NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

I don't have any self-imposed limits this year, but there isn't anything I am really looking for, either.
 
Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

I'm thinking that it's been far too long since I have had an acoustic. Probably looking at an Ovation of some sort. Or maybe Ibanez, Epiphone, Breedlove or Taylor, if the price is right.
Of course I prefer acoustic/electric.
 
Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

good luck Ace. I acquired 4 more guitars and 2 amps in January -all "unplanned"

I did sell 1 amp and give away one guitar, but since I'm trying to pair down my collection, January 2020 was a terrible month
 
Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

See - I was gonna buy a new Ovation, because the action on my got horrible. Now I need to fix it.

This problem is non existent when you're poor.

Would you trade in your car when it needs new tires and an oil change? No, you'd get new tires and get the oil changed. Maintenance, that's all it is. Find a good local tech and have it taken care of.

My Martin was the same way some years ago

I had put new strings on

11s

It had shipped with 10s

The heavier strings bowed the neck

Trades are ok, right? I don't trade gear often because I'm picky about what I like but I did a trade a couple weeks ago. That's at least one in/one out so not technically "new" gear.

Ok, sold another AMP and Guitar -so now I'm just +2 on Guitars for the year and one was my grandmother's -couldn't really turn that down.

I already had the neck re-attached....This thing is a celebrity and over 15 years old! Heavy stage use...

Ace, can’t live by your rules, man. I’ve already wildly violated the New Years no gas pledge.
 
Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

Good luck...
Seems like I'm constantly at the state of
" I like my current setups and everything sounds good"
=> few weeks later
" I wonder how this guitar, amp, pickup, pedal would sound?.." or "that's a good deal on that."
repeat forever
 
Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

You can always justify it if it is something you 'need'.

I am looking for a comfortable acoustic that is the size of a solidbody, but sounds amazing plugged in. My Acoustic Variax fits the bill now, but it has developed some weird static thing in the preamp, and those aren't available anymore. So if I find a good deal on a Godin Multiac or something like it, I'll do it. But I use it for work, you know.

Have you tried the Taylor T5z
