I received:

MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay pedal
2x6" LiveWire right angle patch cables
1x12" LiveWire right angle patch cable
1 bag of Dunlop Ultex picks.

The cables were for cleaning up my pedal board and replacing some connections, and the delay is just plain fun.

This year I recieved three Tee-Shirts, one sweater, and a University of Texas "hoodie" sweatshirt, and $100 total from various sources. Mrs. Kat and I usually pool our Christmas money together and do something fun for the family.

Mrs. Kat and I did not exchange gifts this year. The kids made out okay with some good stuff. Older Kid Kat's grandparents and greatgrandfather pooled their money and got her a Wii Fit attachment and game for her Wii.

Baby Kat got a set of drums, a bouncy horse, and a a bunch of other toys.

No gear for me.

DiMarzio Pickups

Weller Soldering Station for mods

No gear for me.

No guitar gear here either, a couple of guitar t-shirts and with the newly built computer and wide screen LCD monitor I can see the training DVDs and videos much better.

I got a set of GFS Texas Premium Strat pickups and the "Made in Mexico" Tremolo upgrade kit that includes a new bridge and saddles and the solid steel trem block that's supposed to greatly improve sustain. I can't wait to get these new mods in!

OK, for X-mas, I bagged:
Sennheiser HD201 headphones
Digitech RP250

And for 2009, the plan is to work (and really HOPE, aha) on getting:
A bonafide tube amp (Peavey Royal 8 5W; OR; a Crate V50-112)
An electric lap steel guit
Bad Monkey
A BYOC pedal or two from DVM

Well, I got the money for my Spector Performer that I bought in October. Vinni also sent my some V-Pick samples that I got on Christmas Eve.

a Duh Voodoo Man built BYOC Script Phaser;
a Planet Waves Fret Poishing Kit;
the following books:
Foundations for Guitar Book 1 by Mark Wein
30-Day Guitar Workout (Book & Dvd) by Jody Fisher
Million Dollar Bash: Bob Dylan, The Band, and the Basement Tapes by Sid Griffin
R. Crumb's Heros of Blues, Jazz & Country (with CD) by Stephen Clat, David Jansen & Richard Nevins

2 books for learning

As far as guitar gear goes that I got for Christmas:

An amp stand
Another Strat style guitar case
A double guitar stand
A Wilkinson tremolo w/steel block (for a Strat project)
A BYOC Classic Phaser kit

...and a few other little odds and ends for projects.

I was very disappointed with Warmoth, though. On December 11th my wife ordered two pickguards and a set of Kluson/Gotoh vintage style Stat/Tele tuners from Warmoth. They didn't even ship them until December 22nd, and then UPS compounded the problem by "re-scheduling" the delivery for January 5th, which means that UPS mis-routed the package.

The good news is that Music 123 came through with very fast, & free shipping, along with 15% off on the entire order. With some of the items being bulky and and a little heavy, the free shipping was much welcomed by Mrs. Bloozcat. :

GFS was efficient with ordering and shipping as usual. :

How is that Schalloch stuff? I've been looking at one of their cajons and am curious if it is a decent quality.

The Schalloch Cajons are quite good. As other Schalloch Equipment, they are built by Meinl as far as I know.

I got my hands on the roadhouse strat thats been under the Christmas tree for the past 3 weeks . So far I`m pretty impressed with it considering my prior Strat phobia / issues . The neck is relly good , I`ve noticed all my other guitars have rosewood fingerboards and this one makes a nice change with the 'tinted' maple .

Gear-wise I recieved the Korg Pandora px5d

and a Paul Gilbert guitar lessons DVD set(it's still in the mail somewhere : )

The bongos are very well made - they came with a tuning wrench

I paid $59.99 - they are now on sale at $49.99 : We got the Vintage Sunburst - very nice, sounds good to my ears

The other stuff we got are by Latin Percussion - they seem to manufacture nice stuff.
