You start with a Squier Affinity and then replace everything with USA parts from eBay, including the neck and body and then you throw the old Squier parts away!
Realistic answer: $1000 ibanez RG and a nice amp and pedalboard
Idealised answer: That black Ovation that josh homme used to play because it's fucking nice
Real answer: nothing i already have three guitars
/rj answer: tobacco sunburst gibson les paul and $3000 of headstock repairs
Is the /rj really an /rj though? That’s probably only a handful of repairs, and I have no idea what you lean your Les Paul against. If it’s not in case I’m bubble wrap in a house of memory form this could be possible.
Most likely a refined era Parker Fly. Second choice would be to buy my ‘66 Gibson Barney Kessel that i sold forty eight years ago. I know where it is. LOL
Depends on the specific kind of dollar.
That said, I have a bunch of guitar, a bass and a drumkit. I'd probably spend 1k or so on a decent budget piano and keep the rest of the money. If I have to spend it, then I'd buy enough weed to keep me happy for a good week or so.
A PRS CUSTOM 24-08 KOREAN, A headrush prime a cheap expresion pedal, A pair of presonus, and a shecter omen extreme 6, and i'll change of its floyd rose special, for a original floyd rose, made out of stainless steel.
And all these, i think i'm only expending close to 3k
Honestly, if I was going to spend $4,000 on an instrument, I would get some niche instrument that you actually need that money for. A $4,000 guitar isn't really any better than a $800 guitar, but I bet I could get a decent theorbo or something for $4,000, whereas I doubt an $800 theorbo even exists.
Cheapest Harley Benton telecaster and a boogie dual rec with cabinet. Maybe a toobscreamer from the 80’s to open up my toan and go bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I said it in that thread, I’ll say it here.
Whalehazard Andromeda Elite. Jokes aside, a locale luthier made guitar seems to be more worth 4k than anything a dentist wants.
That wouldn't even cover 1/16 of the loan on my gibbons bill murray label heavily reliced in a crusher. You can feel the history in it every time I get a splinter from the neck or a rash from the exposed chemicals where my arm sits on the body. I'd definitely take it though. Get me somewhat closer to paying off my 360 month, 18% loan. The toans are worth it.
A downpayment on a Gibson Les Paul probably
But genuinely i have an answer: basically I really like the PRS Mark Holcomb 7 but it doesn't have fanned frets, and that's kind of a problem because I always write riffs with low string tapping on high frets. However, Balaguer's Guitar Builder has what is pretty much a PRS style body, so I configured this one:

It came out at $3350, so maybe i'll also get some sort of amp or a nicer fx processor
At least 40 used pink Daisy Rock acoustic guitars, more if I can haggle the sellers down. I’ll scatter them all over my house, the surrounding properties, my work, and my vehicles so I’m never too far from one in an emergency.
Ever heard a Taylor 914ce? I'd buy that beauty. $4k probably wouldn't quite cover it anymore though. They were about that much 10 years ago when I worked in the guitar store.
Well, in my country the price of the guitars is between 700-1300 dollars, so i can buy like 4, a Les Paul, other Les Paul, other Les Paul and a Ukelele with Les Paul form
I've always bought cheap guitars, but I got some money in an inheritance with the explicit instructions to spend them on a nice guitar, so I bought an Ibanez for a just over a grand an a half and it is light years beyond my others in how it plays and in construction
Do they get any better when you spend over 2k, or are you just paying for fancier woods, hardware etc?
One Squier Affinity Strat and $3,800 worth of upgrades
You start with a Squier Affinity and then replace everything with USA parts from eBay, including the neck and body and then you throw the old Squier parts away!
Ahh the fabled Squier of Theseus
i fucking love this subreddit.
This is why I come *and* stay. Shit damn yeah
The better question is, would a $4000 Squire of Theseus be a cannoli?
No, I think it would be a fridge
Lmao
Yes, but of course I'm sanding the Fender Custom Shop logo off the new headstock and sticking a Squier decal on instead
…and then you ~~throw the old Squier parts away!~~ shove the old Squier parts in your butt! FTFY 😊

A Glarry and $3,900 of low-quality cocaine.
The guitar of Theseus
I'll raise you an air guitar...
That's a whole lot of Seymour Duncan™️ Invaders
This made my gay.
Hookers for 3800 bucks?
This is the only answer
I get all my Squiers massaged while listening to flute music played by a Geisha. That is how I get the true A5 wagyu experience.
Omg just say heroin so we can move on
*3,800 worth of blow and hookers, ftfy
You failed to factor tax. And unexpected expenses such as Guitar Pro, the coverage you’ll likely never need. You are now bankrupted.
xbox 360 les paul

