I want these. :love:

 

I may want others, too, but I'd have to see pics. :D

 

I already have as much stuff as you, sadly, and I have more coming and/or am planning for more. :freak:

I've got big charges on my MasterCard, and at least 2 revolving "no interest" store cards with sizable balances.


I've tried the 12 step program, but that only ends me up with twelve new pieces of gear.


Should I try hookers?

45 is a lot. You'd be suprised at what you woulden't miss if you sold some.

 

Otherwise, the best advice I can give you is: STAY OFF OF THE INTERNET!

 

At least don't look at guitars on it.

Decide whether you are a collector or a player.

Which do you want to be remembered for?

Anybody can collect. Yes, it's possible for some to do both. But I can't. Not enough time in the day.

I wasted enough time and money searching for - I don't know what - a perfect guitar maybe? - when I had the few that I needed all along.

I got rid of ones that hadn't been out of the case in awhile. I have a lot more room in my studio now. I don't miss them at all. In fact, I feel better. Lighter.

And I don't waste my time lusting over gear that won't do a thing to improve my playing.

Since I've narrowed it down to 2 main ones I've become very familiar with them. They're starting to get worn spots from my playing them so much. My worn spots.

You wouldn't want the Squier Tele CustomII? That's an AWESOME {censored}ing guitar. Just bought one last week barely used for $100. best hunerd clams I ever spent!:thu: Bought it to modify, but since I've been playing it, I'm a-gonna leave it the way that it is!

Yeah but he has so many other sweet guitars and higher end fenders that it just doesnt seem practical to keep one.

True.

 

Even if I was to suddenly become rich I doubt that I would collect very many guitars anymore.

As I get a little older (and hopefully a little wiser) I'm trying to lighten my load. I really don't need a lot to be happy. Material things ain't shiat. Temporary happiness at the most.

So iow, I won't be spending 9K for a set of old 50's Gibson PAF pickups anytime soon. :freak:

Here's what I would Keep. I don't know much about some of these and haven't played most of them but just for fun....

 

FENDER CUSTOM TELECASTER SPECIAL

FENDER 50TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE STRATOCASTER

GIBSON 335-DOT

GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO

JACKSON DK2S

MARTIN 00028EC

TAKAMINE JASMINE 12-STRING

 

These cover a ton of ground. They are all very different from each other. They are all you'll ever need. Rotating 7 guitars still gives you plenty of variety. Then with the money you have from selling the others you can get something really nice.....:evil:

That's almost no help Chris, you've only got one more guitar than I do! And if I throw in the banjo, mando, and uke, I'm a couple ahead!

unload those korean guitars.

 

then commit yourself to setting up and maintaining all of them

 

at around 14 guitars, I decided my roadstar probably won't intonate very well without an expensive fret job, plus it doesn't sound as good as my RG's.

 

I should sell it.

 

etc.

The cure for me is playing. Right now I'm gigging with 2 different bands, and lately it's been 2 or 3 gigs each week. I don't have time to research and buy gear, 'cause I'm busy working on songs with the band...

 

I have noticed, that when I'm down to one band, and it's only playing maybe once/month, I get GASSY again...
