Location: Isle of Man, UK | Have mentioned this in another thread, but this seems like detail time!
My mother has got hold of my christmas present... it's a Gretsch Nashville 6120 Brian Setzer signature model. Sounds nice! Specs and stuff
It's going to count for a birthday present as well (birthday is July but I get the present now...), but I can live with that.
Incidentally, am I the only one slightly distracted when I look at Moddy's picture above? Mabe I need to get out more, but was checking out the guitars on the wall. Darn.

Location: Upper Left USA | First impression: They fell for the "take a picture with the nice guy" line. Probably in their contract.
Second impression: "What are those guitars on the back wall?"
Third thought: Their models look "fuller".
Fourth thought: "Hmmm, NAMM in January, what would I wear..." |

So UPS drops the box off today and its been sitting warming up. It does not look like a guitar box.
While I was talking to Fred on the phone, I was joking around and wrote on the box, "to Lady Noah, with all my love".
Lady Noah comes home, sees the box... and really thinks I got her something "really big". She gave me the hugs and kisses. She wants to wait until Christmas to open it. I told her that it would be best to open it sooner. She said, ok she'll wait until Hanukkah.
I really screwed up. |

I did try that with a table saw once... just didn't have the same impact. |

Location: Omaha, NE | I fell in love a few weeks ago. My new girl is named Lucille:
This whole "going electric" thing is new for me. Its opening up a whole new world of sounds. Absolutely amazing. I found a used Mesa F100 combo amp. The Epi played through the Mesa is just like butter. When I play them its just like sitting in room filled with guitar sex. Hours seem like minutes.
Depending on how things go on eBay, that's going to be my Christmas present to myself. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Omaha, your new Lucille is the Epi version of Gibson's ES-345 that also contains a chicken knob tone control, which also appears on Gibson's ES-137 Custom that is on my list of future guitars to own. The reviews are mixed on the tone control. What does it do and how do you like it? |

It really does allow you to quickly alter the tones you are getting. The overall versatility of this guitar is amazing. I'm interested in playing with the stereo outputs as well: Plug in two cords, and you can play each pickup through a separate amp. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | Life is good and so is Santa. Got a Les Paul Elegant coming and a 2007 Collectors. The problem is that they're coming, as in not already here. I like my gratification instant and continuous...
On another note, the Varitone on the 137 acts like the description in Omaha's post. The thing is (on mine anyway) is that all the non-bypass positions are waaay quieter than the bypass position. That'll keep the sound guy on his toes (or the audience, if the sound guy is AATW).
Now where's that eggnog...
