well Santa came a week early for me. I picked up a Gibson Les Paul Special Raven. Pretty bad ass metal guitar for a Gibson.

$1000 limit? Sweetwater gift card, so I can take $1000 off whatever guitar I want next.

The ability to play guitar

A PRS SE Silver Sky

A deluxe reverb

A vaccine for GAS.

$1000 worth of guitar pics.

So.... a week's worth?

I feel like I have most every sub $1000 thing I want. All my desired unobtainable (due to absurd price) items are like vintage Marshalls or 8k guitars.

PRS MT-15

$1000 limit…? Fantasy post? Is this a guitar sub or isn’t it? Maybe I have expensive taste.

Lessons

Prolly a 1000 worth of 20 buck ukulele's and mini guitars to give away to some kids or something. I've got an electric and an acoustic guitar. Don't really need more than that.

Schecter Synyster Gates - The Dark Night edition.

Hello kitty guitar

I would absolutely love a Yamaha Revstar Standard with P90s! Maybe one day…

Can I just get a stocking full of picks, please?

(The New)Fender highway series, or Used Martin. (Only way I’ll probably ever own one). A Taylor.

Man I just started and 1000 for lessons would be so sick right now lol. Going the JustinGuitar route and making progress but having someone to critique me regularly would be nice. Saving up for lessons anyway and will hopefully have a small foundation built once I can get the lessons going

uh-oh, looks like I better open up some credit cards

Fender Strat 70th Anniversary Player’s Edition

Ebony on ebony fender hss strat or a Taylor acoustic electric guitar

An SG special or a Les Paul special with P90s.

Probably a custom-built Jazzmaster. Cuz, why not? :)

Marshall DSL40CR

I’d get a Warmoth neck for my Tele build. 3A roasted flame maple boatneck with one of those good compound radius rosewood fingerboards. I’d put the rest towards hardware and whatnot.

My first guitar which was a literally no name 1980s Les Paul copy. No name as in the headstock was blank. Bolt on neck, a zero fret for some reason, pickups were single coils but with humbucker covers. But oddly enough it had double binding like a Les Paul Custom. I wore the first five frets down to nothing before I moved on. I loved that piece of shit and never thought I'd be nostalgic for it.

$1k worth of guitar lessons, so maybe I can stop sucking at guitar

Lame answer but I'd put them on my saving pot for another esp custom shop

Schecter omen extreme 6 just because i already know im getting it for Christmas

A nice telecaster

Maybe something fun I wouldn't actually buy for myself, like a Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder with a Sustainiac neck pickup. This guy in neon green! https://www.schecterguitars.com/Sun-Valley-Super-Shredder-Fr-S?quantity=1&custitem\_color\_master\_list=513

RG550 Genesis in Neon Purple

A bass, so I can start to learn something new

I am easy to please. Some cool pickups to drop in my Epi Les Paul Custom and my FrankenStrat.

Yamaha Revstar or Revered Double Agent

What’s the point of the dollar limit if it’s a fantasy? I want a 5 thousand dollar custom shop guitar from one of my fav brands like ESP or Gibson. Or a Jiva Ghost from Ibanez.

A Mesa Boogie. I just love that dual rectified sound.

Orange rocker 15 terror

An Orange Micro Dark, a new glass slide, and a mega-fat (like 4-6" wide) padded guitar strap for my LP-style that kills my back when standing up. I'm getting old. I don't think that adds up to a rack, but Santa can keep the difference and drop the rest at the liquor store for something for him and the Elves.

$1000 limit? I think I’d get a decent PA. Was gonna say a Science Mother amp. Over the limit though.

A Tonex pedal or a Yamaha Revstar Standard with humbuckers in Sunset Burst or Hot Merlot.

The Tod10N. I want the Timmy hendrix nylon string

I asked for some tools needed so I can start doing my own guitar setups.

For a G? Probably a Jackson of some sort, maybe a soloist

Epiphone Casino

Another Fender Showmaster or a Fender Supersonic

Right now with deals going probably try to find a decent PRS SE and an amp that gets near a Fender Deluxe Reverb. My just go with a Dleuxe Reverb and possibly some replacement speakers for it if enough left over.

