Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

I'm at -1 guitar and +2 pickups for the year so far (I sold the guitar without pickups and have another set on the way). I need to clear out some pickups soon.

Ha I’m the opposite -2 pickups +1 guitar.

But I just learned my wife can’t tell the difference between a rosewood telecaster and a cherry sunburst Les Paul, so keeping gas down is going to be very difficult.

I wanted to steer clear of buying guitars this year, but as of yesterday I am in the midst of a depressing to and fro between myself and my bank account regarding a seemingly mint EII Horizon with Evertune and 7 strings...

So...it is the middle of December....and so far, so good!

That said - I have spied 2021's first guitar!!!! And - I will be unloading some guitars to make this happen! This one is not a Budget Banger for sure, although not new.

On that note - Up for Grabs:
- The Moto/Pearloid Top Hamer
- The John Deere Dean Vendetta w/ Detonator
- A Jackson Natural Dinky (Chinese Import)
- A cheap Dean Cadillac X
- A BC Rich Platinum project (In need of locking nut nuts and a trem bar)

If you might be interested, look them up on here. Or wherever.

I still have the Precision Guitar Kits LP Junior DC to finish. Have purchased a few pedals and pickups this year but that’s it.

I'm getting rid of project guitars. I haven't done the projects in 2-3 years. I'm not going to.

This project is my Dad guitar, a memory piece of sorts of my Dad. Army green, 1950's specs (when he served), possibly some of his pins on the strap, might incorporate his dog tag somewhere. I'm getting some "how to use a professional paint gun" instructions from a guy who painted at Kramer back in the day. Got a few things to go over and then I'll practice technique before laying the paint it. It's sanded and ready to go otherwise.

Cut one of those projects up and make s test bed guitar

This year I moved more gear than I ever have in my life. Bought, sold, and traded. However I am ending the year with one fewer guitars and one fewer amps than I started with.

Congratulations
Keep it up. Not much longer to go.

Nothing really good for it. BC Rich, Floyds, Hamer too pretty to chop....

[ehdwuld]

You still got that John Deere Dean?

This year has been my busiest with guitar gear since geeze, probably 2008 or so. I sold one guitar, reclaimed one from my folks' house (old Fender acoustic), reclaimed another from my crawlspace (Squier Stratacoustic), was gifted another (Guild acoustic), borrowed one (Fender Tele), bought one and returned it (Charvel Pro Mod), bought two to keep (PRS SE Santana, Gibson SG), bought three that I won't be keeping (PRS SE Custom, another PRS SE Santana, Fender Jazzmaster), nearly bought an Ibanez RG, have a Fender Tele arriving today which will hopefully be a keeper, tried 3 different sets of GFS pups in a Strat and returned them all (lipstick tubes, filtertrons, Hot PAFs), tried another 3 sets from my parts drawer in a different Strat (EMG Gilmour knockoffs, Dimarzios, QP knockoffs), tried a Dimarzio set from the parts drawer in one of the Santanas and removed it (Air Zone + Virtual P90), tried a Duncan set in the other Santana and am keeping it (JB + Seth Lover), purchased a Spark amp, upgraded my DAW, built out a pedalboard (EQ + Preamp + Power Brick + MFX), and actually learned traditional techniques for managing my signal chain, both analog and digital. So it's been a lot of gear juggling, but I should come out at the end of the year with 1 amp purchased, 3 guitars purchased, 1 guitar sold, 2 pickups purchased, and 2 pedal accessories purchased.

Been a big year clearly, and a great distraction during covid-19 and having a baby at home. I've learned a ton and am loving my sounds more than ever, from high gain chugging to bluesy chording - also loving knowing the history of certain sounds. Been playing guitar for 20 years and music overall for 25 years, and I've grown a ton this year musically which is encouraging. In 2021, I intend to spend more time on music than I do on gear comparisons and research

2020 has been the first year in a long time that I didn't buy a guitar.
Of course, the year isn't quite over yet... and I did buy a couple of pedals.

3 guitars this year - 1 new, 2 used & damaged.
1 guitar last year - used, two known previous owners.
1 guitar in 2018 - "damaged"... how do people not know how to fix a damn loose flange? Still, saved $30.

With the exception of a telecaster, I have all the guitar types "covered". I don't need anymore.

Wants change at every passing second, so who knows what next year might bring.
