V, wait 'till you hit 50! Lazy is where it's at, bro!
I feel your pain. Every decade it gets progressively worse. Used to in my twenties throw a Marshall 4x12 in the back of my Nova like it was cardboard, now at 54 I have sold off combos that were too heavy. Sucks to get old!
Maybe this is relevant. Maybe this should be a separate thread.
I always assumed that all gigging musicians would always have their valuable guitars in really good locking hard cases when traveling. And when I say valuable I mean, of course, not necessarily valuable in money value but valuable to the career.
In boarding and de-boarding the ship on the last two Bonamassa Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Cruises I saw countless guitarists doing the same. I saw Markus King, Kirk Fletcher, Jack Pearson and many more that I can't remember in the same line that I was in. Every single one of them had his or her guitar in a gig bag not in a hard case. And everyone of them with the gig bag on his/her back.
I assume they do this because after getting off the ship they are going to board a plane for home or the next gig and are going to carry it on the plane. But what if they can't carry it on? I meant to ask one of them but was never close enough.
but worst of all, I can no longer play standing up with a guitar strapped, sitting down only. (Thank god I'm mostly a jazz guy and it's acceptable)
NAILED IT!!!What’s age go to do with it?
I’ve always been lazy.
I would feel super guilty about that as I can just remove one guitar from my current bag and solve the issue. I’m sure someone else probably could use the gig bag that actually NEEDS it. I’d feel silly taking it off your hands even if you don’t want/need it. Very nice of you to offer which reminds me I should look through some things that might be more useful to others. I really just started this thread to be...well, a typical ridiculous guitar player.My SS came in a nice new S2 gigbag...just got my SS hardcase...so I don’t need the gig bag. If you want it...it’s yours. I can’t bear watching a forum brother torture himself like this...
I only have one question...do any PRS dealers participate in AARP or similar senior discount programs? Asking for a friend...

I was trying to be PC and not offend the idiots who are unaware they’re idiotsI'm not ridiculous, I'm an idiot!
Man, you guys are killing me. I'm going to work out extra hard tonight because of you. And when I'm about ready to give up, I'll keep repeating "you're not getting old and lazy!"Oh man........hit 50 and you will know it. Bodia speaks the truth.

I'm just about 59 and my wife is about a year and a half behind me. I resisted all of the AARP stuff until quite recently when I was looking into dental insurance and one of those I was considering was through the AARP. Signing up for AARP was something like $12-15 per year per couple - a nominal expense, so I did it. And then didn't end up going for that insurance plan. So, yeah, technically, I now belong to AARP, but I have yet to use it for anything or even get the membership stuff in the mail. I guess the next time I stay in a hotel, I'll take advantage of their rates. Not sure where else you get a benefit from it, but I'm sure I'll use 'em when I see 'em...I only have one question...do any PRS dealers participate in AARP or similar senior discount programs?
