Best and worst buy or sale of 2010!

[street music]

I haven't bought a lot this year but what I did buy has given me a lot of enjoyment and I've been content to enjoy them. My Carvin C350 solid mahogany
that I got at Christmas has really become one of my best purchases ever and since my Takamine is my only Acoustic-Electric I made the purchase of the new AGa70 VOX amp. This amp is amazing in clarity-tone and awesome reverb with great tube sound.
Other than that strings and most recent more V-picks as my friends seem to stick them in their pocket after borrowing one.
I did get 2 books that anyone should have-The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook and The Best of Bob Dylan Chord Songbook , both of these books are great for someone who wants to play and sing in a solo setting, SINCE MY VOICE ISN'T SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE OUT IN PUBLIC.
WAIT ! There is still time for that G.A.S. attack before the year ends.

The economy and other issues kept me from buying anything significant, but GAS induced me to make one trade at my Friendly Local GAS Station that actually took 2 steps to complete that I'm happy with.

This '02 Takamine Santa Fe EAC38C...



...was converted into this new Peavey PowerSlide and Ibanez SZR-720 (along with nice LongHollow Leathers strap for my G&L ASAT, a cable & a 3-pack of D'add strings):



...but after getting the Ibanez home and playing it more, I realized I didn't care for its switching and tone control limitations, I worked out bringing it back and waiting for something closer to an LP-type axe...a couple of weeks later, this funky (mysteriously cloudy headstock finish) '07 Washburn Idol WI66PRO, modded to defeat the stock Washburn VCC tone circuitry so as to be a true 2-Tone control guitar, turned up at the store, they called me, and I grabbed it:



My plan was to convert the Tak into 2 pieces I could unload easier for cash if need be, but the Idol changed that notion. I still might part with the PowerSlide, and maybe some other piece of gear, if the one guitar I still long for happens to turn up here...an Epiphone John Lennon EJ160E...one did a couple of years ago, but I missed pulling the trigger fast enough.
