I have hinted that I want a new winter hat (preferably a plain black stocking cap).

Difficult to answer. Any gift I want, I'll probably have to buy it myself.

It's as good an excuse as any.

I'd like people who don't want to celebrate Christmas to go and be miserable somewhere else, the rest of us like to have a feed and be merry. And it's not a religious festival in my house, it's just a few days when we can kick back and overindulge with a clear conscience.
If you don't like that, fine, just stop banging on about it plskthx |

I want one of my sisters to shut the fuck up when I am around. Last time I saw her I was so close to strangle that bitch. Also I need a bunch of harddisks. And a metart membership.

I'd like a flat tax and the tax discussion to move to "lowering taxes for the non-rich."

Ugh. Last time you and I talked, you mocked my personal beliefs while I was (at least initially) kind towards yours. Who should be strangled? |

Interesting. I'm not sure if I want a full-blown hollow-body though. The 335/339 style can do creamy jazz sounds but they can also rock a bit too. I've fallen in love with the big, fat tone and the "bell-like" sustain (all 335 reviews have to mention that - it's a legal requirement). They're very sensitive to pick attack and that makes them very musical and expressive - see any BB King solo on his Lucille.
Realistically, I expect I'll end up buying an Epiphone - don't laugh they can actually be quite good. I also like the idea of a cheaper instrument to experiment with electronics and winding new pickups. Lipsticks on a 335...? Certainly some coil taps.

If you're going to go with an offshore built guitar, you can get a better guitar for less it just won't say Epiphone on it. Something like a Cort would blow it away.

Xmas came early for me. Managed to swap for another guitar which I'd never bonded with. I got it for the sound but damn don't the 335 look good?
