When I win the lottery...

[Johnny Robbo]

I've been watching a lot of this guy's videos recently. They give a real insight into how a custom built guitar is put together...

Then I got an email about a big lottery rollover jackpot, and it got me thinking...

Any thoughts on what you might order if your numbers came up?

Cheers,

John.

Interesting choice Johnny - I've had the GAS knocked out of me by the wife who says I can't have any more guitars so not given it much thought recently.  But I suppose if I won the lottery I could buy a bigger house and have my own music room/studio. I know custom-built guitars can look amazing but I prefer the more traditional look. So instead of spending a lot of money on one guitar I'd go for a  Tele in Butterscotch with a maple neck, an all-black Strat with maple neck and large headstock (always wanted one like that), a Les Paul Standard in faded cherry-burst, a faded cherry Gibson 335. Saw a Squier Jaguar in a shop in town recently (which I started having a hankering for but was told NO!) so I'd also go for a US one in sunburst with red tortoiseshell scratchplate. And perhaps a better bass, a Fender American Standard P Bass would do me. Probably black with a maple neck. Simple tastes !

Sounds like a fine stable of instruments you'd go for, Pete. Obviously, if I were to win the jackpot, I'd have to have all the big names in there too... strat/tele/les paul/335/PRS etc... For the low-end stuff I think I'd go for the jazz bass though, as I just prefer the look.

Meanwhile, back in the real world... this one is giving me a bit of GAS:

I'm hoping you win Kenny! I don't play the lottery so I'm sure I won't win. I take all those $$ and just buy the mid range/Used stuff.

I would buy the deeds to every country, workdwide, and abolish all government.
I would rid the planet of weapons and unkind thoughts and create a free, sustainable food and energy source.
I would invest in apple.
I would build more fountains that sprayed in synch with music and hire all of you guys to write the music to accompany said fountains.
pave the majority of the Earth
save the bees



.......what was it I won?
