Your best score of 2023

[Moondog Wily]

The SE SAS at the sale price is such a great guitar that it is the leader in the clubhouse. However, if I score the job I'm in negotiations for before the end of the year, it will probably ouster the guitar from the top spot. And start me thinking about great score potential for 2024. There IS that Santana I've been GASsing over.

You can't spell Santana without Santa! Just sayin'!!

PRS Artist 1 Stoptail. Probably this one...

PRS Custom 24 Retro or this one.

LOVE that CU24 PS Retro! Could not see the other pix. Link did nothing ;~((

I'll go with a '94 CE-22 with Dragons. In great shape, other than some serious buckle rash.

Whoa.......that is hot!

Well, it definitely won't make it under this year's tree, but I'd seriously consider dropping the "don't sell it, its mine" deposit before EOY if things go through.

Thanks! Inspired by the time I spent with yours!

I happen to have one of his doing that very thing to me right now.. damn enablers!

For me, getting two "dream" guitars in the same year would count as my best score for 2023. Getting in the PS queue and personally selecting the wood would be a second though it will be my best score for 2024.

2022 Tremonti stoptail in Charcoal and its cousin 2023 Les Paul Custom in Silverburst.

Hahahahaha there's another guy on here that's going to succumb to the power of the ce22 D1 mojo!!!

I got a Moc Sand with an unusable trem bar - someone screwed the bridge down

"Curse you, JM!" Shakes fist at Dead & Co 7/16/23 San Francisco.

From a value perspective, my best score of 2023 might have to be the Mira X. Holy crap, what an undervalued monster of a guitar--so versatile.

From an, "Oh crap, I can't believe I found one" perspective, it's gotta be that DC-22 from the original run of 25.

I can relate to that, having recently found and bought #23. What number is yours GM?

I've just acquired #16. Yours must also be the tobacco sunburst like mine, I presume. (Pretty sure 1-12 were lemon burst, and then 13-25 were tobacco burst.)

It's an amazing guitar, regardless of its provenance/rarity--fit & finish, feel, tone... all of it.

I Got An Extra Order Of Fries (By Mistake) At In N' Out And I Saved 15% On My Car Insurance. Win/Win!

Thatsssssss….

Congrats! Yes, “McCarty Tobacco Sunburst” is the colour. Very tasteful. Totally agree on all counts. It’s a superb instrument and a real joy to play and hear. I’ve been wondering where the others from our batch might be and how their owners are getting along with them…
