    Default So, what did you get for Christmas?

    Any cool guitar gear? I bought myself my guitar presents before Christmas, the Lexicon reverb, Maxon SD-9 and my lava cables.

    Not exactly guitar gear, but my dear wife gave me a super nice and super sharp chef knife. Sweet - it cuts onions like butter. One of these.

    My guitar playing sounds so much more "cutting edge" now.

    From my family and Santa:

    Musician's Friend hard cases for both my guitars. Tweed with red for the Strat, black archtop with green for the acoustic. Nice cases by the way for way less than anywhere else I saw.

    An Eric Clapton acoustic instructional vid by the Hal Leonard co.
    Dean Markley sound hole pick up for the acoustic, works great!
    EC Anthology guitar book. (my wife is an acoustic and EC fan)

    Ibanez TS7 (being returned in favor of likely a Boss DS-1 and a Bad Monkey)

    Some $$ toward my amp.

    couple of guitar stands.

    A wok thingy that goes on a barbecue.

    New Year's gift for myself: buying my amp. Struck the deal on a good used Peavey Classic 30 in Provo. Working out shipping now. :-)

    Robert you are such a cut up!

    Well before Christmas I got a few things which could be considered Christmas stuff for myself I suppose. A SX bass, a Shure SM57 mic and Two Eminence Tonkers which I just love so far. I do have to break them in to loosen them up a bit but they are so natural sounding, no mud and just the right amount of ching chang and bite.

    No knives though...man I could use some knives...

    Eminence Tonkers, eh? Heard good things about them. I'd like to try the Wizard speakers some day, or the Patriot. Heck any of those Eminence speakers! They are very nice.

    After all the stuff I bought in 2006, I had to pretty much forego any musical gifts for Christmas. I did buy myself one of those build-your-own-clone TS-808 replica kits after checking out that link that Tot posted, and the UPS tracking site says it's on the delivery truck this AM. Time to warm up the soldering iron!!

    My main gift--and a total surprise--was a new Seiko watch from my wife. It's one of those "kinetic" models that stores energy from the movement of your arm as you wear it, and never needs a battery. Pretty cool!

    I got some clothes which I badly needed (who's got time to shop when you're playin' right). Some DVDs....iTunes gift cards....and a Fender gig bag for my Strat. My Tele took over the SKB case and I got tired of dusting off my guitar when it wasn't being played (Warren how do you do it!) And last but not least a new Fender logo guitar strap from my teenager!

    Nice knife! Looks like you and I will be doing the prepping for the fretnet annual BBQ. It's really hard to beat a great knife.

    I got a Logitech 3200 wireless keyboard and mouse and a new lamp for my desk. I was really wanting peace on the planet but it was out of stock.

    So you'll be picking faster than ever now to keep the watch from stopping?

    A book! Yes, a book!
    Do I need to say more? I clearly put two all tube amps on my christmas letter and she had all chances in the world to chose between the two of them....and make me the happiest man in the world!!!

    And then......A BOOK! :-(

    To be honest, I did expect nothing...

    We had a beautiful celebration with the family!

    But next year.....*lol*

    Since I wear my watch on my left wrist, it's the fretboard fingering that keeps the watch charged. That's why I'm trying to learn some of that wicked-fast EVH tapping stuff!