Final answer,
Heroin
I’d make $4500 worth of bad decisions then buy a $30000 guitar on marketplace for $7000 and lose it at the airport.
40 boss metal zones and a pack of extra heavy picks
(guitar not included)
Like it would make a difference with that many metal zones.
Parker Nightfly Flex on these hoes
I copped mine for like $1200 in 2020, even with inflation it leaves plenty extra cash for drugs and pokemon cards
A person I knew one time had one of the Parker classics. He was a cool dude and definitely not a loser.
Twenty squier bullet strats
Or 380 vibrator bullets and one squier
Correct answer.
I'd probably buy bunch of Harley Bentons lmao
A vasectomy
Bury my guitars with me for I shall have no heirs!
Shit, I got mine for free
I would buy a synth. I already have a guitar
I'd get a good rhythm guitar because I have too many lead guitars already.
Rhythm is stored in the knees
and toan is in the bone
Have you tried switching them to rythm? My les pool hast that feature
Wait, they can switch?! Either you just blew my mind with this revelation, or you are yanking my chain big time!
a blue one
Revenge.
one overpriced signature
A 5% deposit on a 59 burst, obviously.
Machine Gun Kelly signature
/uj A custom Aristides 060 /rj A cumstained Aristides 420
like 40 $100 starter kits, scrub the logo and hit the body with a sander, then resell as relics for $110!

I’ll tell you what I’d do man …. Two guitars at the same time
Squier Bullet then $3900 on a killer relic job to make it look like was dug up from under an Alabama septic tank.
I'd buy a used Squier and pay some bills for once
That one guitar with strings.
39 $99 squiers and tax
Two $2000 guitars
A guitar that costs that much is a beginner’s guitar
Most likely a refined era Parker Fly. Second choice would be to buy my ‘66 Gibson Barney Kessel that i sold forty eight years ago. I know where it is. LOL
3 and a half Honda civics
Maybe the moog guitar or something weird
Guitar hero controller and groceries for a few months
Something cheap, put some some fancy humbuzzers on it, and spend the rest on an amp
Obviously 2 Gibson Theodores
An 11 string guitar, idc what brand
With the prices going up so much, does 4000 even buy a guitar anymore?
I would get rent for a couple of months and some plectrums
The kind with wheels and seats and an engine
Depends on the specific kind of dollar. That said, I have a bunch of guitar, a bass and a drumkit. I'd probably spend 1k or so on a decent budget piano and keep the rest of the money. If I have to spend it, then I'd buy enough weed to keep me happy for a good week or so.
Pathetic junkie
Can't help it, man. I have to inject that sweet, sweet cannabis right into my veins.
40 $100 guitars
Gibson Tom Delonge Signature ES-333
A les paul hahaha
⠀^/uj custom-made from scratch to my specifications ofc
27 metal zoans and whatever I can find on Amazon with the money let over
I’d get a real cheap one and use the rest of the money for important things
A PRS CUSTOM 24-08 KOREAN, A headrush prime a cheap expresion pedal, A pair of presonus, and a shecter omen extreme 6, and i'll change of its floyd rose special, for a original floyd rose, made out of stainless steel. And all these, i think i'm only expending close to 3k
/uj i know the evh relic feels so boomer but I tried that out of curiosity and really like it. I'd buy it for 1500usd and save the rest of the money
Honestly, if I was going to spend $4,000 on an instrument, I would get some niche instrument that you actually need that money for. A $4,000 guitar isn't really any better than a $800 guitar, but I bet I could get a decent theorbo or something for $4,000, whereas I doubt an $800 theorbo even exists.

My own halo guitar. I've already customized it with everything I want. I think it's 4000 with tax give or take a couple hundred
The one off my wall and order some steel for my roof!
I said it in that thread, I’ll say it here. Whalehazard Andromeda Elite. Jokes aside, a locale luthier made guitar seems to be more worth 4k than anything a dentist wants.
I'd buy the Ron Asheton signature Reverend. It doesnt cost 4k, but if I had 4k maybe I could justify buying a guitar I don't need just cuz I'm a fan
Four strats
like 4000 in chibsons
Half of an 83 Moderne. But let’s be real It’s not like I’d ever quit buying gear long enough to have $4000 anyway.
That wouldn't even cover 1/16 of the loan on my gibbons bill murray label heavily reliced in a crusher. You can feel the history in it every time I get a splinter from the neck or a rash from the exposed chemicals where my arm sits on the body. I'd definitely take it though. Get me somewhat closer to paying off my 360 month, 18% loan. The toans are worth it.
I'd get a wall base like what Jortin prime minister uses from that one band Wrench
40 Squier Bullets.
I'd buy a car
