It seems like all my friends have it set on getting new gear with their refund checks. What kinds of sweet stuff are you guys planning on getting?
As for myself, instead of getting that brand new Taylor acoustic I'm taking the more responsible, and much less enjoyable route of paying off a credit card. :(
Eh...maybe next year.

    I already bought a 62 RI.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    nothing for me. it's all going to pay off baby supplies and buy some investments.

    we did, however, just get our prosperity cheques from the province (the government is rolling in money) so i bought a little behringer UB1202FX mixer for my studio and the rest pays for my fulltone choralflange on order.

    I'm getting $100 back from the Federal, and I owe $200 to the State, so thats a big no on gear purchases with a refund.

    I already bought an R4 Les Paul.

    Getting married halfway through the year resulted in a big refund. This year I have it setup properly so I won't be giving the govt an interest free loan for the year.

    That said, I am glad I got the LP. :D

    I bought an E-Mu 1212m (hoping it's quality). I still need to do that whole filing taxes thing, though. Just need to figure out how.

    Buy the Taylor!!! I bought a Taylor 314 CE Acoustic a few years ago and it's the best thing I've ever purchased!

    What kind of Taylor are you looking at?

    If anyone wants a Lovetone Meatball, I have an early one that I'd sell for $550 + shipping/insurance. :). The early ones have a slightly wider sweep and sound a bit fuller in the mids.
