Just wanted to wish everyone a safe, happy and healthy 2024! I hope the coming year brings you all joy and happiness!

Sorry that my New Year's New Guitar Days (NYNGD) are in limbo. I didn't finish the 2022 NYNGD (four guitars still not shared) and didn't get to 2023 NYNGD (which tallied up to 12 new EBMM for the year). I just don't have the time to photograph and edit all of them. Every holiday season I put a ton of pressure on myself to try to get this done and this December I just decided I wasn't going to worry about it. So... maybe at some point I'll do it.

Anyway, wishing you all a great 2024!

Regards,
Jeff

Wishing you and everyone here a Happy New Year's. Here's hoping to a healthy and safe 2024 for all of you!

As for the pictures, I can imagine 70+ photos is a bit of a chore. Can't wait to see em when you post em!

I gotta ask. Was it you that bought that hardtail black transparent Axis off another forumite sometime last year? I really wanted that guitar. I told the guy if it's ever for sale, please email me. It wasn't for sale, then like a week and a half later it was sold. Oh well. It was a dream guitar and it was a massive bummer. No big deal and if you got it, I'm glad it went to you. I think your collection deserves it more than I do. I would love to see pictures of it again. If you did buy it. :)

Oof. That is indeed a dream guitar.

I sold a trans red Axis hardtail because someone offered me a stupid amount of money for it after Eddie died -- hadn't even listed it, just put a pic of my collection up somewhere. I made a ton of money, but I kind of regret letting it go.

Anyway, happy new year to all! @dibart77 -- if we get pics, awesome! If not, that's good, too! I can't imagine how long it takes you to set up to photograph each axe. Your pics are better than most of the photography I see on Sweetwater and other retailer sites!

Happy New Year!
Don´t put yourself under pressure. We all love your NYNGD posts but also understand you have other things to do!

I remember that one, forget who was selling it, my problem was the PG, hated it, if it had not been contaminated by the PG I would have bought it :)

Keith you're outta your mind. That pickguard is aces. But the hardtail is no bueno. I actually considered buying that and introducing it to my Festool router........... Floyd Rose here we come!

No no no! Pickguard is ok (why you'd cover up that top is beyond me but it's not bad) but hardtail is GOOD. :) NO FLOYDS! :)
