What's on your Christmas wish list?

jspeter51 · November 15th, 2009, 10:04 PM

My wife asked me tonight for my Christmas list... I am pondering the answer because most of the stuff I want is out of our budget this holiday season. So what do you guys want this Christmas? Guitar related or other....

Zeppelanoid · November 15th, 2009, 11:08 PM

A laptop for my studdies.

And to get some stuff like amplitube running through their and maybe some stuff to do recording. Could be fun!

Tdot · November 15th, 2009, 11:10 PM

Coffee
Pears from Harry & David
GPS
DSLR
Rice Custom guitar
a supercar
a trunk monkey
heated driveway
a team of magic elves to complete my unfinished basement
a pony, or a puppy, or a giant robot

If I'm lucky I'll get the top 20%, if I get more than that, I'm dreaming (don't wake me).

Warm Gums · November 15th, 2009, 11:16 PM

I'm getting a "Lionel Lines" FA diesel & a caboose
If I get a bonus at work I'm treating myself to a new pair of Adidas Sambas..

Alesis SR-16 and Digitec Jam man. Simple stuff. I have plenty of guitars, well, you know what I mean. I have plenty of amps and pedals, well, you know what I mean. So I could use the drum machine and looper so I can practice with more stuff. More stuff man, more stuff!

yark14 · November 16th, 2009, 12:16 AM

Since my girl is going to school in Springfield, Mass and I'm in Iowa....a plane ticket to see her is all I want for Christmas.

kp8 · November 16th, 2009, 12:33 AM

mistletoe action.

Zillinois · November 16th, 2009, 03:27 AM

My son's two front teeth :)

Eric Karonen · November 16th, 2009, 06:57 AM

Same thing every year, peace ... nothing material on my list outside of tp!

Pappy · November 16th, 2009, 07:28 AM

I have a squire affinity tele that has gone with me everywhere the military has sent me in the last couple of years. I take it apart, pack it with my luggage and put it back together when I get where I'm going. I'll continue to bring it everywhere the military sends me and hopefully it will last the 20+ years with me replacing or fixing what needs it. In the learning process, I learned you have to wrap a shirt or towel aroun the neck or the frets may get gouged and possibly gouged bad. That happened to mine. Now I stay away from the 7th fret for the most part.

So I asked Santa for a new neck, preferably lacquered so finger wear can show (the body already has wear so it looks a little off not matching) and with a nice fat profile an big frets.

Santa said maybe after this upcoming deployment. :-)

SackvilleDan · November 16th, 2009, 08:02 AM

A new set of pickups for my Strat, along with a black pickguard so I can cop some better Gilmour

But really, a Callaham bridge for my MIM Strat and some upgraded tuners. And the pickups!

jkingma · November 16th, 2009, 08:05 AM

The only thing I need is some sandpaper and glue. I'm running a bit low on each.

The only thing I want is health and happiness for the family and a nice turkey dinner.

RomanS · November 16th, 2009, 08:25 AM

I'm intrigued by the Line6 M9, and might put that on my wishlist...

octatonic · November 16th, 2009, 08:29 AM

We decided ages ago that my xmas present is something I buy, give to the missus to wrap.
I am hard to buy for.

I pretty much only ever want ebay bargains- it makes no sense for her to buy me something new when I can get it for 1/3 of the new price online.
This year I am getting an Ibanez RG550 limited edition that I bought on ebay 2 weeks ago.

Last year was some Barden tele pickups.

It does take the surprise out of it- but I usually get something else along the way.

Good answer!!

I'm toying between an SX sharkfin w/P-90s and a semi-hollow LP-style from GFS. Hoping for a bunch of BB gift cards to help with my new stomp box collection.

Mike Bruce · November 16th, 2009, 08:45 AM

Nothing. I don't need anything more than I have. I wish my family would give to charities instead.

Okay, a nice meal and get-together with the family, especially my kids who are away at school. That's all I want.

Peace, Mike.

Robbied_216 · November 16th, 2009, 05:31 PM

I haven't really thought about it due to some budgeting limitations, but my wife is finishing up her job early December, so I am really hoping for Christmas that she can slide straight into another job. That would be nice. Its tough, I always get little bits for my guitars and amps to keep them in shape and keep my gear in order through out the year, so when Christmas comes around, I'd actually prefer if it if we just spent more money and got her things she wants.
We don't have kids, so it kinda makes it a little easier. But in saying that, I'd love to spend some money on getting my MIJ 50's Strat fixed up. Callaham, new pickups, fret level and dress, setup...that'd be nice!

morroben · November 16th, 2009, 05:45 PM

A good, decent paying, steady job. I'm over the construction game.

After world peace, an end to hunger, pain, and suffering... I think a bit of quiet time with the family would be nice.

jazztele · November 16th, 2009, 06:51 PM

a new model fostex MR-8.

I've had an old one for about 8 years and i really like it, but the new ones have so much more memory, it's like i'm running a commodore 64...

Not too many here wishing for toys. I hope to have the family together for a nice holiday, but it would be cool if there was a set of Glendale knobs under the tree...

Still waiting for some money to come through so's I can get that ring mod I've been jonesing for. But I'd settle for a nice ribeye grilled to the rare side of medium rare.

to be outta debt...took out some high interest loans to repair my jeep...still paying on those things...GRRR...anybody got a couple grand just lying around wondering what to do with it just send it my way.

StratDal · November 17th, 2009, 08:21 AM

I'd like two custom guitar cables plus a nice evening out with just the moms and dads. No kids. Other than that, we're just chilling.

Strat Jr. wants an aircraft carrier toy. He'll get a couple of things but less than the last couple of years.

EdgarHF · November 17th, 2009, 10:32 PM

I'd like to wake up that morning.

bingy · November 17th, 2009, 10:41 PM

A custom Warmoth brown tortoise pick guard...for a three pickup noiseless Tele... Strat in the middle Full sized Humbucker at the neck.
Really... I have everything but the pick guard.
Please, Santa?
