What would you do?

[Tonart]

I’ve not had an NGD for a while now. The oasis of new lacquer enlightenment is dry and parched.

But I also feel I have enough geetars. I’ve gone to Everest. Only Olympus Mons beckons now. So does free-soloing an anthill mound instead of guided helicopter or spaceship tours.

I recently spied with my hungry eyes, a singlecut I could buy and then refinish to a goldtop.

Go or no go?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

YOLO.

 

[jxe]

everyone has gold; maybe a bronzetop?

Hmm good idea!!

You’re asking addicts?

Well I’m sure not asking the wife...

Bodia figured it out.

What? That the addiction in incurable? That's no lie! Sergio put a certain single cut on my radar. I can't stop looking at it!

Tonart, of course you should do it!

 

[vchizzle]

There isn’t a SC gold top out there to purchase without refin? I’d do whatever sounds most exciting.

Can’t tell ya what to do about the guitar - my skills with a spray can only got as far as building plastic models as a kid - but damn, that’s a poetic turn of phrase!

I like this one in terms of color. Less traditional gold, not sure if this is champagne? I think it looks cool...

So are you looking to refinish it yourself or?

I dig that one! The effect that their lighting has on the lampshades is cool with that finish.

That’s a great color! I’m thinking to send it to PTC. The only thing I can refinish is leftover food..

That’s damn pretty! I wish I needed another guitar!

Incoming NGD!



I’m joking. I’m cutting myself off for now.

Also OP, if you’re not going to a NGD for yourself, have it for people like myself had 5 too many NGDs in a row and are cut off. That way we can live the joy of NGD vicariously through you. Go for it!

You know the rules of acquisition. Only have to get to #3.

1. Never go into debt for a hobby/pastime; never.
2. Never use money that is needed for living expenses; never.
3. If you want it and can afford it, buy it.

Having said that, I haven't bought a guitar in a couple years, and have little gas for another. I'm happy playing the ones I have.

Duh!

DUH!

Freakin’ rule number 1 in the GAS addicts clan. It would be punishable by death except unnecessary since said wife would have already done so.

LOL well it’s only either the wife or the addicts you see. There’s no in between. Everybody else just doesn’t care, one way or the other. Well I could ask Paul...

Wise words..

My rule, for the most part, is one in one out. I've mostly held to it. The modifier to it is that gig money is equipment money. I am, however, not horribly susceptible to GAS.
