Dear Santa.
As you all ready know, I’ve been a very good little boy this year, just ask my mom, and here is the list of electric guitars that I would like, anyone will be a great reward for all the good things I’ve done so far this year! I know that time is running out but what the heck eh? Better late then never Santa.
- A 1957 Fender Stratocaster. This guitar is a classic! The sound that the single coil pick ups in this little beauty will bring a tear to anyone’s eyes. The neck makes it so comfortable to play that it can make anyone sound, or at least look, great! While flying around the world giving presents to all the good little boys and girls out there, see if you recognize this young lady and see if she may want to part with this one!
- Next is a vintage 1968 Gibson Gold Top Deluxe. The double coil pick ups (P90’s man Mr Kringle, don’t they look unique? I’m trying to make it easy for you to let it apart from other guitars!) on this guitar has a super smooth sound that is so rich and full that it’s probably bad for your heart … if you play or hear it too much that is! Isn’t everything that tastes great bad for you? Don’t worry Santa, I’ve got lots of cardiologist friends at work. Besides, it’s for the long forgotten jazz guitar player in me.
- Now I don’t want to be too much of a Christmas present hog so last but not least (I had to narrow it down a lot here) is the 1959 Gibson Sunburst Les Paul guitar! The sharp sound that comes out of this puppy is legendary! I’ve only held one and never actually strummed it because I was afraid that it would brake. So if you’d be so kind and find it in your heart of hearts to get me this one, then you’d really be helping me overcome my 59′ phobia!
So thank you for reading this e-mail Santa and say hi to Mrs Claus and the other little folks hanging around up there for me! Don’t worry about the dog barking, she will only lick you to death if you don’t pet her at least once!
Sing-cerly Chris
P.S. Keep on Jammin’ Santa!
LOL…now that is a Christmas wish letter! While I have played a Fender Strat, don’t know what year the guitar was, I’ve only held a Les Paul. My son does have a Epiphone Les Paul, though. I play a 1987 Charvel Model 4 and a 1999 Peavey Eddie Van Halen Wolfgang Special. One day, I will own a Gibson Les Paul.
I’m glad you liked it Jeff!
I’ve never played a Charvel before, did you like it? Good luck on getting a Gibson Les Paul. They are a little bit heavy so I hope that your back is strong!!!
Keep on Jammin’ Jeff
haha, if only it were that good a Christmas. The closest I come to that list is maybe a t-shirt with a picture of a guitar on it….:)
That is a very ambitious list indeed, but a nice one at that. Gibson Pauls are like butter – that’s all that I can say. I played on a ’73 the other day and while I was jamming on it I was devising ways to smuggle it out of this guy’s home without him noticing 😉
Well keep on trying there Martin! Maybe Santa is listening!!!
Keep on Jammin’ buddy
You might be able to pull that one off with your buddy guitar speed but the big guy in the red suite has his eyes on you!;)
