On two occasions I had a double NGD. One time I bought two new MIM Strats from a Guitar Center to use their necks on a doubleneck project. Another time (a long long time ago) I bought two used Strats (from different sellers around town) one Saturday afternoon.

Anyone had triple NGDs or more?

In the past I've bought multiple amps on the same day, but never guitars.

We must be profligacy personified, OO.

:lol:

I once bought two Corvettes in the same month? Is that close enough?

That was also almost the month my wife started divorce proceedings... :shock:

And yes, I have bought two guitars the same day - three times, all last year. I think one time there was a 20% off sale at Music-Go-Round and I bought THREE guitars, though I gave one to my son.

I have bought NO guitars in 2013.

I haven't had an addition to my collection in 6 years.

I had a 3 GD back in early 2009 when I went into Reid Music in Mt. Pearl,NL to buy a beautiful natural finish Epiphone Casino that they had come in.I tried out the guitar and of course fell in love with everything about it and the price was very very reasobable for such a high quality guitar...plus it had the John Lennon vibe which certainly didn't hurt its appeal to me.When I was walking to the checkout my eyes lit on a beautiful Epi EJ-160-E John Lennon model and of course that had to come with me too since John has been my personal idol,influence and mentor since Feb. 9 1964.

When I got to the checkout the manager who I have been friends with for almost 40 years was looking at the new Epi catalogue they had come and he was looking at the John Lennon model Casinos,I saw the beautiful Limited Edition guitars and read about how they had been painstakingly researched and ordered a 1965 on the spot-since I already had a reasonable facsimile of the "Revolution"Casino.

Even though I walked out with just 2 guitars that day,they had ordered and I had paid in advance for the 3rd.This guitar not only blew me away but the store staff were floored by the perfection of it when I opened the case for the first time there in the store when it arrived a few days later.

I've bought a stash of NOS tubes on the same day. :D
