By the way, do you know what keeps most dentists employed, aside from state monopolies?
People having teeth.

More cheesecake! But I have leftovers Shrimp and Grits, and OMG was it incredible!!! And of course, you’re always welcomeWhat’s for dinner. I can still make it (if I take the right car- I’m not a 1 car guy you see).
Pics will follow, and you, sir, will eat your words!It isn't real cheesecake unless it has cherries on top of it.
I agree with you on the guitar stuff, but I’m gonna have to stick to my guns about my wife’s dinner and desert today. Both are brag worthy! Pics will be posted sometime tonight or tomorrow, and within 24 hours ALL of you will be wishing you were me.A snob is a pretentious git.
This is a great forum, don’t screw it up
I approve the the fruit ratio on the cheesecakeThose of you who follow me on Instagram, the pics are up.
There’s actually almost that much more on the other side of it that is not visible in the pic. More better.I approve the the fruit ratio on the cheesecake
Em7 makes some fair points:
First, it's great to concentrate on one guitar, or even one model of one guitar, to get to know its nuances. It really works. For a long time, I made my living with only one guitar at a time. I'm a believer in that concept.
Second, I agree that the Maryland guitars are a cut above. Doesn't mean everybody needs one, and it's not talking down to anyone to say they're a better guitar, because that's the simple truth.
Third, Simon Says said he was done with this thread a page or two ago, and he isn't. Because he's that Angry Man Who Takes Things About Gear Personally And Goes Ballistic Over what Someone Says.
Bad form, seriously.
Hey, I've been that guilty guy. Sometimes I still am. Ask 11Top. He's still ragging my ass over past statements about guitar collecting from 2012.
I cast no aspersions on Simon, but, Em7 is a pretty good guy with a tremendous amount of good info, and I hate to see him berated.
Simon will tell me to go #$% myself. It won't be the first time someone's said to do that. I promise not to care.
Don’t come in late and try to restoke a fire. It’s over, and we’re talking about cheesecake now.The first post is laughable.
I am not. But, who cares. People play cheap guitars and still love them.Don’t come in late and try to restoke a fire. It’s over, and we’re talking about cheesecake now.
Yes, and the last part of that sentence is all that matters. For years, my daily player was an Ibanez JS100 that I paid $400 for used, and I could happily live with that guitar forever as my only guitar if I had too. Unfortunately, 6 PRS's and 3 EBMM's later, it just sits in the case un-played, which is both a shame, and a waste. That is a great guitar.I am not. But, who cares. People play cheap guitars and still love them.
For most of my playing career, I owned one electric guitar and maybe a backup along with an acoustic guitar and one amplifier. Today, there is a preference to purchase a bunch of lesser quality guitars to owning one really good guitar and maybe a lesser quality backup. I do not know when or where this mindset originated, but there is an advantage to owning only one good guitar over a bunch of inferior guitars, especially if that is all one can afford. It is like owning and practicing with only one firearm. One gets to know it intimately. That is why one Stevensville PRS guitar beats a stable of SEs. A Stevensville PRS guitar will continue to please long after the sting of the price is forgotten, buy once, cry once.
I know others have mentioned this fact, but chops and tone cannot be purchased. All but the most gifted guitarists built their chops through extensive practice (a.k.a. woodshedding). No amount of guitars, amps, or pedals are going to change that equation. It is much easier to become proficient with guitar when one is not swapping between guitars on a regular basis. If one cannot play with one's eyes closed (or at least without continuously looking at one's hands), one has not reached the level of familiarity to play more than one guitar, especially when we are talking about guitars with different scale lengths, which can take a period of adjustment for even experienced guitarists.
