OK, so what should I get?

[DalyTek]

Well, my work gave me a $50 gift certificate for doing a great job. It's good at a variety of retailers, but the only one that caught my attention was Guitar Center.

Now my wife virtually NEVER lets me buy any guitar-related stuff (she hates "that damn addiction" of mine!) but this is $50 that she can't touch!
I know it's not a lot to work with, but looking for some good ideas on what to get with it. Any ideas fellow guitar people?

Order a $4000 CS Jackson on the credit card and use the $50 to pay the first minimum monthly credit card payment! :idea:

[DalyTek]

I have not been able to find a company that is stupid enough to give me a credit card.
...and I'm not stupid enough to put that $4000 CS Jackson on my debit card, so I think I'm limited to that $50. I may be able to sneak in a little cash on top of the gift certificate, but not much.

Get a Ferrari. You won't be dissapoint.

a Voxamp?

Jonesing for any stomp boxes? If you can throw a little bit of cash on top, it will open up your options too.

How are you situated for mic stands, guitar stands, pickups, tubes?

If the missus is annoyed by your guitar addiction, how much blow can you buy for 50 bucks? That's an addiction that will make your guitar one seem completely benign.

Ummm...no. I'm very lucky to have one this hot and would never be able to find one better.

With enough $ for a pack of strings

[DalyTek]

Yeah, but the one I like is $89.99. Wife will think I'm retarded for sure if I get it lol.

I bought one of those and to be honest, a 'string swing' is way better... 50$ offers up a 'limited' range of things. If you don't already have a 'basic' guitar care kit(string winder, polish, oils, etc...) that would be the first thing in my book. If you're already set on the basics(extra pics, strings, strap locks, straps...), then maybe try something like a SPC???

[DalyTek]

Jayster, I do have the basics, and even a few advanced care items. Wish I could buy fret files for $50, but not gonna happen. What's an SPC?
