So I know all of you asked for Gibson LPs and Marshall Fullstacks and all the high-end stuff you want, but what did you GET for Christmas in the gear bag?

Bagged myself an Epi Valve Jr. combo and I have to say, for the size, it packs a punch and when the volume is cranked, the distortion sounds better than most pedals, including my Fulltone OCD.

    Ok, it is not a guitar, but I bought my husband an Ovation electric Ukulele ...he already has plenty of guitars so I thought something different would be fun...he seems to love it - already playing some into the wild songs. Such a happy sounding instrument!

    A copy of Beauty of the Burst, which is a photographic tribute to the 1959 Sunburst LP, as close as I'm gonna get to one.
    A pair of Gibson guitar stools, my wife bought over the net from Nashville, which was pretty cool.
    The Heavy Metal Vault CD set, interesting.
    Slash's biography
    Into the Wild soundtrack
    Bought myself Raising Sand

    We have a trip to the US coming in a few weeks, so there was no point in paying Oz prices for stuff, when a shop-a-thon is imminent.
    Music is not a competetion.

    I got cash from my family as they all live so far away and i'll be buying another tele. It's a fender lite ash tele in the vintage white. I played one a few weeks ago and it was lust at first sight :), absolutely love the color (gorgeous in real life), the birdseye neck is awesome, really smooth and comfy and the tone is very cool, has the classic tele sound.

    looks like this..

    That's a pretty Tele. I wasn't even thinking about Teles but now I'm coveting yours!

    There's too much other stuff to buy first. :(

    and i know what you mean, it's never ending isn't it. There's always something you need/want. 'It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine....' ;)

    I got 100 bucks from analogman I'm going to put towards an Octron.

    I also will take another $50 gift and finally buy the gotoh vintage locking tuning machines from stewmac for my stratocaster.
    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.

    We've been completely broke for 4-months, so we just weren't able to celebrate Xmas this year.
    Our parental units just sent me one of these: CLICK HERE - yeah.
    Cool, it's almost enough money for me to get one of my amps tuned up.
    It's difficult when you have G.A.S. and no $$$$

    i treated myself to a smith 6 string.

    it's used,and a bit banged up,but it sounds great and will tide me over till i can afford a new one.

    I can't speak for the Hiwatt, but the Tweed will sound like heaven in fenders. It sounded good in my orange.... GREAT in a vibro king with a casino.

    Rarely did I not roll the bass roll off all the way up (clearly I'm a single coil guy) but man... the fender type Jfet circuits.... are brilliant.

    I only recieved a Fulltone T-shirt! But I won the fantasty football league at work, so something possibly getting built head wise in the near future is quite possible. Probably more around tax season.

    yeah, i really enjoy these amp-ish pedals. the matchbox is really growing on me. unfortunately, the orange i tried failed to work. my first failure.

    i'm curious as to what the tweed with the valve jr. will sound like.

    oh and i'm almost done my 4 knob fuzz face. it's ending up in the fuzz factory realm.

    I got a Jackson Dinky but it was really a gift to myself from some money I've been setting aside.

    Nothing guitar related, but I did get cash- some of which I used to buy a toolbox to turn into a pedalboard.

    I got a bunch of packs of Gibson electric and Martin acoustic strings. I also got a $30 Guitar Center gift card, two Beatles tab books, and an issue of Guitarist magazine (which is infinitely better than Guitar World, btw). Awesome. :D
