Have you ever totaled your $$ in gear?

If you are a professional musician I believe it's tax deductible. So adding it all up definitely makes sense.
I might it a point of only owning 3 guitars and that's it. I have sold 1 guitar and two amps so far. I don't keep track but I give myself a personal budget each month, this helps in controlling my spending.

I probably spend about $3000-$4000 on gear combined.

Since I buy $2K guitars these days, I try not to think about that
;)



I'm pretty sure my entire collection of 5 guitars and 1 amp is under that...

if you discount the two that were gifts from my dear departed mother almost under 1K (the Reverend messed up the average purchase price :wave:)

I think I've got you all beat on the low end.

1962 Guild T-100 $50 with original case (Son bought it at moving sale)
Parts to get the Guild working $26
Pawn shop amp $49

Total: $125

Of course the real value of the T-100 is probably around $1500

I've been paring down lately but I still came up with around 7000-7500 - I was on the fence about counting stuff that went to hang out with other people over here and there and never really came back-pretty sure its still mine, pretty sure I'm never seeing it again :thu:- Now that you made me add it up, I feel kind of silly since my band is still in disarray and has been since the end of last year-I think we are going to try to get together on some sundays and work on some acoustic stuff though- I guess I could bring my $175 takamine I bought at a pawn shop :lol:
