Yor last gas cost me £1100. You were looking at an SG I think. Anyway you introduced me to Richtone music, I walked in and I was doomed. One LP studio pro and blackstar id core 10 later I walked out 1100 lighter.

It is an SG this time, except a Gibson Std for the price of the Edwards

I keep looking at the Gibson LP Studio in vintage sunburst, and just thank God I don't have any money. None of the Epiphones seem to have the finishes I want. If I want another guitar, I'll have to save up and wait a long time.

 

So, I just flip through Sweetwater's website like porn. I have GAS like crazy, but nothing to satisfy it.

I cant recommend the 2014 LP studio pro highly enough. Beg, steal, borrow, sell a kidney, get one.

Those look so cool. The Black Pearl Cherry is my favorite finish on that one, but it'd take me over a year to save up. I tried doing that once, but failed miserably. It's not unreasonable for me to wait until I get a real job after I finish all my schooling and interning... I'll be 28. eekphil

I'm trying, need to do some more step work I think, maybe speak to my sponsor

 

No worries then, I didn't realize that you were a "sponsored" artist.;)

 

My GAS is all about the sleeper gear these days - seeing what I can steal for $200. Craig's List is just pages and pages of overpriced garbage but then you run across that diamond in the ruff that makes the rummaging all worth while. I feel like it's my divine destiny to find these bargains before somebody else.does. The only problem is that I'm a mere hobbyist, and my trophy guitars are just collecting dust while I indulge my itching guitar fetish. Doh, find me a stepping stone and a sponsor.

At this point I'm actually thinking of getting rid of some Guitars Insane yes but 40 is just to many to play. My 77 Rd Artist has been sitting in the case for years as have my 76 Jazz bass and I finally got a 84 Fender Flame so my Squire Esprit is questionable. Be side I've already own or have owned most guitars I've ever desired ( no I don't have a 50's burst or Gold top) but they are out of my range $$$$.

Yeah. Put money in a mason jar. A few extra bucks here, a guitar lesson there, money from the Changestar... Then I'll hit $300 or so, and decide I want something more. Last time, I bought my girlfriend a sewing machine for her birthday.

Oddly enough, I am a shadow of my old former addicted self. Don't get me wrong, I am an addict......once an addict..... BUT I now crave the guitars that are of the cheap. 20 years ago, when I became a serious guitar student....if it didn't say "made in the USA" on it.....I didn't want it near me. 10 years later......I may let some MIJ slip through the cracks...... but that was it. Now.....I'm like the war monger money backer in contact with every sweat shop this side of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Hong Kong, Foshan, Zhuhai, and Macau trying to find a $60 guitar that plays like a 1960 Fender strat......and when I do.....I plan on buying 30 of them. I need to take my meds now.

We have the term' date=' it was the concept of " saving up" in relation to gas that threw me. GAS is now now now! Plastic was invented by someone with GAS.[/quote']

 

Being broke and being a guitar player is like being a horny teenager without hands.
