Xmas Gear Show-Off

I believe many, if not all, of us here at TTR may have gotten a little (or not so) sump'n sump'n for Xmas from any version of SC you told your significant other / children was kind enough to deposit such goodies under the Xmas Tree or into a stocking or on a festivus offering area of choice... after all, haven't we all been such good string slingers all this year?

So, with that in mind, I thought it would be in order to have a space to show, boast, complain or plain rub in our collective noses, whichever piece(s) of gear it were they that "fell" into your hands this Xmas / Hannukkah / Kwanzaa / (insert holiday of your choice or creation here). Here are mine:

LSM GTS Xmas Tools.jpg

From L-R: radiused neck sanding wooden alder blocks (10", 12", 14" and 16"), fretboard chip stopper for defretting, tri-size diamond crowning file, brass fretsetter, CA glue (super Thin for stabilizing and reinforcing woodscrew hole threads and medium thick for gap filling) and corresponding micronozzles), adhesive-backed sandpaper rolls (240, 320, 400 and 600 grit) for fret-levelling beam and sanding blocks, 3/16 hex allen t-key, fret removing pliers, fretting double-ended hammer, digital vernier with fret tang and crown height measuring slots.

and three cheap-ass (less than $4.00 USD /ea) DIY-kit-reject MIC twisted guitar necks to practice fretting skills on!

OK, Merry Xmas, let's see yours!
 
No guitar gear to show off.

With the exception of a new in-ear monitor system and a better set of headphones for my mixer, I really don’t even have any music-related wishes. There’s nothing guitar-related that really interests me at the moment. Sorry!

I did get a sundial with pedestal for the front yard and a new pair of binoculars for bird watching.
 
Congrats on your stash there Six String!! Take it easy using those Bob Smith glues , those are one of the companies glues us guys use in the R/C World. :)
Thank you, Norm! I know, got'em at a hobby store! So far, they have worked great. I am starting to reinforce all the threaded screwholes on my guitars, especially the ones that can get easily stripped due to use in the headstock, strap posts and control cavities covers... A stripped thread is a pet peeve of mine... :p

My wife got me a membership to Guitar Shop Tees. A new shirt every month. Got one from Matt's Music somewhere in Ma.

No music gear this year. Got a Suhr last year.

They're in Weymouth. A little south of Boston, on the coast.
 
I bought myself some tubes and strings, and a few other bits. I need to do some preventive maintenance on some stuff. I also ordered some nut slot files for the T-Bird, as none of the files I have worked for slotting today.

About 15 minutes away from me…I got my Dual Rec from Matt…almost 20 years ago now. Matt was an alright guy…always knew the gear.

Very nice tool kit! What a thoughtful and wonderful gift!

Very unique gift! Cool that it keeps giving for months!

Tubes - stock up now they say! Nice stuff!

I wonder about the marketing on the Rotos. I never associate "warm" with "bright"
