It's like the 'What are you listening to?' thread, but for GAS.
I can't get this Ravenswood 12-string out of my head. Looks gorgeous, perfect scale & size and sounds great in the demo. $1,000 seems pretty steep for a guitar made in Indonesia, even though they say they QC them in Chicago. No way I can try one, either. :-\
Keep Calm and Gas On, I guess.

I'd be more than happy with one like that:

Hilariously not happening, though.
I'm strongly considering their Entry Level system.
I have a lot of stuff for sale right now in the local classifieds, production pedals, DIY pedals, and an electric guitar. The guitar is for sale because it's heavy as hell and the neck is too small for me.
From that guitar I kept the pickups (3x "Texas" style Strat pickups in P90 housings) that I once had made and put the original P90s back in, and the Bigsby.
When all this stuff will be gone, I will build a new guitar around these great pickups and bigsby, it will be a chambered Jazzmaster, probably Warmoth, and it will have a fat neck, and a non-glossy finish, probably wax.
My GAS is almost constant - an Orange amp (OR120, OR15, Rockeverb, I don't care as long as it's an Orange), WET stereo reverb, POG 2.
I can't justify (even though I think I am the world's most loose justifier) purchasing any of those items since I already have similar items that are working almost as great, if I were to replace em with the aforementioned ones it would be a 5% improvement.
Guitar-wise, this is what I crave for:

I'd love to find one of these with the tuck & roll in good shape:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/turquoisemoleeater/guitars/Kustom_K100.jpg)
Had one in this color in my late teens / early 20s, but I would be interested in almost any color.
Taylor 8 string baritone acoustic.
PRS DGT
Heritage H150
Tom Anderson or Suhr Classic.
Not a realistic GAS, but one of these would do very nicely:

More realistically, I have my eyes on one of these:
(http://www.altomusic.com/media/catalog/product/f/e/fender-guitars-2161000400-0.jpg)
A nice G&L bass to match my legacy guitar in blue burst.

I want a true stereo, analog or analog modelling tap tempo delay with a triplet delay control that's also not too expensive. Fits the bill! I want to connect it to my DJ setup, i think it'll be sooooper trippy to be able to add delays while mixing.

Big Tremonti fan and big PRS fan, but the Tremonti pickups just don't do it for me. Actually, I've re-pickup'ed all my PRS singlecuts save for the one with PRS #7s in it. Really need to get one with 57/08s in it.
THIS:
(http://user.xmission.com/~bwillard/Manhattan%20Midnight.JPG)
They released these while I was working at Daddy's Junkie Music. I think it's the white binding (it's actually white not that horrible cream color) that does it for me. That and the fact that they didn't put their awful gold hardware all over it.
one day...

OK, I'm revising my list. I'd like to build a Trainwreck too, and I'd also like to find a Framus Jan Akkerman
I've wanted one of these for a while but I can't pay full price considering most of them need tons of work put into them even at full price. Every time one comes up around me for sale at a reasonable price and is honest about what it needs I jump but it's already gone. I just missed one a couple days ago so this is fresh in my mind. Some day!

I'll tell you what I REALLY want.
A magic courier service where the item in question appears on my doorstep in an hour or so after the cash clears, without having to wait for Customs to sit around for more than two days doing dick, and waiting for the slow boat from the USA to hurry up.
Really fixated on a Firebird:

The Elliot Easton Firebird is a rare instance where the signature guitar for a lefty player is actually available in a left handed model. Not so for the Tony Iommi SG, or the Hofner Beatle Bass, etc, etc.

Currently gassing for a 1982-1983 Gibson ES-335 with Shaw pickups and a stop tail. Ideally, it would be burgundy colored.
An early 60's would be even better, but I'm unlikely to win the lottery anytime soon as I never buy any tickets.
non-DIY stuff:
MIM Strat - I know this doesn't sound like a lofty goal, but I really want one and I'm saving up. I want Lake Placid blue w/maple fretboard. I would go through it over time and upgrade the electronics
Reverend Club King RT w/Bigsby - This is probably attainable, but not any time soon.
TC Ditto looper
DIY stuff:
pickup winder - I've been toying with the idea of building one and using an Arduino to control it. First, I need to get into Arduino though! It would be rad to wind my own pickups for the strat.
112 cab - built to match my 5E3 head. I would load it with one of the Weber Jensen clones
partially DIY:
Hammond M3 & 2-speed Leslie - The organ would be the cheap part of that pairing, but I would go for a non-working leslie and fix it up if I could get one cheap. I would mod the organ for foldback for the full B3 sound, and maybe recap it. It's probably all a silly idea because I stink on keys.

Sunn amps were made in the town I grew up in so I've seen my share of vintage Sunn gear throughout the years. They definitely made some great stuff! Fender actually bought the Sunn factory and used it to manufacture amps before they moved to Corona, CA in the 90's. My dad still has an old blues deluxe from that era made in our home town and it still sounds great. If you like Sunn, you should check out Conrad Amps. Conrad Sundholm started Sunn back in the day and he is still making amps to this day. A little out of my price range but his stuff is beautiful!

I have DIY dreams of building a Sunn Sceptre. I have at least a couple more amp builds to do first before taking that on.
Sunn O))) (of Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson) took their name from the amps (plus it is also a nod to Carlson's Earth).
They use SIX Model T amps on stage (all with full stacks), and six Ampeg SVTs, but Ampeg probably isn't as good a band name as Sunn O))).

I know what you mean! Had a look at ESPs the other day, and they have changed all the model numbers and everything! It got me all confused!
Also been looking at the ESP LTD MH1000. Same guitar, just not hand made, and bolt on neck instead of a neck through, but at half the price! One day I'll have one of each. Maybe. If I win the lottery.

They've really come a long way with that thing since last I checked in. Wow. It's not all that expensive, considering you'd probably make your money back pretty easily just doing some custom pick guards or something.
Yeah, it has. Saving up, selling stuff, now to make it happen. I think it opens up a HUGE realm of possibilities of random crap to make/sell to make the money back, haha.

Not to derail the GAS thread, but what's really hot now are custom eCigarette 'mods.' The guys who make the classy ones literally can't make them fast enough and they sell for $200-$500.

I've made my GAS priority list this week, this stands at position 2 or 3... it's battling with the Soldano cab. Btw, the cab is way less than the MSRP shown in the link, they are 649$ with the options i want. Same range than a Mesa Recto212 or Orange.
