Wow. I had a big year for aquisitions in 2008. I didn't realize until I checked.
I bought 5 guitars an Amp and a Delay pedal.
Most Enjoyable: As far as most enjoyable I would say my 1996 Gibson Les paul Standard.followed closely by my 2008 Gibson Studio. Then there are the Two Squier Deluxes and the CV50s Strat. The DD20 Giga Delay is a sweet pedal if I take the time to read the manual.
Biggest Dissapointment: I guess I would have to say the Marshall Amps. I tried one, and it had a lot of issues, the second one that I bought (DSL 401) has some tube issues that I haven't had time to fix. (Harmonic tube)
It does sound amazing and I am sure once I get a couple of tubes replaced it will sound even better. This is my first second hand amp purchase so it might just be a learning curve for me.
Sales and Trade-ins: I traded a 2006 Epiphone LP Standard and it was a nice guitar but I got the two deluxes in it's place and with the two Gibson purchases it did not hurt at all. I don't regret trading it.
2009 will be an interesting year. I plan on downsizing quite a lot and I am only looking at buying a 2/12 Cab. Probably not the best time to sell equipment so I may wait. Space is the issue now.
