Regift it man. Or do the Merry Christmas thing, go hang out in Guitar Center today and wait until some kid walks up with barely enough money to buy their first instrument and gift them the instrument. Give the gift of music ... literally.

What is this "complete pedalboard" you speak of? I'm not familiar with this concept

Buy a beater guitar from the used section and donate it to a children's charity (or faith organization).

I would use it when I need something. I wouldn’t just spend it to spend it.

I’d enjoy not paying for strings for a long time

Strings. Stock up on strings. They're not ever going to be cheaper.

End up buying $1000 worth of gear I don't need..

Scrounging for ideas for small crap at Guitar Center when you have everything already is like a 1 out of 10 on the fun feeling scale.

Getting the next guitar you’re obsessing over for $200 off feels like a deal and feels like a 9 out of 10 on the fun feeling scale to me.

So obviously, hold on to them. Let nature take its course, because you know there will be another axe.

Nope, I refuse to believe you have a complete pedal board. I’m calling BS.

I’d just stock up on strings and picks.

BUY CRAP GUITARISTS HATE BUYING!!!

Strings, cables, strap, picks, patch cables…

Buying a sexy thing like a pedal is fun, but buying shit I hate buying with free money always strikes me as the better deal.
