Members Brainfertilizer Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 So I was rotating out my "on display" guitars. I have 8 of the 30+ out at all times, the ones I'm interested in playing on lately.And I spied the beat-up, cheap thin cardboard case that my Vantage VP-700 is in. I thought it might be fun to play it a little, so after meedling around on my other WE7400 Corsair, I opened up the case. It wasn't the Vantage VP-700. It was a Westone. It was a Westone Pantera. It was a Westone Pantera I had completely forgotten I had ever bought. Of course, seeing it brought back the memory of the purchase. Sort of. I can't remember how much I paid. But if 3 hours ago you had asked me if I had a Pantera, I would have said, "Nope." You don't own an X300? "No way." You don't own a white Pantera w/ cheesy blue flames, missing nut locks, missing trem arm clamp, a non-original EMG pickup, and a little bit of an electric short problem? "Hmm..." Well, I guess I do. The EMG actually sounds pretty good...although it turns it into a metal machine rather than the total rock machine that it should be. But the single coils have a bitchin' sound that rocks my world, so I'm all happy now. Maybe someday I'll get around to posting pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MyNameIsMok... Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 So this is what it feels like to live in a harem. "didn't know I married a chain smoking blonde...but sure enough, one day I was looking for an old shirt in one of the upstairs bedrooms, and there she was....I guess I did, after all. Pics to come."

Members Flatspotter Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 That's a sure sign that you have too many guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arrowhen Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 As much as I'd love to discover a guitar one day that I forgot I owned, realistically it would probably just mean I had Alzheimer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brainfertilizer Posted February 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 It was a cool discovery. It was a what-the-heck guitar I got for just over $100...I checked to make sure it worked and then put it in its case behind the stack. It was the 3rd guitar I had received within a 10-day span, and the other 2 were eagerly anticipated, unlike this one. So "discovering" it last night resulted in me playing it with a completely fresh attitude, and I found I liked it a lot more than I did in that brief sound check back in October. It isn't senility...more like when you walk into a room and forgot why you were there, or losing your place in a conversation when you see an attractive individual walk by...

Well, I forget why I entered a room even when I'm alone. I also tag my guitar cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashtray Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I've done that before - but what's worse is the opposite: "hey, let me take out that cool Strat I rarely play" - 30 minutes later after opening every case in every room, you come to the conclusion that you must have sold it - but don't really recall when or for how much.

Members fretmonster Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's a bitch gettin old.

My wife gets upset when I tell her........when we're 80 years old and I turn to you and you say,"who are you?" It could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 If you get tired of that Pantera let me know. There's a guy on my local CL looking for one. I sometimes look at my Photobucket account and see guitars that I don't remember owning. I just go through so many that I just can't remember them all anymore.
