I'm enjoying what I currently have, but the EVJ is dead, and there's a possibility that my job interview today might turn into a good job.
Must Have a 2 channel tube amp with effects loop:
- Bugera V22 for $350 is a cheap yet tasty possibility
- Egnater Rebel 30 for $800 sounds fantastic
- Mesa Express 5:25 for dream level spending of $1200, but this amp sounds incredible, and has plenty of tonal range.
A 2x12 cabinet is a
Nice-To-Have, like an
Avatar with Hellatones 60's.
Must have a
Deluxe Player's Strat. -Good noiseless pickups, quality build, sound, and features for $600.
To go with the amp, a
Line 6 M13. I like the extras it has over the 9, and need some effects to shape with, since the Vypyr needs to get traded in.
The M13 needs a MIDI expression pedal, so a
Rocktron Utopia Expression Guitar Effects Pedal would be nice.
I'd
like an HH guitar, possibly an LP copy.
A
Hagstrom Swede is a possible finalist.
The
Michael Kelly Patriot Limited is a great bang for the buck:
The
Peavey HP Signature EXP is also a contender:
A
Love-To-Have would be a Hagstrom Viking Deluxe Tremar,
and a
dream hollow body would be the Gretsch Brian Setzer...
My Lottery Dream List is similar, but add lotsa' boutique amps (Swart, Reinhardt, ENGL, Germino) and Custom Shop level guitars.
