I would love the Josh Homme signature: http://maton.com.au/product/bb1200-jh

Or this thing: http://maton.com.au/product/ms500-50th

I have a ms500 . It's rad. They can be copped here fairly cheaply on used market ($500-700) because people are dumb and want fenders and gibsons. :idk:

I haven't tried any of the super new ones they have had small changes to body styling and scale length and junk over the last few years.


Yeah people are dumb always wanting Fenders and Gibsons. Same thing happens here; Godin is a mostly Canadian (also some in the States) manufacturer and yet no one I know has even heard of them.

Godin has some pretty cool, rarely seen guitars too.

The LGX-SA is pretty awesome:

And super versatile. It has an acoustic pickup and midi output:

And their acoustics are awesome:

And I've always wanted their jazz guitar too:

:thumb: my guitarist has a black LGX

I had an orange LGX but ended up trading it for a thinline Tele and a Recording King acoustic, then traded the thinline for my Gretsch G5129.

Just found another company that you don't see much (also because of Queens of the Stone Age/Josh Homme. I love his taste in guitars I guess. And the music, that too.)

Teisco guitars are pretty rad. I had one, but gave it to this stupid punk kid that has probably broken it by now :/
There's this indoor Flea Market here that has a room full of them, and it has this sexy Silvertone that I really want...

Jack White's Airline is freaking sick. Airline is still around and their guitars are sick! I want and Airline Espanada so bad! It sounds so damn good!!!!

Not the original company actually, and please try before you buy. That goes for same models even.

Yeah it's definitely not the original company, but to be fair I've yet to play a repro Airline or any of Eastwood's other guitars that I haven't liked. They're all solid and sound great.
I really want their Sidejack Bass VI:

or the Dallas Green Jupiter:

Neither of which you see around much, which I find kind of weird considering the recent love for anything Bass VI.
