Reflecting on the year and GAS

My only gas was wanting a Lester Jr. So I bought a kit. several months ago.

I mess around with it when I feel like it and weather permits, but haven't gotten very far yet.
I have all the bits & pieces, but just can't seem to get motivated enough to finish a guitar I won't be able to play.

I did get a chance to carve a belly cut in the back and stain it.

And make a pickguard & mock things up.

And start finishing the body.

And that's where it sits right now. But it will be finished some day.
Oh boy do I get that. I’ve got a Franketele project I’ve been working at for longer than I care to admit. Bought a body blank years ago off eBay and started accumulating all the pieces…. Which I now have. Motivation is the issue.

This past year.... hmmm....

Must think...

I got the 73 Goldtop.
Also, and I have yet to properly play it, finally the Schecter C1 Hellraiser cherry came in. I haven't even taken pics of it yet. It came with 10s and I really think that needs 9s. It has a Sustainiac so now I have 2 with them! Gives me choice.

I found a Yamaha THR 100HD 2hich has 2 identical channels and analog controls. Really a very cool idea, more amps need 2 similar channels like that with all the options for each channel.
Technically it is 2 amplifiers in one.

Then some little things.
An Empress EQ2 parametric EQ and a Source Audio programmable EQ pedal. Still haven't given that one a good work over.

I think that's about it. I did get a Peavey Studio Pro 112 just for jamming but can't recall when.

Not this year but Dec of 22 I got the 1960 Reissue Wildwood. Used it for 2 shows so far.

So just couple of little bits and bobs then Jethro ? :ROFLMAO:

Nice one mate ! (y)
 
Just one pedal for me this year. I remember a few years back, Far Rider suggested I try a compressor. I never got round to it but it was always in the back of my mind.
Anyway I recently bought a Boss CS3. Just need to figure out how it works now :oops:
