RMJ · December 2017

I sold all my pedals and bought a helix and some monitors. Also bought a Les Paul special. That's it!<br><br>Edit...also sold tone king falcon

DrCornelius · December 2017

Guitar wise there isn’t enough server space to go through them all, I’ve ended the year addicted to musicman guitars though.<br><br>Amps I settled on a lovely Marshall mini jubilee until I realised as much as I liked the Marshall sound I liked tweed too. Now have an AX8 through a stereo monitor set up and I’ve got literally every sound I’ve dreamed of :-)

capo4th · December 2017

Added a Gibson 355 and a Taylor GS mini for my son....<br><br>Less is more.

Roland · December 2017

This year I actually bought something guitar related: a Mission volume pedal. There were also some pickups, straps, and parts for the guitar I made, and the ones I planned to make but didn’t get around to.<br><br>For the workshop there have been a pillar drill, dust extractor and air cleaner, machine stands, a pipe bender, and loads of consumables.<br><br>Sold. I don’t sell things. Technically I’ve sold an MFC101, but since I haven’t delivered it, not collected the cash, it’s not really sold yet is it Rob?

JerkMoans · December 2017

What a great thread: captures some of the madness, and the admirable restraint/contentedness of others. <br><br>Personally got slightly carried away this year... if I spent half the time practising as I do obsessing over new gear I might finally move beyond Smoke on the Water and learn a pentatonic scale position.<br><br>edited highlights that I can remember include:<br><br>Guitars<div><br></div><div>Bought</div><div><br></div><div>1977 Fender Mustang</div><div>Yamaha SG2000</div><div>B&G Little Sister</div><div>Kurt Cobain Mustang</div><div>Mexican Standard Strat</div><div>Yamaha SA2000</div><div>Rickenbacker 360</div><div><br></div><div>Sold</div><div><br></div><div>1977 Fender Strat</div><div>1977 Mustang</div><div>1970 Telecaster </div><div>JV Strat /Partscaster</div><div><div>Yamaha SG2000</div><div>Kurt Cobain Mustang</div><div>Mexican Standard Strat</div></div><div><br></div><div>Amps</div><div><br></div><div>Bought</div><div><br></div><div>Flynn Tweed Deluxe</div><div><br></div><div>Sold</div><div><br></div><div>Fender Hot Rod Deluxe</div><div>Rivera 55/12</div><div><br></div><div>Pedals</div><div><br></div><div>Bought</div><div><br></div><div>Crowther Hotcake x2</div><div>Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine</div><div>Earthquaker Devices Tentacle</div><div>Dr No Alain Johannes 11:11</div><div>Fender Blender</div><div>MXR Phase 90</div><div>Keeley Compressor</div><div>Keeley Monterey</div><div>Skreddy Echo</div><div>Strymon Flint</div><div><br></div><div>Sold</div><div><br></div><div>Ravish Sitar</div><div><div>Crowther Hotcake</div><div>Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine</div><div>Earthquaker Devices Tentacle</div><div>Fender Blender</div></div><div>Van Amps Sole Mate Jr</div><div>EHX Holy Grail</div><div>Boss Tremolo TR2</div><div><br></div><div>Best bit of Gear</div><div><br></div><div>Mastery Vibrato for my jazzmaster </div><div><br><br>This is really has to stop.

Not cheap: I had to shift my 1970 Tele and my ‘77 Mustang to raise the funds. Worth it, though: probably the best neck I’ve ever played, and tone more mellow than, er, a Donovan song about the colour yellow.
