Does anyone ever have that feeling that your cheating on an old guitar when you get a new one and start spending time with it? lol

I have an arsenal of strats - and for the past year, I have been playing my '91 almost exclusively - well, I picked up an 08 model a few weeks ago, and havent really messed with it until the last week or so - I am really into this new guitar - it feels and sounds great! It is kinda odd though, because my older ones have knicks in the neck that I am so used to feeling, and with this new one, its smooth as glass - I am considering getting another 08 and just putting all the others away

I need to look back to see other threads about the 08's because im sure there are, I just havent had a chance to read them yet

Any thoughts?

i know what you mean, when you put your love into one guitar for so long and then to buy a new one and play it constant, it kind of breaks your heart to think that your breaking said guitars heart... or pickup haha

My other guitar is a BC Rich Mockingbird Supreme with humbuckers. I'm sure I'll use it again one day, once I want that humbucker sound again. For now though, it's Strat 100%

I used to get the guilt trip, but i've bought and toyed with so many guitars this last 13 years that my no'1 is confident that 'no matter what i fool about with, theres only 1 keeper in my collection'. It's seen em come and go.

I'll admit it...I'm a guitar tramp! Fender, Gibson, Kramer, B.C. Rich, Washburn, Peavey, Jackson, Charvel, ESP and a few I don't remember. I've proudly rocked them all and moved on for one reason or another. Sure, some I regret letting go of but the changes were needed based on the style of music I was playing at the time.

Now that I'm in my early 40's I think differently and have focused on my favorite guitars, Fender Stratocasters. I probably won't replace any of my current collection but there may come a day when I will once again add to it. The never ending search for the holy grail of tone!

No.


Here's my motto, when it comes to guitars.
