Slow Children Playing
I built the guitar that I gig with for one of my bands. I got this idea to make a double neck, so i bought one of those squier minis and another junk guitar for parts. I kinda like the mini as is and I really love the chinese squier strat i bought after i changed out all the crap. These pretty much represent the first instrument purchases I've made in about 15 years.
The other day, i went in to the local mom and pop to buy some music stands (support the little guy) and they had a guitar hanging up on consignment that was even smaller than the squier mini. I bought the whammer jammer music stands, so i already had rung up $50 or so before I saw it. since adding the $99 micro mini guitar would put me over the $100 don't ask don't tell limit, I called my wife to ask. She says "How many guitars do you NEED?"
Well, I don't NEED any of them. I'll never be a collector guy who has a half dozen nice vintage museum pieces. I wouldn't buy a guitar unless I could gig with it. Plus, as an amateur mad scientist, I can always find something to screw my peices parts onto.
OK, just venting. I was at samash yesterday and they have a used junk guitar that I am determined to take home. I have an account, so I can just get it and mama won't know. But now I feel like an alcoholic or something because i am hiding it. But, then again, is used equipment always 15% off on sundays?
Hmmmm.....
