So if I combine the above:
* Keep my backup SSS Stratocaster I was supposed to sell last year, but am procrastinating until later this year.
* Put a JBJ back in my Kahler'd Stratocaster to have my '84 to '86 tone. I still have my white HSS pickguard.
* Get 2 more Stratocasters for the Demon and PATB-2. Helps bring eternal happiness.
* Buy a Super 3 and put it in the HM Strat. Gives me the authentic '88 to '92 HM Strat tone I never had AND cures my fear of buying a DiMarzio pickup. My Super Distortion and Evolution came already installed in guitars I bought. Or buy a Stratocaster with a Super 3 in it, transplant the Super 3 to the HM Strat and use the guitar for Loose end #2 below.
Loose end #1, missing my '83 to P-Rails introduction Custom tone. I could pull the P-Rail from my test bed Bullet S-3 and put my DCJ back in.
Loose end #2, missing my '86 to '95 Distortion tone. Maybe get a 3rd new Stratocaster and put the DDJ on the parts shelf in it? Maybe a Warmoth build? It only needs to be a single bridge H configuration. Another check in the eternal happiness column.
I think that about covers the '80s, gets some good pickups off the parts shelf and positions me to try and have more guitars than Little Pigbacon has pedals.
Decisions... decisions...
