Hackubus Posted June 6, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkavenger Posted August 11, 2013 Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCChris Posted September 26, 2013 Share 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.

veatch Posted September 26, 2013 Share 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...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
