Members Deadbeat Son Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'm thinking of quitting a just-short-of-6-figure job that I hate to go back to school. It will be tough to make ends meet if I do, but my wife also doesn't want me to sell any of my guitars or gear if I do.Here's to good wives!

Members metalheadUK Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 My wife wants me to stop bringing home cheap hookers and having Coke snorting competitions with local down and outs in our hallway.I do love her, so I've stopped the Coke (the down and outs are back on the cheap cider, though I still have 'em round) and I occasionally treat myself to a high class hooker!Job's a goodun!EDIT: Jan just told me the down and outs are just relatives visiting....I wondered who the {censored} they were!

Members BG76 Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 My wife collects Barbie dolls. If you think paying $100.00 for an old cap or knob is insane you should see what a tiny pair of plastic shoes costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesway Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 She said, "you'll kick yourself in the ass years from now".

Members Edward Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 My wife collects Barbie dolls. If you think paying $100.00 for an old cap or knob is insane you should see what a tiny pair of plastic shoes costs.Me, I'd rather have shoes big enough to wear... Guitars, meh. My Fenders are special, any of the rest of them would be gone in an instant if I was offered enough. They all have their price.... even the Fender might if I really needed the money. I'd sacrifice a guitar before I would lose my cats, who are my only dependants. That said, while I have some nice stuff and a couple that are collectable, I'm not into actual vintage stuff. Even then, though, I've learned from the collectable stuff I do have that unless I bond with it as a player and like it for its own sake, it can be rare as rocking horse doo doo (especially bearing in mind I'm a lefty...), and really I won't be bothered by never having the option again. Nonetheless, I'm sure I have stuff with which I would not part willingly, be it my Tele or other stuff, so I certainly can understand the value of having a partner that supports that interest. A girl I was involved with, even briefly engaged to, some years back once suggested we sell my guitars (plural), and her one guitar, and "buy one really good one to share." I had to point out that that wouldn't work on the simple level of me being a lefty, and her being right handed..... nice that she paid me that sort of attention, you know?

Members Brian Krashpad Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 That's cool Lou. A little ways back some big bill or other was looming, and I said "I can always sell my Les Paul for more than I paid for it." Mrs. K's response: "You can't sell that guitar, you love it!" The woman, bless her, knows me. Which is not to say I wouldn't sell gear if need be. You can't eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelSaulnier Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 You can, but you have to soak 'em in the lake for a long time, then slather them with bacon fat... Chewy, but the FIBER is to die for. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Bbreaker (I don't feel I know you well enough to call you Lou...); are you sure she wants you to keep them because you love them? Perhaps she feels that keeping your wealth tied up in tangible assets will assure her a more equitable split when she files for divorce. It's much easier to inventory and value guitars than liquid assets that can be split up and hidden under a variety of pseudonyms, etc. I think your wife is very canny.... Just kidding!!!!

Members headstash Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 Keep the wife, but sell if you have to/need to. Guitars are just things and if liquidating a few helps ease the current financial downturn, I say do it. IMHO collecting guitars when times are good is just about the best thing I can think of doing with discretionary dollars. But not selling a few when things hit a rough spot makes a collector into a hoarder. At the end of the day, its just stuff (albeit really fun stuff).
