I would check into getting a cheap guitar. Or even a used guitar.

Back around 1989, I was living in Long Beach, CA, in a sort of bad area, (PCH & Cherry). I had a beautiful sunburst 75' Strat decked out with DiMarzio PU's, Gotoh machine heads, etc. I also had nine effects pedals, a Morley wah, a Sholtz Rockman, two Fender sidekick 25 reverb amps, a rack mounted Aria Studiotrack 4 recorder, assorted other items, Boss tuner, anvil case to transport my effects, cables, mic's, etc.

I came home from work one day to find all of that gone... stolen. I filed a police report, they even came out, took prints, etc. I made a detailed list of everything that was stolen, made copies and went to virtually every pawn shop in the city.

I pretty much knew who it was that did the theft but, I had no way to prove it. I figured the landlady had to have seen something but, out of fear kept her mouth shut.

Folks, when something like this happens to you, its beyond a violation. I still feel the pain of that loss even to this day. My room mate had an old Taka acoustic that he just gave to me because he understood what I was going through.

Having your instrument in the shop for a few days is nothing.

A second or third or so guitar is for your musical soul, like having a spare tire for your truck or car.

How's that for rationale for G.A.S.?

So far my strat has been in the shop for two days, and I don't get it back till Monday. Aaah the woes of only having one guitar. I seriously think that I will be in the mad house if I continue without my guitar until monday. Anyone else ever had to deal without having there guitar for any period of time?


[quote=jagstang grunge-quake]I know how you feel! My strats head broke a year ago and when i took it to firehous, ididnt get it back for almost 3 weeks! I think i contimplated suicide. It was excrutiating as hell!
