As much as I'd love to keep saving up for my first Les Paul, or maybe my first Martin acoustic..
I can't allow myself to spend any more for musical gear...
Blasphemy, one may think...What could be more important than toanz?
I'm 17 in a few months, and I need to save money for a decent vehicle.
When's the most recent time that a necessity had to come before another guitar.. or amp.. or pedal.. and so on, for you?
Welcome to growing up and thinking responsibly. It's nice to have stuff you want, but that stuff comes after you take care of the more important things, like being able to reliably transport yourself to school or a job, paying the bills, feeding your family, saving for your kids college, etc.
