One of the slew of guitar orientated BookFayce groups I belong to had a post a few minutes ago where one of my fellow members confessed to stress-buying a guitar pedal.
Fulltone is a company that manufactures pedals. I own three of them. Well… more like two and a half. Two different versions of one pedal, and then a second pedal. Whatever. Suffice to say they make good stuff and I am a happy repeat customer. I am also on their email list. I got an email from them a few minutes ago. I read some updates on things they are working on and I think I literally salivated a little.
Unlike my fellow BookFayce sufferer, I have managed to stop myself from stress-buying… anything. Not just guitar gear, but anything. The only thing I’ve spent money on since the quarantini kicked off is food and one tank of gas in the Kia. That’s it.
My thinking is simple. If we don’t spend any money during the quarantininess, I should be able to afford a new Les Paul once it’s all over. If it lasts another month or so I’ll be able to afford one of those sweet 2019 Les Paul Standards (with the gold finish because I’ve always wanted a gold top). If it lasts through the Spring, like many people believe it will, I’ll be able to afford a nice late 60’s Les Paul Custom, in black, of course. If it lasts into next year… well… with that much money saved we can start looking at something from the late ’50’s. Probably not a Burst (capital B) but maybe a ’56 or a ’57? Maybe a ’59 junior? Sky’s the limit, kids!
