And last, but not least, the "to buy" list:

PRS Angelus SE Custom (this is the short term acoustic upgrade which will necessitate the sell of the Maton first), PRS Angelus Custom (this is the long term, after we buy a house, nice acoustic), Matrix GTFX800 SS Amp (for powering axe through Mesa stiletto or other guitar cabs), Port City Amp OS 2x12 wave cabinet (most likely will sell Mesa if I'm going to get this), Godin multiac nylon (with synth pin), Gibson ES (can't decide whether to go all out with an ES-175 or something semi like an ES-137), Roland electronic drums, nicer PA system (most likely JBL, but just a higher power system with subs). That's all I can think of at the moment. The only relatively likely item in the short term is the PRS SE Angelus. The others are all probably years down the road.
