I'm guessing you sit and play that thing for so long that you need padded bike shorts to keep you comfortable?It’s been tragic

Once you reach a certain point, new gear doesn’t necessarily make you sound better, just different.
But it’s those differences that are so interesting to explore that make the whole gear thing pleasurable.
Just remember that with Gear Lust... you're just one auto-correct away from becoming a Gear Slut .

I would normally say "too late!" But Casi brought me crashing back to earth.Nice legs! Well I can’t keep giving @DreamTheaterRules all the attention, he’ll get big-headed!
Depends...That’s not padding...

Not sure Eddie was correct, but history is often rife with formulaic music until something truly new and invigorating comes along...which was poo-pooed until it gained some acceptance from its own niche of fans...
I have them on an SE and a CE. Not the difference I had hoped for.I'm always tempted with things that MIGHT make all the difference in the world.
On a different thread I had asked if the brass spring claws made any difference and nobody responded. I'm kind of thankful for that!
I go in and out of that "just one more" mentality. A few years ago I had 10-11 guitars and two amps. I said this is ridiculous, you're a hobby player, thin this stuff down. I did just that, sold everything I didn't play regularly and had 3 guitars, 2 amps and 3 pedals. After going through some tough stuff I am now back to 12(!) guitars and 4 amps and who knows how many pedals. WTH!! Within the past year I purchased 2 PRS, a used DGT and new 594, and two more amps, a BadCat Black Cat 15 and a Friedman PT-20. ALL are great pieces of gear and they all make me sound good, but the sad reality is we just moved to another house and I don't room for everything so it's back to selling off the lesser used gear. I guess I'll learn one of these years.
Pickups and amps are fun ways to change things up. I somehow went 2019 without a guitar purchase... But did get an axefx, 2 sets of bare knuckles, and new studio monitors for playing at home.I only have mild gas at the moment my Special Semi Hollow and the 2 Silver Skys ( along with an Amp and Cab )
I am feeling pretty set at the moment ( 11 guitars ( 8 PRS ) , 3 amps ( 1 PRS ) , 2 pedal boards )
Like any addict I am liable to slip at any moment my last purge has me thinking more about playing less about collecting.
I also have a set of pickups on the way to take one back to original so its like a new guitar day
