Excuses to buy another guitar

[1stpitch]

I don't need excuses anymore, I just need more space.

I have 61 instruments. Last one I bought was in Jan of this year. I have a lap steel, resonater, tenor banjo, 2 basses, 3 mandolins, a Uke, and a 12 string. I had a Squier baritone but I sold it for 4 times what I paid for it..... so I think I need a Reverend Descent baritone and that will be it for next year.
Scuse me while I go change some strings.

That old one is out of tune.

That said my latest gas is for a cheap SG that I can upgrade with parts I put on one I made. I hate the neck on the one I made. Not using those high end parts would just be a waste of money.

I don't have one with birds yet.

I have 61 instruments… Scuse me while I go change some strings.

The dream, and then some of whatever that other thing is called.

Reality? idk

my latest was that i needed a certain type of guitar to take to work. but really, i don't need an excuse. it's just if i really want it and if i can afford it without hurting our budget. i've bought 3 this year.

My mid-grade acoustic needs a re-fret. The cost to do so is about the same as the value of the guitar on the used market. It doesn’t make sense to do it.

I need to buy a $4,000 Taylor acoustic. 5 years down the road if it need a re-fret, its totally worth it! See, I make a solid case for buying that new Taylor that I want.

My wife was shut down. She had no rebuttal. She just walked away shaking her head. That’s my cue. Its buy time. She’s good with it.

Price.

"Its as if they're paying me to get it."

To be honest, the only place I need excuses is myself. Every now and then I try to justify one to my wife and she says "why are you telling me all this. If you want it, buy it." Then I go "well, yeah, but it's a lot of money and..."

Hopeless.

I needed a decent 12-string electric for recording.

I STILL don't have a Telecaster with a rosewood fretboard.

For the win: "It was a really good deal."

For the win: "It was a really good deal."

How can one turn down a really good deal?

It’s simple.

One can not.

That old one is out of tune.

That right there is good enough for me.

We've just bought a weekender, and obviously there needs to be guitars there...

I stopped all dangerous motor sport activities in 1999. My wife has been cool with guitars as a replacement. Less likely to get me killed.

Being divorced, the only excuses I have are ones for NOT buying another guitar. Usually as a result of funds.

 

[Skydog1010]

I have none, excuses that is.

I do have some for sale.

My sanity is important, so I need to be crazy about stuff. Waylon covered this subject in prose many years ago.
