What Guitar-related Christmas Presents Did You Get?

Recommended Posts

Posted

A late-arriving gift; a set of .012" TI jazz flatwound strings.

These will go on an Epiphone LP special once I've had someone who knows what they're doing dress the frets properly.

I had already pre-empted Christmas in offering to myself my bucket-list guitar : a Hofner President E2 thinline, Florentine cut, having foolishly traded away the first one I had, late '60s. Half a century later, I got this one from a Reverb seller in Sweden. The Christmas gift..? Our Daughter, thinking (rightly...) that it would be difficult to find something I'd want/need that I didn't already have, posted a sum of money into my bank which covered the cost of the hard case and shipping of my dream guitar. Much appreciated, and a Very Nice Surprise. Here's a (bad...) photo of the delivery and unpacking of the guitar...

I got a Schaller Sure Claw, fitted it today.

A nice little upgrade from the original claw that makes equal spring tension adjustment very easy.

Interesting - does that fit a Fender cavity? Any change in the sound (wondering if a bit more mass adds anything sonically). Are they the standard springs the guitar had? 

 

 

This year just before Christmas I bought myself a Joyo American Sound. Been a few years since I got bought any guitar bits, but that's ok. The only bits I really need / want now are amps and guitars - sort of thing I wouldn't expect anyone else to buy me.
