Reply With QuoteMy Martin SPD-16TR was largely a Christmas purchase, using Christmas money in lieu of gifts, along with birthday money also in lieu of gifts, and selling some stuff. So I guess it counts, and it is a major gear acquisition for me for sure!

Any Major Gear Aquisitions for Christmas
With the economy the way it is I was wondering if anyone got any major gear gifts for Christmas? That would include gifts to yourself, or gifts from others.
There was a lot of product out there but I bet not a lot of buyers.

I'm guessing that a new strap and some hangers don't qualify as a major purchase, correct?Originally Posted by ZMAN
In that case, unfortunately no. I may, however, be purchasing a Crate Powerblock soon if all goes according to plan, which will go a long way toward completing my pedalboard puzzle.

I was fortunate enough to get a set of ue4's from Ultimate Ears. Most of the times I play, we run through an in ear monitor system and I've been using universal fit single drivers from westone. These ue4's are dual driver's for better bass response and overall clarity and are custom molded to my ears so they have a really solid seal from outside noise. So basically...i'm really really excited to get these in. Christmas presents involving music are always good.

Black Squier Custom II with P-90s, that screams "play me!"
Gift to myself!

Hey you guys did pretty well. I didn't get anything from gear land. I have used up Christmas and Birthday gifts until 2020. The only way I can justify getting any new gear is to sell something. The only problem is that every time I go to sell, I have excuses. Also I have a 3 week trip to the south planned and that will take the equivalent of a decent Les Paul.

My major acquisitions were this summer when I traded for my DK2M and bought my DVM-made OD2. This Christmas the money I got is going towards a new computer--my first new one since 2002. I suppose it could count as "gear" since I plan on recording with it.

Well, with my wife having rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders, plus myself having one for cubital tunnel, buying the Jet City 20H was about enough.
I did get one very nice gift for Christmas that was guitar related though.

You know I just remembered I bought a Marshall footswitch to go with my Marshall 100 Mosfet. I guess that counts. Not major though.

Bought myself a Pignose a couple of days after Christmas. Does that count?
Addicted to solder....
Only peripherally music-related, but I did finally purchase myself a decent soldering station--one of those Hakko 936 stations that Tung recommends. I've only used it briefly on a pedal repair (not one of mine!) that I did for a guy. Now I'm kicking myself for not having gotten one of these ages ago. SWEET!!!

I guess the LP CLASSIC PLUS falls into that time frame it was close enough.
I will soon have a couple of new couch guitars straps thanks to the wife.

As long as it was bought in the spirit of Christmas, and not just GAS.
I guess we have to take into consideration everyones gear budget is different.
Yes Maxi I guess that Classic is major, a major Score!

Yea, I know how you feel. This is not gear related, but I am doing a reno on my Dad's place and I purchased a table saw. Wow!

Lady Monkus got me an iMac for the home studio after seeing me frustratingly plow through different pc and linux daw's thru 09. Garageband and Logic Express, 4 Gigs Ram. 500 Gig HD. Had to order a bilingual FW cable since the fw on the imac is 800 and my firebox is 400. Got that delivered yesterday and was messing with some software instruments last night. FTW !!!!
