If you only had a couple hundred bucks to spend.....
#1
What would you buy?


Here's some more explanation of the options:

1) New neck for the '62RI: The original neck is great. I love it. But the frets are so goddamn small, and the fretboard radius is annoyingly 7.25", and I'm actually most comfortable on a 10" or 12" radius. I don't mind 9.5". 7.25" is downright annoying. Every time I go to do a sweet bend, the notes fret out. So I wanna get a new neck. All maple, 9.5" or 10" or 12" radius, with bigger goddamn frets. Why all maple as opposed to the maple/rosewood combo that's on there right now? Cuz I want more snap, articulation and punch.

2) Reverb pedal: My pedalboard lacks reverb. One of my two amps lacks reverb. I figure if I get a reverb pedal, then my next step is getting a lightweight, portable, powered grab-n-go pedalboard with only like 3 or 4 pedals on it, so that I can have awesome control over my sound without having to lug around a heavy briefcase full of pedals.

3) Practice amp: I thought I'd really love taking my H&K head and the little 1x10" marshall cab to jam sessions, and I kinda do, because it sounds great, but I also kinda don't because if I have a guitar on my back, and a cab in one arm, amp in the other, that makes travelling by subway/bus whatever a royal pain in the ass (but a necessary one since I sold my car). A small practice amp would solve this. Would have to be lightweight again, that way just guitar and amp to carry. donezo.

4) ????

How about a little bugera v5 practice amp. All tube and sounds pretty good. I have one and like it.
Trust me, I'm a medical professional.

nah, I'd probably just get something solid state like a Fender mustang or a Roland Cube or something... basic but good sounding.

tubes -> transformers + extra chassis space -> extra weight


there's actually a Tech21 Trademark 10 available locally that I've had my eye on. $150.
Haven't found enough reviews about it though and I'm not totally sold on the few vids I've seen of it.

Amp. That's where I'd put my $$$.

naw, I worked my ass off to have some cash to spend frivolously.

I spent the bulk of it on those custom pickups from Deacci. Now I have a couple hundred left.

Are those pickups really like two hundred a piece?
