The utter futility of collection thining

[sergiodeblanc]

Is he gone yet?

elvis has left the building.

 

[Tonart]

Yup, but I'll probably take the brunt of any thing she may throw.

Rope-a-dope, guys, rope-a-dope

Hmm then again maybe not, it’s just going to enrage them spouses more..

Modding a 305 for P90 is a big mod!

Well let me clear that up. I bought this 305 already routed for HBs in neck and bridge positions. The Vol and Tone pots have been switched around which I hate.

What I intend to do is HB sized P90s which I have and put Vol tone back in the correct positions. Then I'll see if it's a keeper or not.

Selling PRS is the worst idea I’ve ever heard.

What about selling PRS to fund OTHER PRS?

Well, there is certainly comfort in gluttony loving company

[BWV548]

You are getting close to rule of acquisition #5. One in, one out, is useless limiting. Trade what you want, keep what you want.

Thank you grand Nagus...

I get too emotionally bonded to all my guitars so I tend to never sell anything .

My friends all call my herd "The Abyss," once a guitar goes in, it never comes out .

I am exactly that way too.

Houston, we have a problem!!

I am 100% with you on this every time I think I have it figured out on what to sell off I play it and say NO WAY is that one leaving, I have sold some and traded some but my count keeps going up ( and still no cash for a Motorcycle )

This is what my last motorcycle gave me as a parting gift...my advice...buy more PRSi!

That’s what I did for many years.

Sure, I lost money each time I sold one, but I made up for it in volume.

Very nice PRS’s !! At least they’re not all the same model.... I’m guilty of that!

I can (proudly?) say that I have no model duplicates in my collection. The closest pair is probably my P24 and CU24: the P24 can do most of what the CU24 does, except the CU24 has a 5-way rotary, whereas the P24 has the blade switch, so even then there are differences.

I was very, very tempted by a SAS a few weeks ago, available locally for a good price, which might have been my first duplicate (but again it had a three-way toggle switch, whereas mine has a 5-way blade).

Yikes! Hope it has all healed back to "normal"!

just make sure of the one you want to be buried with

“This guitar has kind of a nasty smell.”

“Yeah, some guy was buried with it, and probably started decomposing. After a while I thought about what a waste of a good guitar that was, so I dug him up and took it.”

“What’d you do with the guy?”

“Remember me telling you I have skeletons in my closet?”
