Well I'm budgeting myself up to that
Hence 'big guitar year'. Certainly couldn't do it every year. Would, but can't.

Not sure yet
The list is massive. I'm going to go shopping later on this year and start making a decision. I'm leaning towards a Les Paul custom of some description, but therein lies the game.
I'm hearing good things about Suhr, so I ought to try some of their stuff. PRS too.

PRS make lovely guitars
What sort of moneys are you actually planning to send?

EDIT
Or spend even?

I want to set myself an upper limit of 5k
But that could go on one awesome thing, or a couple of nice things. I'm looking forward to trying everything to be honest.
There's a shop in Bath that does some lovely vintage stuff, so I'll certainly visit them again.

Man, I wish I had £5k to spend on a guitar

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:24, Reply)

It's taken me YEARS to a) get the money and b) convince the missus to let me spend it
And it'll be the last time in a really long time I imagine, so I need to choose carefully.

What makes a guitar worth £5k?
Genuinly...is it materials, heritage er...something else

gold strings
coils made of cherub hair, and a body made of giant redwood

I like a vintage guitar personally
I prefer the Gibson hollow bodies to a heavy old Les Paul.
