atquinn Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I'll wait until it comes in next week to post some pics. Lets just say that it's the opposite of vintage. Yes sir.-Austin
Feynman Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Forgive the delayed update - I've been in Japan for the past two weeks. Congrats to Austin.

Hackubus Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I came very close a couple weeks back. A stoopid clean sunset metallic (THINK PINK BITCHES) '87 SG Elite came on the horizon, but I stayed the course & resisted.
FrettyMcgee Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 If this wasn't overpriced by about $1300, I'd be so out of the challenge. 80s Larrivee Hurray for delusional pawn brokers!

I guess that means we're on track for no one to make it...
Toadroller Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Looks more like a US Open. One winner at or under par.
velorush Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I'm just glad to still be another of Feynman's "filler guys!"
veatch Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Just checking in to see how everyone else is doing. Personally, i think i'm on a roll. No GAS, and no money.

Punkavenger Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I'm still in! ... This Strat is awesome, my only other plans are building a partsocaster tele (jazzcaster?) next year and then picking up a SG for humbucker goodness somewhere down the road.
velorush Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Few things working in my favor: I'm still really enjoying trying to learn bass [and am now shopping for a bass amp!] Rebuilding my few remaining guitars has been a lot of fun and provided great results (Rios + Kiz' Senior = delicious) (Lollars + Gibby = magical, chewy, semi-hollow goodness) (Suhr ML/ML/V60LP + VHRRI Strat = great combination [though I'll have to argue with Mr. Suhr's contention that a 0.10 μF (not the Hamer-approved 0.010 μF, but the vintage Fender 0.10!) cap is the best choice - too much signal going to ground. It actually causes a noticeable output drop!]). I just acquired this Stratastic device: The biggest temptation to the challenge so far has been that purple sparkly Cruisebass on eBay. Purple! Sparkly! eBay!
BlueRedWhite Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Wow, wait, cmatthes is still IN??? is he coercing people??, cause no way he hasn't buy anything yet!!

MCChris Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 ^^^^Agreed. Almost done with September, the month I bought the MCC last year. The unfortunate but understandable lack of a Chicago Hamer event this year should make October a little easier to get through. Then comes December, my birthday month.It ain't over yet.
Feynman Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 I still can't believe I am out of this on a bullshit technicality.

The unfortunate but understandable lack of a Chicago Hamer event this year should make October a little easier to get through. Then comes December, my birthday month. It ain't over yet. Birthday and Christmas... Hmmm... But it is a "*Buy* no Guitars" challenge, so do gifts count?
veatch Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 I wonder what's happening in January 2014? I'm thinking we kick-start the economy with a 2014 "Buy Guitars" Challenge - see who buys and sells the most guitars for the year. (the buy/sell allows those with the "one in, one out" spousal mandate in place to still be competitive...)
