I'm totally the opposite.

It takes A LOT for me to add another gun to the safe. Like I have to be wanting that gun for a very long time, it needs to fit a role none of my other guns fill, and I need to know how much all the accessories cost so I don't have the same issues I had with my BMW. Sweet car but it wasn't worth keeping on the road. A lot of guns fall into a similar category: "Pretty sweet, but I wouldn't spend my own money that way".

Plus I really would rather buy ammo and shoot one gun a lot than have a safe full of 'like new' sticks.

Gibson and marshall a match made in heaven. Very impressive JMP. Went through the big cabinet, tube power amp, marshall preamp phase. Down sized as life caught up. 2x12 line6 handles as much sounds as I need. Home built warmoth Paul Reed Smith and a couple of acoustics get me by for the occasional jam session. Won a ukulele at a trivia night and never realized how much fun and ease of playing they were. Great for the couch while watching tv and not making a ton of noise.

Thanks JD, I get that. What gets the played here in the evenings in the family room is a Parker jacked into Vox VT15 stuffed behind a couch played at conversation levels. It sounds just fine and good for noodling.

Some very cool stuff here.
I just bought a Larrivee D40. Mr Larrivee has a really nice military discount available if you ask nicely. I bought a US Masters strat copy way back in 2004, and play it through a Hot Rod Deluxe. I’m not good, but it brings me joy.

That's what it all about CZ.. There is some real therapy in playing. Starting out was frustrating, took about a year or more to get a good foundation.

Yeah, I started playing with my brother in a small band back in 2000. In '02 I went into the Army. After I got back from Iraq in '05 I stopped playing due to depression and just got back into playing this year. Rusty, but I'm surprised at how quick the chords come back to me.

I had quit playing for at least 10 years. I had sold off all my guitars except for two.

Last Father's Day my wife and son bought me a Charvel Chlorine Burst Pro Mod San Dimas and just like that BAM it's been game on ever since. I've gotten back into playing guitar and have had a serious case of GAS.

Here's the herd as it currently sits. Yeah, I'm a metal head and a Charvel fan.
