I'll start: Gibson EDS-1275. DAFUQ would I do with it other than work on "Hotel California" and "Stairway"? No idea. But I have always wanted one...

I had one for a few years, 18 strings = huge pain in the arse, I eventually sold it for the same price that I paid new.

Ha, I’ve wanted the Epi version off and on so I could play a few Mad Season songs and Rush’s Xanadu in addition to the first two you mentioned. The Gibson one would be amazing but the cost is astronomical.

Musician's Friend (I think?) had the Epi version for $999 earlier this week and I damn near pulled the trigger but didn't. Moment of clarity....

1 ton axles and 40” tires for my Jeep

A Swiss timepiece

A gated manual gallardo



I have everything I want, and more, from a guitar perspective. Maybe more time to actually play with all of it.

I would probably spend a pretty penny for a MIJ Ibanez 1994 Iceman 500 in excellent condition.

I really want to put together a full collection of my favorite 80s guitars. Kramer, Jackson, BC Rich, Robin etc.. they don't even had to be high end US models, MIJ would be fine. But I really don't need to start piling up guitars here again.
Guitars:
'78 Les Paul Pro / '89 SG Special/ '04 Gibson Les Paul Classic 3 pickup / Jackson Star/ Endres Tele / Fernandes Rhoads/ ''74 Hohner MIJ strat/ 2 Partscasters

Amps:
Depends on when you ask. I got tired of constantly updating this section lol

Cabs
Marshall 1960A w V30s/ Seismic 2x12 w Redback and V30.
