2010 Gear Round Up
What musical gear, aside from strings and picks did everyone get in 2010?
I didn't make any major purchases this year: no new gutars, amps, or pedals.
I did get a Korg clip-on headstock tuner. It is much faster and more accurate than my old intelli-touch tuner (Its over 10 years old). I also got a couple of instructional books, one for Jazz and one called "Guitar Aerobics" which has a few hundred useful exercises nicely organized. I also got the 2Paul Pigat videos. That's it for me, though I do anticipate a guitar, pedal, and maybe some pick-ups in early 2011.
For big stuff, I have to live vicariously through all you folks.

2010 was my Gretsch awakening:
October: G6120-1959LTV
November: G6128TCG
December: G6199-LWP
2011 will be year of financial reckoning.
I think I may have a developing problem..........

This was a non-gear year for me. I bought a Jaguar in '09 and did a few mods that trailed into early 2010 but that was about it. I had to buy a new pickup this year and that's really bitten into the discretionary budget. I also did a lot of traveling early in the year and that vacuums up the money faster'n anything. Other than the Jag' mods and a Snarky tuner I can't recall buying any gear in 2010, not even strings.

Guitar: Gretsch 5120. I added an aluminum tru-Arc bridge and Tara modified it with a TV Jones magnatron neck pup and a Classic Bridge pup.
Amp: Vox AC4TV. I'm currently waiting for a set of replacement tubes 'cause the stock ones (or at least the preamp tube) are on their last legs.
Pedals: TC Electronics Polytune and Barber LTD SR overdrive pedal.

The big deal was a Gibson Firebird. Didn't even know I wanted one, until I stumbled into it. NEVER should have plugged it into that Twin Reverb...

No new guitars for me this year (the last were my two Jets in April & July last year, and then an acoustic for xmas), but I did buy my amp this year; an Orange Dual Terror, and I did build my pedalboard! - I also sold off a lot of stuff, 6 guitars.

After buying the CG Duo Jet last year, I thought I'd lay low for a while.
Then I bought an MXR Carbon Copy from another G-T member.
Then I got a pair of DynaSonic pickups for a project guitar that I decided not to install them in.
Then:
And then:
And then:
And there's a pair of GFS Surf 90 pickups on the way. For the project guitar that I didn't put the Dynas in...

It all started in March when I got my orange 5120 with pinstriping.
That baby was closely followed by an Ibanez 12-string acoustic guitar.
And August was definetely the best time for purchasing a new guitar:
I finally got my G6136SLBP Brian Setzer Black Phoenix.
In addition to the guitars I got several pedals (Marshall Jackhammer and Compressor, Danelectro Echo,...) and a few days back, I ordered my Atomic Brain :-)
