I need help spending money!!

tschommer · June 7th, 2004, 09:21 PM

I just got a $50 gift certificate from my boss for Guitar Center as an anniversary gift. Since I got it I have been to GC a few times but nothing jumped off the shelves at me. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I should spend it? I just bought a house so I don't have much extra cash laying around so don't say I should use the gift certificate to pay for the tax on a 52RI. Please keep suggestions between $50 -$75.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Maybe you can get a little pedal or something?
Or clean them out on picks!

Buy a good electronic tuner if you dont already have one.

If you have a guitar laying around, that's been dying for a new pick-up, now might be a good time to make it happen.

Good luck!

I would give two choices: If there has been something that you have really been wanting.....a new pickup, stomp box, tuner, etc., but you have put it off because it was too expensive, ask yourself if you would have bought it if it was $50 cheaper. If so....buy it.

If there was nothing that you have really been wanting....do something else you wouldn't have done with your own money: buy bulk strings and get yourself a big handful of your favorite picks.....at least you will always have them, and you know they will get used.
