The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

I stopped it... bought my last guitar a long time ago (just checked the year was 2015).

But I still have the aftermath of a serious addiction to deal with.

Yeah I thought I was all finished too until I stumbled on my trans white Vantage Avenger.
Just could not leave it alone!

And since it's true confession time, I also picked up a couple of "surrogate Mats" guitars to ease the pain, a Squier Affinity Jazzmaster in burgundy mist with single coil pups, and just for giggles a cherry burst Epiphone LP SL (aka Melody Maker reissue).

The Jazzmaster is beautifully made and schmooooth as silk with nice chimey tones, and the Epi is a very basic slab but surprisingly good build and really rocks if you want it to. Just fun to play.

The things we do for our affliction *sigh*

I always tell myself, that I don't buy another guitar, until I sell at least five of my current inventory.

But since I don't want to give them away for nothing at a local shop... and my trial eBay experience was just annoying (answer dozens of questions during the running time of the listing and end up with a non paying buyer)... I didn't sell any yet... so I'm not buying neither... and I'm firm on this.

Next guitar would be a steel string acoustic...

For a while there I told myself if I want another guitar I have to let one go. That worked for a while. But, selling a guitar online, even Reverb can be taxing, aggravating and sometimes even infuriating. I list one for a VERY reasonable price and then the lowballers come in offering a fraction of it's worth. Once I fell for a sob story that the buyer only had so much and his guitar gave up the ghost. I dropped the price for him only to see it listed under his account a few days after he got it for twice what he paid me.

If I do sell a guitar it will be sold on my terms or I''m keeping it. I'm not desperate for money and I can ALWAYS find more room.

That's what we want, commitment!

Isn't it a remarkable aberration of the laws of physics or sumpthin'?
The space expands to accommodate the addition of the guitar!

Dr. Who loaned me his TARDIS and I incorporated that technology in my guitar room. It expands in direct proportion to the number of guitars. The room seems small from the outside but step inside and it's a whole different dimension.

I believe you.

My wife and me have an agreement, as long as it stays within one room, she's OK with it.

There is actually a little room left in that room (not much), but my guitar hoarding from the past is not justifiable on any account. Simply put, I haven't played most of the guitars in this room in years... but this are perfectly nice guitars made to be played...

Wutz, you need some help man?
You know you can always send 1 or 2 to Jorg. . .
