2013 "Buy No Guitars" Challenge - **WINNERS ANNOUNCED**


Feynman

Recommended Posts

It's a fair cop gov.

I failed.

In a moment of weakness, (about one hour 20 minutes ago) I nailed a white 1988 SS1 Std on ebay from the bloke who sold me my first Hamer back in 2004, who shares the fun of Crohns Disease with me. Lovely chap. Did any of you see it on eBay, or did I just swoop in in stealth mode?

Strike me out Mitch!

(Irrelevant clip)

Whiskey!

So who's left? Is this down to Mitch and I? So far I haven't even really been tempted.

Nah, there's a bunch of filler guys who were never going to buy a guitar anyway.

Unfortunately, you did not say this best.

I'm out.

I've sold a pair of Charvels & a SG recently, this puts me at the top, right?

Inspirational Video:

Technically I think I should still be in this, but I will mark myself out anyway.

For the record, all I did was buy a guitar, so I'm not sure that should count.

You know, I was just a little confused. I thought it was "buy no guitars during the 2013Lunar Year". So since I got all my guitars purchased by 10 February, I think I'm technically still in it.

Or something.

Let me be the first to offer a congratulatory 'neener neener'.

That said, it's tough (not buying a cool new guitar every now & again), innit?

I was smart enough not to ever claim I would buy no guitar.

Mid 1970's Ovation Deacon, modified. Hot single coil pups (from an Ovation Viper of the same era), piezo saddles and preamp added, stereo output jack to split the piezo signal from the pups, and a Koa veneered pickguard.

Awesome! Ace's original choice in axe!

I've always liked the look of these, but have never actually played one.

I think the official start date was Jan 11. I leave it to Mitch for a ruling.

And i'm still in, but getting weak.

Eh, I was just making an extremely weak attempt to be funny in the same vein as Mitch. I'm way out.

In fact, you can take 9 other people off the list at random due to my purchases.

I took advantage of my wife being out of the country and the discovery of Yamaha being severely under-valued/-estimated/-priced to swap out 10 guitars in my collection
