My wife's family has all sorts of strange holiday traditions, including the "airing of the greivances", which is practiced at every holiday and Sunday chicken dinner.
BTW: I see you have a new axe...details?
I do indeed. It's a Dean EVO FT: HH, a 3 way switch (NTTAWWT), coil tap. It's a great guitar; when on single coil, the neck pickup sounds like a Tele, and in humbucker mode is very warm. Got it for a great price, second hand, but never used (good seller). Maple top, sort of an orange tiger-stripey (called "Flame Maple"). Good bookmatching, nice finish. It makes it good match to my other Dean, the acoustic, which I'm really pleased with now that I have a set of strings on it I like (Elixir coated 12s). It's really bright, sounds great through and amp too. The new electric is the first electric I've had in about 7 years (previously had an archtop), and my first solid body in 10 years, so I'm having a lot of fun with it. The best thing is I play every night now, it's pretty much a ritual of spending an hour with the guitars. I decided since I bought the Beatles box set that I'd reacquaint myself with playing their music, starting with Revolver.
How's the PRS working out? Playing much? I was looking at SE's but they were a bit more than I wanted to spend, though I did
seriously covet the SE Semi Hollow. I would, however, highly recommend Dean to anyone looking, at least to try them out at the store. They market mainly to the heavy metal crowd, so their line is a bit odd looking, but they make some sweet traditional looking and sounding guitars as well for us oldsters.
