How much money do you have tied up in your gear?

[pac90]

You guys are all crazy, but in a good way. AP, I love the fact you're in the middle of the road with 14 PRS guitars and 5 amps in your signature

I guess I represent the stalls, which is likely a good chunk of their market; came into this middle aged, never going to gig, percolated up from off brand to SE, S2 and core.

Love DC, SC and Stypes, so will continue to have 1 of each in the house and plan is for just the models change with time, percolating upwards, although I love what I got.
For a home user the helix type amp solutions are epic value, save a bunch of money there.

For a long time I was under $5000. Then I got a Silver Sky and now my two acoustics and two electrics are in the $5500 neighborhood and that low only because an accounting error gave me a $900 strat for $140 a couple years ago. I reported the error as I should have, but it was never corrected. It was my #1 until the Silver Sky relegated it to backup duty. And my 2 small amp’s and a few pedals are close to another grand.

I spent considerably more in the process of figuring out what I liked and didn’t like this time around (I played as a kid, all but stopped for about 30 years, then started again a few years ago), but that’s what I have in my current setup. Way closer to 5 than 10, but clearly more than 5 now. Even with the experimenting and losing $$ on selling the rejects, I’m probably still well below $10K spent overall.

I'm also in the middle-of-the-road it's a pretty safe place to be as said before spent 20,000 maybe it's worth 12,000. Safely in the middle-of-the-road where you can rationalize to your wife......

Most of my gear is 30 years old, so about £50!

The SE 245 was a kind gift, so my estimate stands!

Just in case anybody can’t remember how pleased and grateful I am -

If it werent for guitars I'd be putting it all into cars....or maybe if it weren't for cars I'd be putting it...ooh nevermind.

Only until the value of the cargo exceeds the value of the vehicle!

Oh, I do this on occasion. If the weather is bad I’ll drive my old car which can’t be worth more than a couple grand. Had I gig about a month ago where it was below freezing and was raining.

Waaaaay too much to admit.

This pic would be much more effective in conveying that emotion, if you had perhaps pee'd your pants or something. If I had photo editing skills, I'd fix that for ya.

Luckily I put a Teneman in that day!

Holy crap! I just added nothing but guitars and amps and had to change my vote. I hadn't even gotten to speaker cabs, modelers, pedals, etc. and was already over what I voted the first time.

Is that like a Depends?

That's the same realization I came to as well.

 

[bodia]

I "PLEAD" the fifth????? Damnit, I've been getting it wrong all these years. I always that it was "I DRANK the fifth!!"

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Yep!

Stood in the kitchen this afternoon and thought about that amazing day! Still blows me away!’

Thanks guys

Does it matter which currency I report in?
I assume I don’t have to include gifts. Maybe I should just vote for Mrs.

I figure it’s not what I spend, it’s what I earn in net profit with the gear.

OK, call me a capitalist swine.
