Nah. My parents are the kind that think 100 euros buys a guitar and amplifier....So they gave me 100 euros, but that's how much I gave my sisters so I broke even. No presents for me this year from them as I'm away 1,000 miles away. I did have a fantastic christmas with my friend's family though. Just as good as with my own, an amazing time.

no guitar pressies for me either. No musical pressies at all in fact- apart from a book on photos of the Beatles ( from my brother who is a pro photographer- he did not take the pictures btw). I did buy my Country Boys as a pressie to myself though.

my dad bought me an abraxas bridge pup with four conductor wire. i'm gunna wire it up to a PRS 5way rotary switch but i have to have 4 conductor wire put on the existing neck pup.
i had a good day yesturday, not as good as last year coz i got a 1969 telecaster. my dad is a big guitar fan as well so we usually want the same thing and then chip in together.
this year was different coz he wasn't interested in new pups

It's Erlewine. :) I got the book from my grandmother. Well, she gave me money and I bought the book. I also got Logic Express 7 with money my parents gave me and I'm tearing my hair out trying to learn how to use the damn thing. Plus, my wife gave me a subscrption to Total Guitar, my second favourite guitar magazine (I already have a subscription to my favourite one, Guitar Techniques).

So I got lots of guitar-y things this year! :) No BKPs for me, but I don't have anything to put them in right now anyways. There are only so many pickups you can get in the one guitar. I'll have to wait until I can afford a new guitar. I wanna build one from Warmoth parts next year sometime.

A MM bridge to complement the mule in my LP! I took the Lindy Fralin I had before and stuck it in my 7-year-old sisters first guitar (her present) - a half-sized tanglewood strat. I should be writhing around on stage with both in the new year.
Hoble Guitars. Mule + MM so far.
