I usually am very excited to get new gear. I really do my research before purchasing something. I am not sure there have been many pieces of it that I can say blew me away. I like to spend time with things to really get to know them. Once I have spent some time with things I then really get impressed with things. Here are some items that I came to really be impressed with rather quickly.
Keeley Super AT Mod, I actually bought a second one of these because I liked it so much.
Suhr custom carve, one piece quilt, top Standard. This guitar has been a regular in my rotation since I received it in late 2015.
Friedman Twin Sister amp. I really love the tones this amp creates. It is one of the best amps I have ever played through.
Honorable mention goes to my custom color McCarty 594 double cut. It has also been in regular rotation since I received it in January 2017. It didn't start exceeding my expectations until I swapped the 58/15 LT pickups for a new set of 57/08s. These are hotter than my other 57/08s and they really made this guitar come to life.
I have other gear that I bought that turned out to be exactly what I expected it to be. The ones above are items that went above my expectations when I purchased them.
