I'd be (and have been) interested in any guitar I can get a deal on. But I'd love to find a late-production F100 with the bicut neck & non-string through saddle lock; just to prove whether they even exist as claimed on some websites
Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFET is probably my 'best' pedal, but a BBE 427 is my go-to of late. Also love my MXR Blue Box
(My son snagged my 427)
The elusive G&L’s... for me it is the Z-2 (you snagged that one from GC before I could), an ASAT HB and maybe a JD-5. These seem to be in hiding.
Bon Jovi
I'd say most 1980's Lefties could fit in that category. If I can't get/find an HG, maybe an ASAT w/ 1 or 2 HG pickups is in my future...
Missed the Mats unfortunately but did see Paul Westerberg solo that was good. Most memorable shows would be Bob Mould (Bob at a bar on a stool with a strat a Fender twin and a mic) was next to the stage, Jerry Garcia at the Stone where I sat at a table maybe 20 feet from the band, Marillion in Vienna Austria, Warren Zevon acoustic in a small bar sitting on the floor by the stage, Frank Zappa, and AC/DC with Bon Scott opening for Kiss, blew them away. Love seeing shows, many more that left an impression.

I did catch Tommy Emmanuel about 15 years ago and that was surely a highlight.
G&L
To use your term, I have quite a few 'unicorns', including Leo's Interceptor II (S/N G000002), the HG-2 prototype, 'The Rembrandt', one of the 4 'Buck Owens' ACls, George's AC Signature w/gold hardware and LFV, ASAT '50 #1, 20th Anniversary #1, the only Trinity in Clear Red built for Bob Page, and a slew of prototypes both pre- and post-BBE. And yes, to get those, browsing the auction sites and certain dealers is almost a 'day job'.
Most shows of the rock greats I have seen, including Skynyrd before they had that plane crash. I never did see Lou Reed or Bob Marley which I regret to this day. otherwise I have been blessed to see a lot of great acts, take a few pics here and there but nowadays it just costs too much.

Why is there not any rare birds since the Blondie was made in 2007? Is there really no candidate for eleven years? Any nominations to pass on to the folks in the Mother Ship?

Tom,
There is no continuation because those pages are remnants of GbL v1. As long as you don't touch them, they will properly connect to the old DB (which also contains the Registry data) and render just fine. They'd need to be rebuilt entirely for the current version of the forum.
