Thanks to an unprecedented gear sell-off and recent birthday-related contributions from generous benefactors, I just got a new guitar:

This is by far the nicest electric guitar I’ve ever owned. It is a “hard rock guitar,” but is only about 30% ironic. (I measured it at 297 millicamaros.) For a “hard rock guitar,” though, the clean tone is quite good. Perhaps more importantly, it is comfortable and plays well. The only modification I might make someday is to install a coiltap so I can get a little closer to a single-coil sound, but I probably won’t do so anytime soon.

My next nonsensical hobby purchase will probably be a new football jersey or some organizational devices so that the accumulation of home-recording equipment does not lead away from domestic tranquility.
