Here's the usual buying progression:
15 to 20 years old: Buy the gear your favorite guitar god plays
20 to 30: Buy, sell, buy , sell, buy, sell.... after a while you actually hone in on exactly what feels right and sounds right to you.
30 to 40: Buy, buy, buy, buy.....and hope you don't have to firesale your collection to pay for your divorce or the kid's braces..... but of course something's going to happen.....
40 to 50: You have some real nice gear, but you spend a fortune on pickups and parts trying to get that perfect sound you've heard in your head.... and that sound is just the next PU swap away...
50+: you realize you should have found a real good teacher 30 years ago. Then you'd sound great on most any guitar you played on. You suggest this to your kid and he or she rolls his or her eyes and gives you the yeah, sure, look as yet another 100 watt half stack leaves Guitar Center.
