Re: Were you a gear whore this year?

I can't remember what the hell I did this past year but I know I have more guitars than I did the previous year [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Some that I can thing of....

Jackson USA Flat-top black strat with body binding, ebony board and bound neck

Parts Mutt - Charvel dual hum body, USA Jackson M/M neck

Charvel San Dimas Charvel Strat 3 singles, pickguard

Jackson Firebird 2 white...ended up putting a maple charvel neck on her

I bought a few of the import model series and upgraded eveything on em

I did a lot of Floyd upgrades, replaced some rosewood necks with maples, pickup swaps rifins etc.

Re: Were you a gear whore this year?

It's reassuring to know that others have the same sickness/weakness (or whatever you want to call it). So far this year I've added:

Charvel Model 1 in vintage ivory
Charvel Model 2 in electric blue
Charvel Model 6 in cobalt blue
Charvel Journeyman with the 8 ray rising sun graphic
Jackson SL2H in blue ghost flames

And lucky for me I haven't had to sell anything this year.
