Feynman Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've got a new Strat inbound to start the 3rd Annual "Year of the Strat" event.Shawn, since you have resolved to buy no more guitars this year, I'll resolve to keep this Strat longer than you can keep your vow.Whaddya' say?We probably need a wager of some sort...

Kurt L Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hey, I admire Shawn for even trying. And to state it publicly on the HFC? The man has balls...The real questions are: 1) Which temptation will prove too great? 2) Who will serve as enablers by buying some of his old gear? (Still digging that H&K Rotosphere, BTW...)

cynic Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If this was between Feynman moving his latest acquisition before Brentrocks sells something, I wouldn't touch it.But I stand behind anyone trying to hold out longer than either of the above two things happening.If Bubs accepts, he wins this hands down.

Lockbody Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If Bubs accepts, he wins this hands down.Agreed. My money is on Bubs. especially if the Strat Feynman is getting is an EJ like he was looking for. That's a polarizing guitar right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veatch Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Too close to call.If we want some real stakes:Mitch sells first = money from sale goes to Shawn.Shawn buys first = guitar goes to MitchOr more realistic:Mitch sells first = 25% of the money from sale goes to Shawn.Shawn buys first = guitar goes to Mitch for 4 months (which is about how long he would keep it anyways...)

bubs_42 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The Deal is Struck and Mitch i'm sure will update. Lay your bets out if your wanna. Maybe we can take the wagers and collect them all to the server fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feynman Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Damn, Veatch, that is hardcore. We didn't go that far with it, but I like how you think. Still, we decided it needs to hurt a little.Here's the deal:bubs had a resolution to buy only one guitar this year, and a few other things (amp modules, misc stuff). We are focused on the guitar here only.I had a resolution to acquire a nice amp and Strat, and KEEP them all year. We are focused again on the guitar here (Strat is in the mail to me as I type this). As long as the Strat is not defective or something when it arrives, the wager is official.The loser is to pay $150 to the HFC fund, and another $50ish gift to the winner.We would also like to solicit suggestions from the forum for funny/appropriate winner/loser gestures/prizes. Please post some ideas, oh wise and funny ones.This is going to be difficult.Feel free to have your own side bets and such, bearing in mind that I seem to be the huge underdog here.In the unlikely event we both make it ALL YEAR, we'll have to figure out appropriate rewards.P.S. My local friend just informed that I "would be better off just sending in the $200 right now." Feel the love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Mitch as long as CMatthes does't sell his Mahogany Vector, its going to be a long year..... I don't suspect an early demize but you should start a Timer. Remember fella's in the event that the World Ends short of the Jan1 2013 we must call that a draw.

kizanski Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well, Shawn, I hope the ONE guitar you bought/will buy this year turns out to be worthy.I believe it arrives today, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
