What luthiery gift would you like Santa to leave under the CHRISTMAS tree this year? Say, under $200 or so?

For me, a set of really nice chisels would be fine. And maybe a Dallas cheerleader, though that's a little hard to justify as a luthiery item.

Always more clamps! But, not a tool but rather an expensive part. I've been designing/working on an acoustic pick up system that has individual "string" volume controls (years) but frankly it will never match the Shadow SH-4020 -- if not gifted to me, at some point I will be purchasing this system in the near future. --- They are awesome!!!

That's quite a line-up of pickups. I think I'd go for the humbucker.
