But I always woke up to the reality of "you don't need more guitars." I'd rather have her complain that I bought a guitar she was going to buy as a present. The OFC 1 was essentially that--birthday, Father's Day and Christmas present. Buy your own present and tell your spouse that you saved her the trouble. | ||

Joined: December 2006 Posts: 6995 Location: Jet City | I don't recall the most I've bought in a single day used, but I remember quite well buying 2 brand new ones. A brand new Adamas 2 Reissue from Alpep and a new 2078 Custom Elite from a local dealer at the Ovation Roadshow. That was an expensive day. | ||

But I had the money! I was unemployed, but I was getting a check at that time. (and my unemployment check was more than the paycheck of many people that I knew) I hadn't thought about that for a looong time. But now that MIB reminded me of that, I have been mentally kicking myself. ![]() | ||

I guess if someone were to haul off and buy a music store it could happen pretty easy, but other than that it would seem to be a very unique day in one's life. Then again, from some of the collections I see on here, eleven at once could easily be a "meh" to a true addict. Who was it did the lyric?... "There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes." I guess it could be changed to, "There's a room down the hall where all the money goes." ~LOF~ | ||
