There was lack of balance

[Gtrbldr]

And so I rectified it.

A short story about less is more. Up until a few weeks back I had a nice stable of 5 core PRSi. A few great staples and all taylored to my liking. A great, pretty CU24 with 57/08 PUs, a CU22 with wolfetone PUs, stoptail and WT neck, a McSoapy Korina (also with some wolfetones), a McC smokeburst series and a Starla.

Lucky duck. Yes. But also one with a constant doubt what guitar to play for a service at church. There was too much overlap. I found myself constantly switching and second guessing. Traded away my beautiful CU22, and somehow everything fits again. I jus play, pick one guitar, and stick with it.

So I restored the balance and there is peace once more.

Congrats on restoring balance!

I've gone through something very similar recently and I'm now down to two guitars, with one being my primary. It's my happy place

I said it in another thread a while back, but somewhere in the progression to having only PRS electrics, I ended up with fewer guitars and greater satisfaction. Balance indeed.

Isn't he the walking definition of more is less?

Sounds like you are riding the ebb and flow of gear acquisition.
When you start playing guitar: 1 guitar, 1 amp
When you are a few years down the line: 5 guitars, 6 amps, 20 pedals
When you are 20 years down the line: 1 guitar, 1 amp

Dude, you screwed up the balance! PRSes have to be owned in prime number quantities.

Yep! Was at 7 SE now down to 3 SE and two Core.

Well, I am not ready to get rid of another.

In this world it’s subtraction by addition

In this world it’s subtraction by addition

But riddle me this: I play MORE now, instead of tinkering and comparing my gorgeous guitars. Everything has its place and I enjoy the guitars I have MORE, now that I have less guitars

Oh, and a Bad Cat amp. My ONLY amp I must add.

You must be doing something wrong!

Sounds like you had a guitarcicist issue!

Fundamentally flawed statement. Balance, in this forum anyway, is ALWAYS achieved through ADDITION, not subtraction!

I was going to show some leniency, since this is your first offense, but your current delusional state has you believing this is a positive. Because of that, I’m suspending your man card until proof of acquisition is shown for two new PRS guitars, then say three Hail Mary’s and two mother may I’s. Then throw yourself so the mercy of the forum court, and hope for tie best.

Better hope I don’t get appointed for that case.

 

[DreamTheaterRules]

I think one nut is sufficient for a first offense. After all, he didn’t sell a Santana, or… (shudders) Westie!

But I defer to your superior experience.
