My brother's birthday is a few days before Christmas, and back when we started Under Eden, I paid 50% down on a used Charvel 550XL as a present for him. Today, I saw something a little more unusual while at Music Go Round with a friend, and decided to put it on layaway for Little Brother:
Garbage picture from the MGR site, but it looks really nice in person. It's an MIK Samick Artist with bolt-on neck, 29 frets on rosewood, S/H pickup layout, their equivalent of a JT500 trem (satin chrome) and...hell, no idea what the body wood is. I bought it somewhat as a gag gift, because he mostly sticks to playing rhythm and has absolutely NO use for that many frets, but it's kind of cool in its own way. For $199, it seemed like the right thing to do! Played and sounded way better than any budget guitar has a right to. I'm tempted to keep it for myself, but I think he'll dig it.

Maybe now he'll learn some solos
