Silly reasons you use to justify buying another guitar.

I can always sell it and get my money back if needed !!!

"Hmmm. I want a new guitar."

Easy.

Although I have decided a new car takes priority over buying a new guitar. This time...

I now find myself wanting another Les Paul so I can have it in different tuning. :-(

But surely this is a valid reason 

A valid case for robo-tuners

My daughter just started guitar lessons at primary school so it's absolutely vital that we buy "her" a Taylor acoustic.

I need a sonic blue one; the surf green one clashes with this particular shirt I'm wearing today.

We are all different.
elwood would spend £20k on 15 guitars.
I would spend £20K on one guitar (or possibly 2 guitars).

I am certain that I am right.
But we are all different and we should try harder to understand each other.

The HarrySeven approach makes a little more sense to me because these budget guitars feel like they are part of our social history.  And.....the end result looks more like a "collection" to me.
I can just about imagine my house filled with those guitars in a parallel universe.

And no kid should be seen without a high end home studio setup and really expensive set of cans.....

I’m certain that I am the one that works my ass off for my money and how I spend it is up to me.

So shove your condescending bollocks up your arse

Wakes up one morning - I want to shred (can't shred for toffee) - must buy a fit for purpose guitar for shred - sell within a month because can't shred

Wakes up morning - I want to play Jazz (can't play jazz for toffee) - must buy a fit for purpose guitar for Jazz - sell within a month because can't play Jazz

Etc.

More than reasonable.

I think.... throughout her career... Joni Mitchell used over 50 different tunings.

Just saying  ;-)
