Members batotman Posted September 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think I pretty much have all I want. Maybe another amp some day or a Gretsch Elliot Easton but thats about it. I think I've hit a good balance where I can leave a guitar put up for awhile and come back to it as if its a new toy.

Members rlee111 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think you must have the worst case of GAS ever the turnaround on your stuff is ridiculous, no way you have time to play em.I think it should be your goal to narrow your collection down to just 1 and start playing instead of just buying/selling, I bet you can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(probably the time you spend ebaying and posting comments on forums now.)after that, you'll be a richer man; both financialy and musicaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
