What Have You Narrowly Avoided Buying Guitar-Related In The Past 48 Hours?

Brent Hutto, why has my purchase of two guitar cases angered you?

A third Bogner Ecstasy Blue Overdrive Pedal

Brent Hutto, why has my purchase of two guitar cases angered you?

Because that stupid Fender case just showed back up on Amazon and then you bought two cases and now I feel like I'm two behind and maybe I haven't avoided anything.

I'm so mad I could hit myself. Or maybe buy a case I don't need, that would show me, wouldn't it.

There’s a cute Gretsch 5120 that keeps giving me the eye…

Line 6 HX Stomp used in a local website for sale at a good price.
It would work as a good preamp for my dual source acoustics but there's too much going on at home at the moment to go down the editing rabbit hole.

A Bullet HT strat, red one no longer made, super cheap.

It was for local pickup only in a city my friend goes to every week. I didn't tell him until after I met with him, maybe could have gotten it earlier, but it sold.

I played a white one in a shop once and I really like those pickups. I don't have a strat that actually sounds good.

But that was a close one, I'm glad I missed out on it because I don't need another guitar.

Guitar Center sells Squier Bullet Stratocaster HT for around US$250 normally but occasionally run it on sale for under US$200.

I played a red one in the local GC store a year ago and *almost* bought it as my first electric guitar. I went with a Schecter instead but wish I'd gone with the Bullet. Pickups seemed pretty decent to me.

I love me some hardtail Strat. Body shape is kickin' but I don't see the appeal of whammy bars and all that.

There's a red Ibanez that's similar except for the output jack and you can put the pickups in series, but it's not as cheap.

Yes I have the yellow AZES31 as my travel guitar. Being an Ibanez, the fit and finish is a little better than that Squier was. I think either of them would’ve worked fine for inexpensive travel guitar purpose but I picked up the Ibanez up for $255 with a coupon code of some sort which seem like a pretty good value for the money.

I don't think it was within 48 hours, but I had a G&L guitar in my cart for a recent MF Stupid Deal, but then reminded myself that if I buy it, then the personal achievement reward ES-339 I am buying in June will have to say Epiphone in it instead of Gibson. I think I dodged a BB...

Narrowly avoided? Nothing.

I did see this on-line recently, and it made me stop and go "Hmmmmm...".

Saturday I was seriously tempted by a Strymon Flint. I already have a good reverb pedal (boing) and a 6g15 reverb unit that’s bigger than my champ. The Flint demo sounds really good though…..

 

[Brent Hutto]

Every couple days Amazon posts another Used-Like New "Fender Deluxe Molder [sic] Strat/Tele Case" for $187.50 and they are probably going to wear me down pretty soon now. But still NOT buying for now...

The Fender Vintera 50s not only offers an extraordinary finish in shell pink, but also the unmistakable vintage sound of the 50s. The vintage-style single coil on the bridge ensures a sharp lead sound, while the twisted pickup on the neck provides roaring aggression.
