Hi guys, I was wondering what you all feel was the best gear acquisition that you made during 2011. Mine was the Line6 M5 by far. Swiss army knife that replaced 3 pedals immediately.

domhatch wrote my best purchase is either my tokai ls95s or my tokai sg88. hard to tell, as i haven't really had the time to play the sg88 for long enough to make a real comparison. have a feeling the sg may come out on top...

The only piece of gear I bought in a full calendar year was - Roland Cube 30x, but I suck at electric guitar and feel like selling it!

Hey Squonk...
You KNOW you're talking crap right?!
We have ALL heard you play! and you play a MEAN guitar!!!
Dont try to brush off your skills!
Hell, i wish i could play as well as you! in time yes, but even now i admire your skill!!!
So dont even think what you are thinking, its just a bunch if lies you're telling yourself!!!! >☹

Bought a tonelab st off of Mr. T.
I'm really digging the range of effects and amps it can model.
Definately the best piece of kit i bought this year as its now always on, i cant remeber what my amp sounds like without it. 8)

Jazz 3 pick ?

Dr neon strings.. Love the feel and tone

domhatch

those jim dunlop-types? long been among my faves. was a fan of the stubbies for a bit, but once i got me fingers on them things, it was those or the fender teardrop 'heavies' - kind of elongated teardrop shaped, tortoiseshell coloured things, probably somewhere between .80 and .90mm. perfect for strummin and pickin.

Styles

PRS 10 top Singlecut Trem in Natural. Been around the block,

but damn she play so gooood! 8)

6x9base13 wrote Ashton Audio Fuzzilla ! No. 8 I think !

This was my dumbest move this year. ☹ If you ever decide to sell, you know who to contact...

Its a hard choice to say what was the BEST purchase but I would have to say my Ibanez AS83 with my Fender Supersonic in a very close second...

guidothepimmp

Hen, those are a stark contrast to the fiddle in your avatar ?

after ages of trying to get a tele'ish tone from my tele partcaster or usa strat i finally went out and bought a fender usa tele this year .......and got instant tone (well the tone i was seeking) with no fiddling

another great buy was my old 60's point to point tube amp that jp modded onto a fender princeton circuit

both tele and tube amp are gigging and getting the tone i love best buys of the year for me

My Mesa Boogie Express 5:50 combo.... ?
next year the quest is on for a PRS Custom 24 with bird inlays (going to have to sell some of my other gear for this one,,,,,,) ?

The Cusack Pedalboard Tamer has been a fantastic purchase.

But I think the Timeline might just usurp the PBT when it FINALLY arrives.

one should never overlook the absolute bare accessories. sorry. necessities. is that the 8v or the 16v? i had a csi, with the old 1800 8v engine, yissie. i was a big fan of that engine...it was the mk1 i think. man oh man. body was up to s#^t, but the engine was the bomb. by which i mean when it ran it was magic, but every so often it would stop and blow up.

8-Valve 2.0 Liter with that SA made injection system. It's a bit pap for a 2 litre but still a good car.
I get my Deluxe Reverb, Mixing rack, Gig box, 2 Strats, a Tele, all mic and speaker stands and odds and ends into the boot, 2 JBL Eons on the back seat and I'm good to gig.. ?

FRALIN-FAN

I only started playing in 2011. So I bought every bit of guitar gear I own in 2011!

Michael Kelly Accoustic
Albion TCT 35
AMP Maker British Overdrive 5w Amp Head Unit which I put together from kit.
First Electric was an ESP EC1000 and I fitted Fralin PURE PAF PU's to it. I have since sold that guitar as the Strat is just SO awesome in the clean range.
Fender Strat USA with Jumbo Frets- bought from DomHatch - SWEET
VOX SC 55 in black is my FAV at the moment. It seems a bit more difficult to play than the Strat, but I think it could be due to the longer scale length or perhaps the Jumbo frets (on the Strat) ? HOwever, the range of tones with those split PU's are really great!

Boss RC3 Looper
Blues Driver - HOfner

My BEst Piece of kit though is the Justinguitar DVD Set I bought.. ?
The Practical music book he put together is the bees knees and really made all those lessons I had as a kid clear as daylight. (I managed up to Unisa grade 4 on the piano in 1984 at school...) NOw I finally understand chord construction etc etc etc.

I love the journey of learning the guitar. NOw I need a practice partner or a real teacher !
