I am struggling with this one. It is the first guitar that has excited me enough to consider buying one in about 5 years. I have found two that I kind of like. I am not super crazy about the finish on either of them. One is Santana Yellow and the other is Fire Red Burst. One is a wood library and the other is a 10 top core. I have called on one of them and got a discounted price on it. I will probably call on the other one today to see what they will do. These are quite expensive and I am not sure if they will really add much to my collection. I have a couple of high end HSS guitars, one I play a lot, a custom built Suhr Carved Top Standard with a one piece quilt top.
My wife has not been much help in this decision. She said she figured I was going to buy one and told me which of the two she liked better. The reasons she likes it better is she likes the strip on the top better and doesn't like how yellow the Santana yellow one is. I am also questioning if the Santana yellow is actually as yellow as it looks in the pictures. I have a 2012 Experience P22 that is Livingston Lemon drop and the guitar is nowhere near as bright yellow as the pictures looked.
Part of me is saying if I am struggling with it this much, I should hold off and see if it is something I really want. Another part is telling me that the struggle is because I haven't found the perfect guitar for me yet. I believe the deep hesitation is how much the final cost will be and if it will be something that really excites me when I get it.
Thoughts?
Yea, I know you are all enablers. I just needed to get this out there to people that understand the struggle.
