I’ve still got 2 to sell but when they’ve gone I can’t see me buying anything new for a long time. Same with amps - I’m down to one great amp and a good pedalboard and I’ve got everything I need when I decide to start gigging again
I got a £600 bonus in April (that's £600 left after bills & MrsLostSon commandeered enough for a holiday etc). So I HAVE cash, but no real need/desire for another guitar! In the past I've scrimped & saved to get my next purchase, but now Im not feeling the GAS urge.
I'm tempted by a Strat or LP Jr but haven't seen one I want.
I blew my entire life savings on a second hand Ovation Baladeer which was in dire need of a refret , It was the guitar Cat Stevens , Paul Simon and Ritchie Sambora were playing at the time and it made me feel like a proper guitarist .
I still have it today , it's still the guitar I judge all other acoustics on , and it just seems to sound better as it gets older ( unlike me )
Nothing else has has ever stuck for very long but I am now building guitars and trying to work towards something perfect!
I love playing all my guitars, but also enjoy the research part and the “chase” of finding a new one. So inevitably there is some turnover as space and funds are limited.
It's a horrible quandary to be in for somebody who likes buying stuff.
Theres not much that cannot be done on a bog standard P-Bass or a Strat /Les Paul.
( apologies for the double negative's )
longest owned: es330 @ 7yrs

But, mostly, I've always just been happy with what I have. I've never been prone to GAS for either guitars or amps. I have one amp (and a THR) and I've had that one amp since I was a teenager.
I have stupid amounts of sheet music and instructional material, though. Which is where the magical thinking lies. If I just buy/read this book, or practice this thing, I'll be the guitar player of my dreams.
* Admittedly, I'd quite like to get rid of one of those, and get something else.
** although if/when that happens, all bets are off, and I'll be buying the guitar of my dreams.
If i came off facebook and here i err I don’t think I’d ever change guitars.
What im saying is it’s your fault.
There’s a lot of great guitars out there and moving them on so someone else can enjoy them makes sense.
I have 6 guitars at the moment and I view that as six rotational slots for the inventory. I don’t even need that really. 4 will do it, every time I get the itch I can just sell one and then procure something else. If I need something different I probably won’t need it immediately so I don’t need to stock something just in case

That's a lovely Strat collection Mr Pot.