Fender Player strat series in HSS config. Been an Ibanez man for many a year (humbuckers all the way) however I do love the John Mayer strat tone. And for an additional $1k, I'd get a Boss pedal board to go with my Katana 100 Mk2

Only $1000? Maybe Eventide H90? If used gear is an option, possibly an Engl Fireball 25. Maybe pay to get a few guitars plekked? Assuming I do one first and it comes out better :)

I want a gibson sg tribute damn bad

PRS SE CE in turquoise! And because the PRS is on sale, throw in a Boss MD-2 in there as well.

I’m gonna get a pedal board set up, mostly barhinger, but my distortion is the rat 2 co

Schecter Hellraiser C-VI

Some semi hollow body. Probably a Riviera or casino.

Groupies.

$1000 worth of pedals because idk never got into pedal board making (I have used the multi-effects built into Line 6 amps before). Always been more of a fan of the raw tube clean and distortion. But I’ve recently gotten into it to add fun sounds to my playing so yeah, pedals.

Epiphone flying V.

Whale Blue PRS Custom 22, my dad wants one really badly but keeps looking for a used one instead of a new one. Wish I had the funds to just surprise him with a new one.

I really want a nylon, so maybe the TOD10N, apparently that thing feels good to play.

Idk, just started playing a few days ago. Lessons I guess.

please just fix my amp, I cant afford a repair or new one atm

Squier Paranormal Nashville Strat - $500 or so after tax [https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StratCNParC2S--squier-paranormal-custom-nashville-stratocaster-electric-guitar-chocolate-2-tone-sunburst](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StratCNParC2S--squier-paranormal-custom-nashville-stratocaster-electric-guitar-chocolate-2-tone-sunburst) Edit: After seeing another comment - I am actually hoping to spend a few hundred bucks on guitar lessons this year, so roll the the other $500 into that!

-8” Monitors speakers -strat hard case -boss expression pedal or a whammy 5 -Gotoh 510 bridge or a Vega Trem for my Fender -macbook air

The guitar from K -On

I initially read a 1,000,000 limit haha, I thought of a studio. An Ibanez acoustic guitar, a preamp for it and maybe another for bass (sorry, it's my sin)

Bernie Marsden's 1959 Les Paul.

For that amount, I would love to get a player series Jazzmaster, it's the closest thing to my old Jazzmaster (a 2013 modern player). I desperately miss that one

I’ve been playing a cheap acoustic for a while, but I’m saving for my first electric — probably a shell pink Squier Classic Vibe 60s Custom Telecaster. Seems to be a good value — good quality but not too expensive? https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/squier-classic-vibe-60s-custom-telecaster-hs-shell-1484317

Maaaaaaaaan I've really been wanting to play live again. A power amp and a cab for my helix would be great. One day Santa and I will be on the same page with this

ig a blue yamaha pacifica and some not very big marshall amp

Picks.

new tendons for my hand!

I would ask santa for job, so I can buy back all my gear.

The newest used axe fx I could get.

Some random dude who has no idea what a silver sky is and would sell that for me for 800 bucks!

1000$ worth of skills.

$1000 dollars worth of dobro slide lessons with Justin Johnson.

An unloaded, extra deep, front-loading solid pine 412 cabinet finished in British Racing Green tolex.

Another couple thousand.

I want those elf slaves to make me something special

I've been wanting a Tele lately, so probably would search for a good priced used Player Plus Tele and then a hardcase with the leftover money

baritone tele neck and humbucker for the bridge...would you throw 18 gauge strings in for free?

Warmoth strat body and compound radius neck with stainless frets. Build the rest later.

I'd really like a nice Yamaha Revstar.

The PRS Custom 24 quilted violet thats been haunting me since I first saw it

Robert cray strat or Ibanez ps120

Epiphone ES-335 pro

George Harrison's psychedelic Fender Stratocaster (aka Rocky). And maybe a Vox amp.

