What have you purchased guitar-related in the last 48 hours?

I ordered the PG Mystery Christmas Stocking this AM. I may put this year’s under the tree instead of opening it on receipt.
 
I bought some Elites Detroit Flatwounds for the jazz today for £30. Hopefully they are as good as the La Bellas i've used previously at half the price. 🙂👍
 
Ordered another DemonFX pedal.

This one is an ISP Decimator II clone. Supposed to use the same technology. It has the LED's inside like the genuine DII uses. I believe it's a pretty good clone. It doesn't appear to cut off the guitar signal at higher settings like cheaper pedals such as the Behringer noise gate do.

Been wanting one for a while. They usually sell for around $70 or 80 and this one is on sale for $35 on AliExpress so I ordered one. It says $79.60 below but it's cheaper than that once you click the link


I just found this on AliExpress:
$79.60 | New High Quantity Demonfx FILTRATION II NOISE REDUCTION Guitar Effect Pedal Noise Gate
 
I knew that Stewmac membership was a bad idea lmao 🤣


Just ordered a nut & saddle vise and a Fret Kisser from them. Both on sale. Still waiting on the Z file and concave fret end file that I ordered last week. They were on sale, also.

Also waiting on the Ernie Ball Paradigm strings I ordered and a few other things. Might get a free pack of NYXL's from D'addario. Their customer service guy offered to let me try a set for free but I don't have a Player Points account so I asked him to send the points to my brother-in-law and he'd order them. We'll see how that goes. Wouldn't mind trying a set out.

I had a Player Point account but it got deleted a while back when they noticed I apparently had more than 1 account. They deleted like 2800 points or something, too. I was pretty aggravated. But the email said not to make another account or they'd take legal action against me! 🤔😕👎 Pretty crappy.

I’m going to have to get one of those fret kissers. It looks like a time saver.

Yep. I have 2 of the Z files now, also. So it ought to be fairly quick. Especially since I don't have to do anything except polish the frets with a buffing wheel on my drill after crowning. It takes out all of the 300 grit scratches left by the Z files and polishes them to a mirror finish.

I had been using micromesh to polish them up before using the buffing wheel and then I decided to see just how much I could buff out with only the wheel one day. So I hit 5 or 6 frets with the Z file and then the buffing wheel and it took out all the scratches and polished them up QUICK. So that's all I do these days. No more micromesh pads unless I'm really feeling like polishing that day lol
 
Just ordered a Boss RE-202 Space Echo while it's on sale for $80 off.

This ought to be fun! 😁

I was actually going for a subtle joke there with a play on the words permanently lubricated nuts. It's my Parental Guidance Advised brain and sense of humor.

Guess they could also have added "We'll Change the Way You Play With Your Nuts".
 
"Subtle joke"? - Oh, come on. I have actually wondered oftentimes why this thing - on the guitar I mean - is referred to as "the nut" in English, but there you go.

Anyway, if you are 65, like me, or older, you have probably given up on playing with your nuts already, as it has turned into a losing game by now, and if you are into parental guidance in this area, you will have to work from memory.

For what it's worth, I am all nuts about my new nut!
