So, because I always enjoy hearing about people getting new pieces of gear, anybody get anything cool this year?

I got an mij sunburst tele with a bigsby and rosewood fretboard, as well as a red avatar 2x12 cab to go with my new dr. z amp.

Hope you all did well. Merry Christmas everyone!

Was really hoping someone would get me the novel 'On The Road', it didn't happen though :(

So I've just ordered myself an Electro Harmonix Micro Synth. :)

I plan on starting the new year by creating a new form of expression, I've named it Synth-Doom. :)

I got a capo and a new metronome. Although a rick 330 or a new non-buzzing acoustic woud have been nice.

What i really need is more practice, not gear.

Sad face.
