Christmas deal struck !!

Well at the moment the wife is in FL dealing with her mother (health), the daughter leaves on the 23rd for FL. So if all goes well
I will be Home Alone for the Holidays. Really that is not a bad thing. I hate the holidays and this way I can deal with all the demons with out
worrying about who is around. Plus I can crank up the amps also.
 
Yargnad, why not let BING play thru amps too?

BFT. I wish you and the Mrs a very happy Christmas and only you will know your threshold for gear. I won't make any suggestions regarding purchases. That is up to you and your likes and interests.

I am super envious of the SG love-in that's going on around here. But I'm a cheap bastage and I'll need them to come down to the $500 mark to even be considered attainable atm. I've got the Epi SG Jr and that does it for me until I can find the $ale Of The Century.....who remembers that show?

You'll find one Yarg, I know you will.
There IS a lot of SG love around here, cause we love SG's
These two do it for me.

2005 61RI & 2017 Special that have both benefited from the wrath of my router.
The Special was a budget model with a satin finish and two mini hums...
Not any more. The bonus is it never had a pickguard so no screw holes.
It takes the look of a Guy Clark Jr. SG to a whole new level with a trio of Lollars, a Bigsby and a gloss lacquer refinish.
 
@BFT Gibson
Thats quite a deal!

Hope it works out great for the both of you.
Hope your lady has the best outcome possible regarding the health issues; that would be the best gift of all.

We dont do big gifts for each other any more; we save for the Florida trip the last few years since my mom passed.
I am / was a co-owner with her on a time share week next to Disney property.
And, we just focus on paying down our debt and funding the home repair / improvement projects necessary for an older house.

It does leave me some wiggle room for budget level gear and tube amp builds.
Feeling the Gibson SG fever again recently; been playing the Epi G400 more in the last few months than the 3 or so years I have had it.
If the right $500 used Gibby SG comes along it may finally be time to break the $254 barrier.
I would sell off some stuff to help offset it.

Same thing happened to me. Lost my good paying job at the end of 2007. House a couple years later and still trying to get ahead of the game. Kind of amazed to hear so many of us here went through this.

I know just what you mean bro,
I did everything under the sun to not lose our house, that we successfully managed to do.
The bikes went away, I quit riding altogether, but picked up the guitar again, on the cheap, and figured out how to make them play and stay in tune (to a degree)
Then things started to pick up a little , and I got a divorce card from GC now I am where I am

We were some of the lucky ones. My wife was still working. Teacher. Not huge pay, but with my unemployment. We survived. Credit cards got run up a little higher than we should have let them. But.... unemployment doesn’t last forever and it had run out. We were probably within a month or two of having to make some tough decision.

That’s when my current employer saw my resume on Indeed. Gave me a call. I came in. Came back a few day later for second interview. That was a Friday. Got offered a job and was working the following Monday.

And up to that point. I wasn’t even able to buy an interview. The big guy in the sky was definitely looking out for us.

Took us about three years before I can really say we started feeling comfortably about finances. Got the CC paid off. Paid off the couple of student loans we had been paying on. It sucked. But we survived.
