Anyone Get Anything Fun For Christmas?

[solspirit]

Between Christmas & my birthday I got 3 guitars.

A Glarry, a trans red semi-hollow f hole tele with a single coil in the bridge and a humbucker in the neck. With a birch neck & hpl fretboard

A white Grote strat hss with a coil tap on the bridge humbucker, it's got a sweet roasted maple neck & fretboard.

A Pyle with a natural finish, the clear coat had 2 tiny blems otherwise it was all good. It also came with a killer gig bag and and a voucher redeemable for a Holy War distortion pedal.

It's a Pyle alright, a 14.4 lb Pyle of paulonia!

All three need a light fret dressing, none were bad but, they could be better. 2 had loose volume knobs and all three need a setup per my specs, pickup height, action, etc. The necks are straight with no adjustment necessary.


Other stuff.

A cool strat body for a Fender neck that I have. This, just the body and a hardtail version.

, a set of black & red "invader type" pickups for a matte black strat type I have with no pickguard. 2 cool straps. A beautiful loaded mop pickguard.
I'm pretty sure that's it.

Ooh, pointy (sort of) toys, my second favorite things! How thick is the blade on the Quadrant, I've only ever seen pics of them?

.105 thousandths of an inch on the back of the blade. A sheepsfoot blade isn't pointy, but since the cutting edge is hollow ground I expect it be an excellent slicer - cheese, meat, paper, string, whatever.

I've become very fond of the scan grind, I have a couple Swedish and Finnish knives that are ridiculously sharp, without any complex sharpening rigs

The MG 132 FR came today. we intentionally waited until Monday to ship it in order to miss some of the Christmas shipping madness. Unplayed 30 year old guitar that has been in a collection. The seller set it up with 9 to 42 before he shipped it. This one is an absolute killer in Playability and tone plus is absolutely stunning to look at. Its onebof the verybbest playing and sounding true bolt on Super strat guitar I have ever played. Add that its iabsolutely stunning to look at and what a killer this one is! Here she is alone and then with my 95 MG 120. I also threw in a a photo on the 95 Silverado I stole at a Pawn Shop a couple weeks ago. To find 2 ultra rare US Washburns like these this close together was unreal. These are my favorite guitars of all time out of all of the 1980's and 90's superstrats bar none. The MG 132FR was the top of the Mercury II line and there were only 60 built to sell plus this one and they were only marketed to the Japenese market. The only add know for these guitars was in a Japanese catalog and this was the specific guitar pictured in that catalog as the flagship of the entire US Chicago Custom MG guitar line. I can't believe this guitar is now mine!

[magillver]

Not a great pic, but with my Grinch sweatshirt in storage I did get myself this Christmas ugly sweater.



Now if this thread was in The Sound Room, I could add a pic of a sweatshirt I was gifted.

My step-daughter got me this cool multimeter, and my daughter-in-law got me the Eric Clapton "Journeyman" Deluxe Edition CD, with bonus songs and a booklet.

 

[jeremy]

nice looking meter! ive always liked that album too, didnt know there was a deluxe edition

I got a set of 4 leather fender pick coasters. Very cool.

Will last me the rest of my life.

My wife is awesome.

Oh, I also got a js2450 for Christmas back in september.

I got a beautiful, healthy little baby girl for Xmas!

It was a "precipitous" birth, less than 2 hours from the first subtle contraction until I was catching the baby in my hands! Midwife arrived literally as the head was crowning!

Totally natural (my wife's amazing!), done in the comfort of our home, and no complications. A little over a week in and baby and mommy are both doing great!

Couldn't ask for a better gift than that!
