We've all had that experience - you pick up the most amazing guitar, kick on the most amazing pedal, or plug into the most amazing amp, and for whatever reason you can't bring it home with you. And when you finally can get it, it's gone.
What's that piece of gear for you? Is it a used piece that hasn't been made in years? Or perhaps it's a one off that you'll never see anything like again? Or maybe it's just a mass produced piece of gear that's simply too expensive? Dish.
For me, it's a Mesa Stiletto Ace. I played one probably about 7 or 8 years ago now, so nostalgia probably plays a big role in it, as well as the fact that I was a relatively new guitarist at that point and didn't really know tone like I do now. But I just remember plugging into that thing and it sung without any effort from me. Ever since I got my Egnater, I've had no gas for marshall type amps whatsoever... but if I found one of those for like $500 I'd jump on it in a second.