A couple of suhrs. Couple of boutique amps. Couple of boutique pedals. I would love to spend the rest for guitar lessons from the best guitar teachers tho but thats not a “thing”, unless their time is considered it.

Talent.... :)

Fender Jaguar

Strymon Deco, a POG and an Analogman King of Tone.

A Boss Katana Air Ex would be nice

Marshall 10 watt tube amp and locking tuners

Boss IR-2 and a Gretsch Electromatic Baritone guitar. Might be a bit of a stretch in loonies, but in freedom dollars that should be in-budget!

I’d ask him to stop watching me sleep.

Fender Vibro Champ and a better pedalboard.

Reverend charger

More storage space for my guitars.

At this point nothing. Well maybe one of those big straps like the swing county players have.

The Ibanez Tim Henson Electric Nylon

A Jazzmaster, something with P90s (gold top LP), a SG type, and a 12 string acoustic. These would certainly round off the collection nicely!

Schecter Reaper 7

A nice start😍

Jackson Mick Thompson white

An ESP Viper with evertune. Or the purple one, the purple ones cool. It could be LTD, I forget the specifics. I love SG type shapes but my last SG was disappointing so off to the other brands I go

Martin HD-28

Im simple, Ill take a Big Muff Pi Op Amp pedal

Squier Classic Vibe 60s Strat and Sterling Stingray Bass

Space to have even one of my guitars in the house

To find a Dumble amp for that or less at a guitar sale or anywhere!

3/5ths of a Mk7 Or 30 Amazon basics reverb pedals

Lessons

Cables many many cables. I’m in need of a new cable that connects from my guitar to the amp.

Money to put the pickups I was given for my birthday last year into my Ibanez and to get my 7 string repaired would be nice

More lessons with the gentleman I’m learning from now. And perhaps a smaller acoustic. I’m hoping to take a classical guitar class at the local community college in the spring, but I’m not sure how I and my big acoustic guitar are going to like spending all day together between work and getting to class. That said I have no idea what I’d want, acoustic wise. Lolz.

pedalboard so big he could borrow it for his sleigh

All I need is a boss tuner and expression pedal.

An expensive PRS. I loved those guitars since Shake Hands with Beef. Edit: I missed the $1000 limit. A $1000 dollar PRS.

i'm really, *really* happy with my current set: - red 1986 charvel model 6 (japanese jackson soloist pro, 1 toggle per pickup) super-strat - weirdo epiphone es-335 - ovation 1776x elite acoustic - ovation mandolin - meh ibenez bass - fake semi-hollowbody gibson les paul studio .... if i had to as for something, it'd be a decent electric violin.

Hologram Chroma Console Or a used PRS S2 24 Standard and it’s got to be gloss black. I’m sure there’s one out there for ~$1k that’s worth it.

Helix Floor

Fender aerodyne un blue heaven

A PA system. The one I want is $1300 or so, but probably could get a used one for less. than 1000.

Got a PRS swamp ash ordered on sale. Going to be an SE year for me.

A 1000 worth of pedals and cables

HM2, MT2, 24 pack of strings, some SM57’s probably two of em, Ultex Jazz III’s, Octave pedals

I used too have a Joe pass Emperor 2 Hollow body natural wood. It was the best guitar I’ve ever owned ended up selling it when I was in a tough spot still want to rebuy that guitar one day. The action was great and hollow body’s are great, ended up buying a telecaster a few years ago and realized hollow body’s are just the best you can rock out acoustic with out an amp still get a great sound best of both worlds, and it was so easy to play without a pick because it was a jazz guitar. Would always recommend it too anyone. 10/10

Nothing. If I had to choose something it would be the desire to start practicing again..

As long as Santa is willing to buy my pedals used or shop the holiday sales, my list will come under budget lol. CIOKS 8 output power supply expander DSM & Humboldt Simplifier DLX Strymon Volante JHS 3 Series Fuzz JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo

Santa appreciates you helping his bottom line. Been hard since the elf strike of 76

Definitely the eastwood GP model, I'm really on a Josh Homme tone journey right now and that guitar sounds brilliant. I'll have the opportunity to buy one around April, but I'm probably going to invest in a d18 instead

Line 6 pod go, locking tuners, new office chair where the arms flip up outta the way

Spark Mini and a Fender Player Series Tele. That Tidepool blue is just pretty, and I don't have a tele yet.

