This is a toughie to answer. I guess technically I'd have to say my 08' Gibson Gold Top Standard because I won't get my Ceriatone until Christmas morning.

2010 Gibson Les Paul Traditional - Ebony
I love it...

also swapped a pitchshifter type Boss pedal for a Boss Tremelo..
try not to use many pedals but I love this one...

great for appreciating "chords" and not trying to hard to fill space etc.. in more mellow stuff..!

Re: Favorite piece of gear you bought in 2010?

I have two. 
On the cheap: 1990 Sovtek Mig 50 head.  It sounds epic. Price. $300 dollars.
More than my first car: 1953 Fender Telecaster Butterscotch blonde   Just like Danny's. It feels the same as his guitar and howls. It is a very dear piece of gear to me. I saved a lot of lawn mowing and allowance money for it.

Re: Favorite piece of gear you bought in 2010?

I guess, I forgot the most important acquisition - initially thought it happened last year - adding to my post above...

... and the winner is... Joe Bonamassa Aged GT #213....  cool

Frankly, not because it's a JB forum, it's a killer guitar - I have a few, and played a few, but... yesterday evening, I played it again and it feels like... it feels like an old friend - very comfortable, trusty, reliable and relaxed... Like I've known it for years and continuing on the conversation...

Great feeling!

Thank you Joe and Gibson... never thought I'd have such feelings from a guitar...  smile

Re: Favorite piece of gear you bought in 2010?

I'm proud of the fact that I took $100 from my gear fund and used it for a couple lessons with a Berklee grad - I figured I need that more than any gear.  I did get a lot out of it and he gave me a lot of ideas and things to work on.

2010 was pretty much gearless for me.  Lots of stuff I wanted but I didn't end up buying much of anything.  I am getting a Carl Martin compressor for Xmas.  Looking forward to that.

Zeyer, I think this is going to be my 2011 I really want to focus less on gear and more on learning and playing better, the last two years I have got more gear and my playing has got better but I really want to take the next step. So I am going to "Try" this approach, I know its going to be hard, I LOVE searching for gear. I think I like looking at it more than buying it, maybe I need to be someones personal gear shopper! HA

Re: Favorite piece of gear you bought in 2010?

How weird would that be to have Joe mow your lawn?   lol

Joe,

Tell you what, you bring the mower over, I'll cut the grass while you sit in the shade sipping lemonade and play my guitar, AND I'll pay you.  Sound fair?

The only new gear I got was two new knees.  Well worth the hassle.
