Peavey Wolfgang has been my biggest suprise. After gettine over how rerrible they look I finally decided to give one a whirl. Sounds great and feels nice but I've discovered after a couple of jams the edge of the body is kind of uncomfortable for me, digs into my forearm. maybe I'm a wuss but the ol' SG doesn't do this. My year of sitting down and fooling about by myself was very enjoyable though....
Looking at a trade for a tubemeister head now...sever contemplation going on, so I'd best go see this NAMM thread Hamo is talking about.

Re: Surprise GAS.
I've been a member for a while, but never posted. My big surpise was a tele. I'd never liked the shape, and not fan of the tone particularly. Only ever had rosewood necks. Then I stumbled on a too-good-to-refuse price on an 89 MIA tele with one-piece maple neck auction closing at 6am on a Saturday morning. Bought it and it's the only guitar I haven't ending up hating within the year or so. That was years ago, and up till this week, I haven't seriously looked at another elec. Pedals on the other hand...
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Surprise GAS.
Surprised GAS for me has been the Washburn N1 I picked up this week. Super playable, light and sounds pretty good both on it's own and with a band. I wasn't expecting much from a relatively cheap guitar, but it has quite impressed me.