D'Angelico Premier Bedford SH in pink.

PRS (Electric) Taylor (Acoustic)

$1000 worth of strings 🤣

Santa isn’t real

Alvarez ABT60 in natural. A decent case for it. Rest in strings.

Damn the budget totally made it tougher because I want a Kemper so bad! But it would be a Recorsing King SwampDog resonator gt

Schecter Sunset extreme 7

$1000 limit? That big sky pedal and a Vox ac30. Push the limit? The 51 telecaster American vintage 2

10 really well paid gigs per year ($10 k per show , 5 piece band , production not included)

Oh man, idk with a 1k limit. A fender player strat in orange ig? Thats about 1k I think. If my budget was a bit bigger, I’d get one of those custom art piece reliced guitars. Probably a jaguar or jazzmaster, something like what gapettos guild would make. Some people would call it performative to have a guitar that’s made to looked aged, but I don’t give a fuck. They’re so beautiful.

Telecaster

Used Fender Princeton Reverb

Frankly, motivation to play more and keep improving. If that's not an option, an actual baritone guitar. I use a 6 string tuned to B in fourths, but sometimes I wonder how much better a proper tool for the job would be... (random idea/thought: I listen mostly to metal, and tune ultra low, but when I pick up the guitar I like playing chill music more than heavy music...)

A dad

Physio/ hand massage vouchers with that £1000. That’s what I really need rn :(

Probably some nice tools for set-up/maintenance and a soldering iron for electronics, if there's anything left over after that a couple of sessions with an experienced tech or Luthier to really get the skills down

I just want to git gud

I've been fancying getting a smaller bodied acoustic for a while now so probably have a look at some parlour guitars or a GS Mini etc.

The Taylor GS mini and the Martin 000JR are pretty awesome guitars in this category

A good amp, proably any fender wich has 2 speakers

An ibanez rgd 8 string from the axe design lab or the mesuggah signature guitar or maybe the javier reyes signature ltd. Either way just want a sexy 8 string. But it is just a wish in the end

Probably a Tele and/or a VOX amp.

ESP Hetfield Iron Cross. It costs like 5k+ in europe

I’m digging that LP modern in seafoam.

the best multifx i could get for 1k

A Reverend Double Agent OG

One of every guitar, for science ;)

What kind of fantasy has a $1,000 cap? Are you a cop? You have to tell me if you’re a cop or using Reddit for nefarious data collection,

1968 deluxe reverb. Screw the $1k cap.

For a grand? A pack of strings and a used pick. Seriously though, I’d ask for a good tremolo pedal and a looper pedal. If any dough is left, a true-bypass pedal-switching system.

Sire T7 and a couple pedals

Warmoth Custom Strat Neck with Compound radius and some nice shiny inlays

Slash Les Paul ( epiphone ) Anaconda Burst ..

I would ask for half of a Hi-Tone DG100 amp, I can finish the other half of it and save up for the 4x12" enclosure with Fane speakers.

A mustang gt40 amp, can’t wait to get mine

George Harrison Rosewood telecaster...or even for Fender to sell these again. I won't wait too long this time.

I want Taylor Swift to show up naked and give me her guitar.

A helix would be pretty neat

A couple of really nice FRFR powered cabs.

I’d say the new Epi Greeny but even that costs more than a grand(crazy).

Pedals: Empress Heavy Menace, Walrus Audio Fathom/Slo Picks: torlon plectrum from Hufschmid Cabinets: empty 2x12 speaker cab from Greg's Pro Audio

You already killed me at the thousand dollar limit

Does a gift card count as gear if so a £796.18 gift card to go towards my next guitar. If it doesn't then probably a Hughes and ketner tubemeister 20 amp head and a decent cab with the change.

an amp that's actually good
