    A couple of nice Japanese Fender Reissue Strats. One maple necked one rosewood. Or save just a tad more and talk GC down on the price of an R'8 or R'0 Gibson Les Paul Reissue.

    Some not so legal pleasure substances. Then I'd go to a Widespread Panic concert and sell the lot for 10 times what I paid for it, buy some new guitars, new amps and a jet to haul them around in.

    I would buy a final setup, some really good stuff so you don't have to buy cheap stuff anymore. I mean, modding squiers is cool and stuff, but I think, even after modding you notice the difference to high quality guitars.

    I think that I'd put the money toward a really high quality electric, to get a sound that I don't currently have. I'm thinking either a Gibson Les Paul, 335, CS-336, or maybe another USA Hamer like an Artist or Monaco (these are fantastic guitars for the money).

    I would need more than $2k to get into these guitars, but they would be worth having if I found the right one.

    Mandolin: Morgan Monroe Mandolin

    I'd store the money somewhere and hope for another $2000 so I could afford to buy a Suhr guitar.

    Hello,

    I would go with the Gib 335 as well but as you say it would take a little more money.

    Have you guys/girls seen the new Gibson Vegas (I think that is what it was called) semi hollow body? I saw one in a Guitar magazine a while back and wondered if it sounded similar to the 335? It had a kind of fresh look to it but still 335ish.

    I dunno what I'd spend it on. I like my gear I have now. Maybe get some sorta of semi hollow body, and dedicated slide guitar (electric) and maybe a resonator .

    A guitar from Rice Custom Guitars & any $$ left over would go to effects....

    or....

    A complete pedalboard w/lots of goodies & a Fender Am Tele in Natural Ash w/white pickguard

    or....

    What Robert said....only replace "Suhr" w/"Anderson".

    (although Robert, you know that wouldn't work....you are married w/kids, as am I.....any stored music money would no longer be music money)
