After years and years of hard graft to finance a total of 17 guitars, it has only taken me a year to get rid of 16 of them.
Quite theraputic actually. Am l nuts ?, or could it be a case of less is more ?
If l sell this last one, l will be guitarless for the first time since l was 14 years old ...many moons ago.
How long could you live without a guitar ?........
In an ideal world I'd be a one-guitar man - I love the idea of having a really deep familiarity with just one instrument, but I just can't quite get away with it, especially after getting back into playing bottleneck which I went off for a long time.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
If you're a strummer, I'd go for an all-mahogany OM sized Martin.
For fingerstyle I'd go for something from a smaller UK builder.
Actually, scrub that, just get an Atkin
Pick one .....no pressure
guitars are not impossible to build guys, you just need the WILL and somewhere to do it, it's the same 'process' as becoming a player.
there I said it.
There is nothing wrong at all with the showing of, and even not really playing them apart from copying your favourite guitarists.
The issue for me is the crap that gets spouted about purity, mythical pickups, hearing a difference in types of rose wood fingerboards..... On an electric lol
Guitars sounding sterile hahha bugger off its your fingers that are sterile not the guitar!
Mocking others for buying far eastern guitars, usually all to cover up the ineptability to play but making the guitar a priority and not the music and playing it.
I posted a sound clip on my eastern made copy to a BIG forum and they thought it was a Collings !! - I doubt any of them actually heard 'the music'.
Having said that there are so many lovely instruments to look at and play these days, temptation is all around.
