I seem to be cured of GAS

axisus

Never thought I'd say that I didn't want another guitar! The combination of my Feline LP, my strat build and my angel tele has really left me not wanting other guitars. It's been quite a while now and I really don't feel bothered by other ones at all. I don't do my bi weekly 'project' search on eBay any more, and the guitar projects that I am already on haven't moved in over 6 months. Seems weird. I did this once before, but with mountain bikes. I was always reading mags, looking at stuff, checking upgrades, buying better bikes. Then one day about 7 years ago I bought a Kona kula deluxe and that was it. Never bought another mag, never looked at another bike. I'd like to get my projects fired up again one day, but I really feel that the well has run dry on interest right now.

I think you may just be in remission ?

You just need a 335 by the sounds of it

I was thinking this earlier, I was thinking "I wouldn't mind a custom 22". Then I thought, what on earth for? Just to have one? I think I'm more inclined to start collecting pedals.

I've actually got into cycling more, and I've thought about selling a guitar to fund a new bike. Need to get fit first! And again a bike, is a bike is a bike :P

See i spent a small fortune last year on building a partsacaster. With the idea, that I wouldn't need a real fender. Then gassed really hard for the daphne blue strat with the solid rosewood neck. I still think hmm Les Paul. But after 22 years of not owning one....again is it just to collect one? I have a fear of floyd roses, but every now and then I do fancy farting around on one. My friend has very kindly offered to lend me one of his.

This is all it is. GAS is incurable. There is no known cure. It can be relieved for a while...but it always. I said ALWAYS comes back. It might be just a lil pedal...or summit..but sooner or later you will fall off the wagon. And when you do you will be found lying in a gutter singing in a funny voice whilst onlookers laugh saying "he said he was cured!"

To be honest, I'm thinking specifically Electric guitars here, I could see me faffing around with amps, basses, acoustics in the future (no great desire right now though). As I mentioned, I'm hoping to at least get my projects going again at some point.

I usually think it's better to concentrate on your playing than to keep changing your gear.

It's better to know your gear really well rather than thinking there's some elusive tone on the horizon.

Blast!  No chance of me passing on the veneered strat for a king's ransom, then?

Try not to get started on acoustics. Now that's a VERY expensive habit!
