Yes it's that time again.
You're walking down the beach and find a strange looking flute. Not being a germ-a-phobe or of your right mind, you blow it. A genie materialises and says "thank the goddess I'm out of that squeezey thing, for coming to my rescue and since you're obviously a musical-type I'll grant you the guitar of your choice.
So... What's your fancy? What's missing from your collection?
OK - I was looking at EBay and decided to have a squiz at Taylors. I'm not looking for a new guitar, I really don't think I'm playing what I have enough to justify buying another. But it doesn't hurt to dream right? My boss who's a cyclist says that the perfect number of bikes for a household is N+1. N equals the number of bikes you have in the house right now. Well it works for whatever your passion is.
At some point I'd quite like one of the following:
- a nylon string with a cut away, electronics and 14 frets to the body, 1 7/8 " neck, a nice Taylor nylon series preferably rosewood and cedar would be very nice. A Jason Mraz -type model - Ness - I'm dead envious.

- a redwood or cedar top and mahogany body fingerpicker, steel-string, a cutaway and electronics - a Taylor GA or maybe even a GS series would be great.

So if one of these turns up on EBay at a ridiculously cheap price, well I'm sure I'll be lusting and counting my pennies.... Or I could just keep scouring the beach for a magic flute with a genie inside. .... Kaaaaaylee here girl let's go for a walk on the beach sweetie.
So what's your fancy? Oh and being a woman with great insight, I predict that Chas will say Blackie.

PS - if you feel like you're read this thread before... Well I think my brain has cannibalised several different threads I've started previously...so you probably have. but I figure it's always fun to talk guitar dreams and our desires do change over time.
N+1 - dream a little dream

Can you get your boss to upload the rest of the "work" behind his answer of N+1? I would really need some help with that justification.. My wife is truly a wonderful human being, but she would flat kill me if another guitar came into the house..... :woohoo:
That being said, I am feeling pretty darn content right now. The recent addition of the Taylor 556e (12 string - mahogany back and sides with spruce top - no cut-away - onboard Taylor expression system) was bliss....
But.......

I think right now I'd ask for some peace of mind..... second to that maybe some talent.
I just got rid of one guitar but could seriously justify a few more. I wouldn't mind taking Jason's new toy for a spin. However I've got my eye on a nice little tele.
You know.... I think I'd just be happy walking on the beach. I'll hand you the bottle.

That was a beauty. The price tags on some of those guitars was enough to make me stick my tail between my legs though.... I was fortunate that they were all righties....
