Well, my musical acquisitions have been neither as numerous nor as grandiose as many of you, but....
Mistake: The Digitech RP-200A Modeling Guitar Processor. Had to have it, then couldn't figure out why after playing with it for a while. Valuable object lesson in that I discovered that I'm a stomp pedal guy, with no patience for dialing in 73 different parameters and saving the result to some vast library of patch settings with exotic names. The good news was that I sold it on eBay for almost exactly what I paid for it. No harm, no foul....
Match Made in Heaven: I went to GC to try out Ibanez Artcore semi-hollowbodies, and picked up an Epiphone Dot that happened to be sitting in a stand next to the amp I was plugged into.

Most passionate guitar gear buy. Hmmm . . . . tough question. I have a stable full of gear that I really dig. But if I'd have to narrow it down to one, it'd be the recent acquisition of my '68 Fender Super Reverb. It was and always has been the pot of gold sitting at the end of my "Grail Tone" rainbow - the long-anticipated culmination of a dream. But perhaps more importantly, it serves as my own personal launching pad into whole new world of tone and playing, offering me a point of clairty so profound that I am both awestruck and inspired at the same time. I could only describe it as the feeling a space traveler would have when planting a flag on a distant planet, and saying to himself "I'm finally here."
Only my fingers and soul know where this journey leads . . .
