For those potentially like-minded and equally ill GASers such as I, who tend to collect as well as play, do you ever feel like you are personally "rescuing" a guitar when you buy it?
Do you feel sad to see it hanging or lying there all unloved, and know that YOU would love it more and take better care of it than anyone else?
Do you feel sometimes like it's a moral imperative that YOU PERSONALLY rescue that instrument before someone else who is less deserving or, maybe even evil, gets to it first?
When you see someone doing something stupid to or with a really nice guitar, do you feel like you should tell them? Or maybe hit them on the head and TAKE said guitar?
Do you feel bad when you have a guitar on layaway that it somehow knows that maybe, just maybe, you should be trying HARDER to bring it home FASTER?
Once you get it (her) home, do you feel guilty if you don't play her enough?
Do you feel I need medication as much as I suspect I do?
