What guitar gear did you get for Christmas?

[Robert]

Me, none. I buy my own guitar gear, or else there would be screwups...

I haven't planned next gear purchase. Seems like I'm quite content at the moment - no major GAS issues for now.

My 2nd best Christmas present was my studio room is practically finished building just before Christmas. I just need to paint the walls, and the contractor will be installing a metal door next week.

1st, well, being with my family is of course the best Christmas present!

I'm in the same boat as you. No one buys me guitar gear because once you get past basic equipment presents start to get a little expensive. I did get a cool little HD video recorder though. That will be a lot of fun to use with the band.

Got some Christmas cash to spend on gitar stuff. Don't know what to get yet. Might get a hard case for my semi hollow body. Kinda thinking about one of these http://store.guitarfetish.com/xvseofgu.html

Nice Pez... I've got one of those too!

 

[Ilovecheapguitars]

my bass buddy has one of those basses pes. funny thing about it it, he has 3 extra expensive Cliff Bordwell basses(if you look him up, the newest model is named after my buddy) and he plays the SX more.

I don't ask anyone to buy me guitar gear so nobody does, just pajama bottoms. over the past week or so I did pick up 2 complete guitars and one body. I'm waiting until after the holidays to decide exactly what direction I'm going to go with each one.

Partly my Martin, as it was part purchased with Christmas funds received in advance. Other than that, a pack of Dunlop Ultex 1.0 mil picks. Nice!

I got me a box of candy I bought myself and a small wooden clip shaped like a guitar and intended to help squeeze tubes like toothpaste etc. So I guess it was guitar related.

I never get any presents, I always tell everybody I don't want anything and don't celebrate birthdays etc. Maybe when I hit 40 I'll buy myself something though, maybe a bathtub.

My wife and Kodiak got me THE BEATLES complete set of remastered CD's and the huge BEATLES ANTHOLOGY, and I somehow have this new Carvin C350 acoustic, I'll post pictures soon as take time to stop running around to family.
We also got a USB turntable and I hope to be able to record a lot of our 45's to CD.

I pick out my own gear......but the wife said I could use my AWARD $$$'s from work (for doing a bang-up job) and get my self something nice and put that under the tree. I am stoked with this:

MACK GEM COMBO AMP :happy

Pretty much what everyone else said. No one buys me a gear gift because they wouldn't know what they were buying anyway.

For my own Christmas present I bought myself the Roland RE-20 Space Echo.

I can't wait to play with this thing. The videos blew me away. I haven't heard anything like this since the old 201 unit was around.

I hope you've been borrowing someone else's in the mean time. :rollover

I didn't get any gear-related things for Christmas. I only asked for money (tacky, I know) but I think the time has come to finally update my box. My really old Celeron 400 system that my kids have been using finally seems to be giving up the ghost. They'll get my current one once the upgrade is accomplished.

 

[Commodore 64]

I nabbed a Samick Jazzmaster with P90s.

 

[Eric]

I asked for a bunch of stuff (strap, hangers, Bonamassa DVD, hygrometer, fingerpicking books), but didn't get any of it. I still have another round to go, with different relatives, so I have my fingers crossed...

I might buy myself a Crate Powerblock off of CL when I get back home.

While it hasn't been a good Christmas for guitar, I did get a new tent and sleeping bag, so I'm ready for spring!

 

[Childbride]

i got a BF-3 flanger and a PH-3 phase shifter.

i also got a really cool digi photo frame from my boss, w/ 2 gigs of memory.

shiner and i went through ten years of pics to upload to that sucker, and i wanted to cry. life passes like smoke through a keyhole; a promise you made to someone while you weren't looking.

i go south tomorrow, and thank the Powers that Gram is still there to visit.

 

[player]

I don't ask but me lil brother might get me another good acoustic from his luithier buddy.I did get to change strings on both guitars I have presently the Fender and the Fullerton.might get a hard shell case for the fully myself.

not holding my breathe on that acoustic though

Well, no....LOL...we only have showers, no baths

 

[Monkus]

I've been researching the heck out of DAW's for the past 2 months and :what Lady Monkus gets me a 21" iMac. Great Christmas here ! :happy

I have the full blessings to order what I need to build my tele. I have the neck on order and have found a vendor to custom cut the blank for me....it will be 1.5" of Mahogany with .25" Spalted/Burl Maple cap. The neck is maple with the classic Fender Telecaster headstock. She will be getting the GFS "Fat TC Alnico” bridge p'up and a “Classic TC Alnico neck p'up" that I got from DVM back in October....I decided to build a new Tele instead of upgrading the S101 at this time....altho I will probably go ahead and do the S101 as practice before doing the new one....just don't want to risk messing up $300 worth of neck and body wood. Patience is not one of my stronger virtues

I also have a set of Gibson 490r 498t pups that I have to make the final arrangements on with a fellow boardie so I can get them shipped and installed in the Avion Les Paul

 

[ted s]

No guitar gear, but do tickets to Clapton and Beck count ?

 

[Tig]

I guess the $50 pawn shop Squier Tele counts, but gift wise, I received these books from my Mrs. Tig:
The Listening Book: Discovering Your Own Music
and
Zen Guitar

We focus on the kids, and keep presents between us very small.

Just a tad, Ted.
