Your year in gear - 2019 edition

stickyfiddle

Tis the season, which means it's time for reflection once again. 

What have you bought?
What have you sold?
Is there anything you regret?
Will you be having a massive clear out in the new year? *raises hand*

For me... 

In: 
Gibson Les Paul Custom 57 reissue
Trinity Amps 5e3 Deluxe kit
Fulltone OCD
Vemuram Jan Ray
Animal Major Overdrive
OBNE Minim
Roland TD17 drum kit (unquestionably my best GAS of the year)

Out:
Gibson Les Paul Custom 57 reissue (ahem)
Gamechanger Plasma
Ryra Klone


Next year
Potentially on the block are my Gibson ES-330, and possibly all my amps for a home-build Deluxe Reverb and/or Carr Mercury V. I need to have a look at my pedals with a sensible hat on. Then I'd like to build some more stuff - hopefully get moving on the Jaguar build I've had in my head for too long.

Bought Joyo Flanger - that's it. 

Roland

What have you bought? Bridge tuner for the headless guitar that I haven’t made yet.

What have you sold? NS/Stick. Big event. First time I’ve sold anything significant.

Is there anything you regret? Not getting around to making that headless.

Next year? Predictably ... build the headless.

I will be having a clear out at some point. We're trying to sort out a new house and I think once we do that I'll have to go back to being 100% digital at home, so I suspect a Kemper will be coming to me in 2020.

I don't really look at guitars too much, so that's one saving grace!

It wasn't bad but I already had an electric AND an acoustic and once I'd left the band I'd been using it for it seemed surplus to requirements.
