I got a Fender Mexican Strat and there's a new Fender Champion wrapped under the tree. I'm good. My girl bought these though, I haven't bought myself anything yet.

Probably nothing music relted, but I've got my eyes on one of these:

I'm also thinking to buy a load of paint as I have a big canvas to fill and not much to fill it with.

Nothing. I understand why you want all those guitars. It is all those avatars that has me confused!

[BGood]

I splurged this year !
I should be getting in the mail, 4 used notched speed knobs from a forumite and a six pack of (new) Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-42's from a store.
Oh yeah, one of those to fix a cracked one in the Super Champ X2.



Come on, it's not Christmas every day !

Gahr, congrats on the new house!!
May you enjoy many happy Christmas seasons there.

Wifey says we needed a new laptop; the Toshiba was a good machine and I'm on it now but it was time. At over 5 years old and after having passed the impact test a few times, but with a price I cant complain.
so we got an HP i5 / 8mb / 225G SSD for a little over $400.

Nothing guitar wise Christmas specific but I did buy into a custom run budget 2 P90 guitar that should be here within a couple of weeks.
I have an Ibanez S470 for sale locally to fund it but so far no takers.

I ordered my SG Jr a gift: a better set of cheapy tuners, Jin Ho brand Grover copies. I have a Donner tuner pedal enroute, $15. each, and some Reverb branded clip on tuners.

 

[RVA]

Then I'm confiscating your dremel and sending you one of my old carpenter chisels its never been used on a guitar
It will though . I will exercise once by installing locking tuners done.

I did it the old fashioned way before. I earned my Dremel!

I'm waiting to see if Santa comes through with any of the
stuff on the letter I wrote before I buy myself anything.

Hey, you never know...
