I AM CURRENTLY SAVING MONEY TO BUY A HOUSE! :flex::flex::flex::flex::flex:

I'm not buying ANY guitars right now!!! Not even used, or even necks or bodies!!!!

I have no idea how long I will be in "guitar buying celebate"!

I'm thinking of blocking ebay, Reverb, Tradera, Vend and other pages so I cannot go out an spontaniously look at stuff!

What are your reasons?

 

[MFB]

I've got two guitars, and one bass - I don't buy new guitars because I have all the ones I need for my current needs (one practice, one for my project sound). And, much like a car, I can only use one at a time, and my time is limited - so no time can be wasted deciding which toy I want to play with.

 

[Rocka_Rollas]

I'm glad you've found a way that works well for you!!

After I bought a RG550 I didn't really need or want anything else until I picked up my first seven. (I went 10 years with one electric guitar...)

 

[Rocka_Rollas]

AWESOME!!!!!

 

[Blankplank]

I'm not buying any more because I can't afford £3000 for the one that I want :lol:

 

[Randy]

Stopped buying because I own literally every guitar in existence. Kneel before me.

I have six. The one that *** sold me is amazing. And randy doesn't own my one of a kind *** super mod charvel.

 

[Lozek]

Same position, saving for a house and trimming out everything that's not needed. Two guitars waiting to go out the door with no replacements.

 

[Nick]

I've not bought any today.

 

[Joe]

I haven’t bought a guitar in like 2 months. Does that count?

I haven't bought a guitar in like 2 months. Does that count?

Dude, you feeling alright?

On a couple occasions, but mostly 1) I couldn't afford to, and/or 2) I was happy enough with the current fleet that there wasn't anything else I wanted.

At present, there's one or two I wouldn't mind swapping out for a "nicer" version of the same style of guitar, and one of these days I need to buy a good Tele, but that's about it. No real desire for anything else.

I recently bought a resonator and a Ukulele, and those were the first instruments I'd purchased in probably 6 years. Divorce and Cover Band burnout were the reasons, and I would not recommend either. :lol:

 

[Toshiro]

I haven't bought a guitar in like 8 or 9 years at this point. :lol:

 

[Rocka_Rollas]

That's awesome Toshiro

While I'm having a stop now; I know that I wanna buy / build guitars in the future. And the good thing is I can polish my ideas for future guitars for a year, two or three, so I know EXACTLY what I want + need.

But house is more important right now.

Well, my two big excuses are money...I'm not broke, but haven't been smitten enough by any guitar lately to splurge. Another is that I haven't put in the time to practice as much as I should. My skills have stagnated, so any upgrade in workmanship or quality would be lost on me, at this point.

In the last year I've gotten a divorce, moved out and got set up on my own, and started a new job where I work 50-60 hours a week. I've also been considering just buying a dinky or soloist body to swap out for the partscaster King V that I made a few years back. I just never got along with the shape and hate to see a guitar literally gathering dust.

But yes, I need to get back into shape, playing-wise. I'm back at the dating game and most women are like "oooh, you're a musician?" Well, not exactly. If you want to hear a crappy version of "Master of Puppets"...I'm your man.

But house is more important right now.

Have you considered building one?

 

[Rocka_Rollas]

No I haven't

I bet the realtor can’t wait to see houses compared with MS Paint.
