The best that isn’t yours

[Tonart]

Time to eat humble pie and celebrate others. What are the most amazing guitars you’ve ever seen that isn’t yours?

Here are my two entries. Would you look at that. One’s a friggin space nebula and the other is the most perfect flame, like ever. Mind blown away, nothing left...

My only consolation: I got good taste!!

This was on Reverb recently. I made an offer, but it got purchased within hours by another.
No one to blame but myself. Shoulda, couldn't, didn't.

Paging Alan T., Vaughn, and Les' PS, please!!! (Anything with Northern Lights, and Vaughn's "frosted sumptin"??? forgot his color, but it's astounding.

I once played the bespoke handbuilt Spanish classical guitar belonging to David Pleasance (David was the former Commodore UK boss). It played effortlessly. I didnt even realise that a guitar could be that easy to play at that point.

I've long hankered after a period (50s or 60s) L5 also.

You said guitar singular. There are far too many to just pick out one!

Today I would say Veinbuster’s OG Bahama Mama SCT:

Perfect quilt top
Perfect Bahama Blue color
Perfect TOL (original) inlay (with purfling)
Jet black Ebony board

Man, dunno if I can pick a clear favorite outta everybody’s stash here.... if y’all could post all of your collections in their entirety, maybe that’d help?

I wanted to post a picture of the replica but couldn’t dig through PSF to find it.

I can't get this one out of my mind!

That’s amazing. Is that the employee PS guitar built for Tina of the Private Stock department?

You’re quite right. Amended it for ya!

That is incredibly nice, but I couldn’t jinx myself by posting it.

Yep! Stalked that one myself, well at least in my head

That extreme chevron PS the Russian dealer (Ladkor?) had made is another.

And a green SC ME1.


Good thread idea, Tonart!
