The Guitar Pron Thread

My Breedlove has bone pins. Everything else has plastic. Not sure I could tell the difference in sound.

I don't know how anyone would be so anal retentive to test it (other than Eric Johnson), but other than swapping pins out the differences between guitars would surely swamp the difference between pin material.

NOT acoustic bridge pin related, but...

I decided to buy a Fender Mustang Micro Plus (list $129.99), because they have a bundle on the Fender website that includes the little case for $2 more (usually a $24.99 value).

 

So when I went to checkout, I was offered these shipping options:

That "2 Day" option was tempting, but I went ahead and chose the "Next Day".

Did I make the right choice?

You just never know, could be a tarp.

Enshitification. Just so happens it worked in your favor this time. I wouldn’t get used to it.

So what’s on the Christmas list this year gents? Anyone expecting/asking for new gear?

[jimmyjazz 46990]

I asked for socks.

I feel like if I asked for shit I’d be revealing how much it actually costs.

Although I have hinted about the Jason Isbell Tele. But I don’t think anyone listens that close.

[Chad Fuck 18097]

I asked for two guitar straps.

But I may buy myself a guitar.

I'm asking Santa to make sure my wife keeps turning a blind eye to all my gear

If my bank account survives Christmas I’m thinking about selling some of my cheap guitars they I never play (G&L Tele, P90 Firefly, Les Paul Special, etc) and putting the proceeds towards a decent SSS Strat. Lately I’m feeling more like having fewer, better guitars than a bunch of crap. 
 

I think if pared down to the HH Strat, PRS, a SSS Strat, and my Breedlove and Taylor that would be a nice little stable. I’d keep the cheapo bass and drum rigs for the once every five years that people want to jam in the basement.

Yeah, I've been developing a pile of gear I need to recycle into better/different gear.  I just can't seem to get motivated to get rid of though.  Maybe a new years resolution to thin/change the heard.  I have developed my collection wish list.  That has at least focused my wild-eyed "all of 'em!!!" approach to curating my collection.

I actually sold the first guitar in 30 years this weekend. I have issues letting go.

[DougO 5262]

I have a batch of guitars I've been needing to get rid of to reduce the my clutter of guitars that I really don't play anyway.  I haven't even been playing at all for a good while, yet I still look at guitar sales. I have been determined to not buy any more guitars until I get rid of some, which is also frustrating. 

We need to have our own guitar store and move some stuff, or at least trade some stuff.

I asked my wife for a Murphy lab custom shop Les Paul, which means I’ll probably wind up with this…
