Picked up the Logan Tele cause I've always wanted one with the specs it has (I've only used the neck pickup once on a guitar) and it was a great price too. Severely unknown/underrated guitars.
Then I really wanted the Godin bass. I haven't played bass really except for when making demos, but this thing is fantastic. I had a choice to buy the fretless version, but it honestly wouldn't make sense too much for the music I play.
I'm really hoping to be done unless I sell my offsets to get one nice guitar.

I was today years old when I found out Godin makes basses like that, not just guitars.
 
Congrats, those are a couple of killer guitars.

I'm about to buy a Godin A6 Ultra guitar. I have a Godin A5 before they went SA and Ultra (adding synth access and the magnetic pup) that I bought about 15 years ago. That'll be it for me in 2025.

We're a bit of like minds as I was deciding between the A6 Ultra and a Tele and was about to buy a Vintera 50s Tele Modified before the ideal Godin was listed yesterday. I'd buy both if I could, but the boss ain't having that.
 
I was sooo close to getting the older Godin bass, it seems to be the one a lot of bass players prefer. It was a tough decision as the bass would have come with a fretless and fretted neck.
 
I want the old style A/E only fretless A4, but people are confused about what they're worth. They want more for them than the new ones which are more advanced and feature packed instrument. The A5 has a good sound acoustically, great to practice with unplugged...I assume the A4 is similar in that regard.
 
Nice choices! HNG&BD

I have no plans to get more gear this year. Working on my skills, and the guitars I have are already more than adequate for that. :)

I never like the way it sounds, plus I'd tend to knock the switch into a different position when I would try it. I just play rhythm, maybe it comes from playing bass for 30 + years and only trying to get one versatile sound.

I am also amazed by this. Once in your whole life? What kind of guitar was it?
 
Picked up an Eastman and picking up the '97 PRS McCarty w/ trem this weekend. In fairness, I did sell a bunch of stuff in order to get the PRS.
