Buy a memory or two. Treat your girl and yourself to an early October Iceland trip and see them northern lights and other cool stuff


'October will cost roughly $1,500 to $2,500 per person. This includes off-peak flights, a mid-range hotel, daily excursions, and dining out. October is the start of the winter season, offering a mix of dramatic weather and excellent Northern Lights viewing'
 
First thing I'd do is stock up more than you normally would on strings, picks, tubes, maintenance items, etc. I'd rather play strings that have been on the shelf for a long time rather than having none. Guitars are just wall art and amps are just furniture if you run out of those items. Then I'd decide on other uses for that money after you're stocked up. Some string companies use sealed packaging or treated paper envelopes. I know a thing or ten about strings, and yes, those types of packaging do extend string life. As long as your strings don't corrode in the packaging, you're good to go. Trust the old boomer on this. I have some Everly strings than I got over 20 years ago, and for shits a giggles I put a set of those on one of my guitars recently and they sound and play great.

I have no idea whether prices on these things will go through the roof, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. And if pricing on that stuff doesn't go crazy high, you're still stocked up.

Note to the wiseasses, I didn't say he should spend all of his money on those items. LOL

And yeah, get yourself a guitar that you really bond with. There are a lot of great deals to be found. It's a buyers market for a lot of gear right now. I bought a player grade '87 Kramer with an OG Floyd for $350 and it slays There are a lot of great deals to be found. It's a buyers market for a lot of gear right now.

Yamahas and USA Peaveys are killer guitars and a lot of those fly under the radar. I snagged this Yamaha for $549 shipped to my door and it's a Ferrari.

The C+ HRG RI is a fucking killing machine and you’d be a fool to not follow your instincts on this.
I've been thinking about what version to get, a DRG or a HRG? There are more DRG's available where I'm from. The hrg seems hard to find. Anyways on one hand you got that bouncy elastic feel of the DRG and on the other hand you got more headroom with the HRG but a more stiff sound. I'll never need the full range of the master volume so I'm leaning DRG.

A Wizard, uh no. Not my thing really. They make great amps for sure, but none that I want to aquire. The Hellrazor is the only one I'd keep if I was given one.

Jeremy had both and he much preferred the HRG, perhaps he’ll chime in.
Word on the street is that the HRG is much more ferocious ,with a bigger footprint, and just all around better sounding.

I had a C++ SG and a 2016 Wizard MTL100 at the same time, and the way I had them dialed it they actually sounded very similar and covered the same ground, the MTL sounding bigger of course.
I eventually ended up selling the MTL because I just preferred the core tone of the C+.
As much as I loved the MTL I was always turning knobs, struggling to get the highs where I wanted them. Still an amazing monster of an amp that I wouldn’t mind owning again.
