You tell me what I am: I came here in 2003 after buying a 2003 Celeb Collector, sent it back and bought a 1778LX sight-unseen from some lousy Salesman in NJ. Now my wall looks like this: I have made a lot of Friends, butchered several guitars and I am ecstatic because the Bathroom is finished and I have started to regain my Man Cave!!! | ||

A whole different kettle of creatures and one of the more endearing features of this group, IMO. Geeks know a guitars provenance by the serial number. Snobs would not form social bonds with the paid employees of their guitar maker, then still socialize with those who only play in the shallow end of the infatuation. ;-) Woody is one of those guys you always want on your team. In the war movies, he's the guy that builds the machine that gets everyone out of a trap with parts from an abandoned motorcycle, a washing machine, and the units busted radio. | ||

If you wouldn't but an 'aged' EC Blackie because it's just so-faux; you may be a guitar snob. If you wouldn't own a guitar that was not made with a rare species of wood, or cost less than $7000 because "they just sound cheap; you ARE a guitar snob. | ||

What came to mind as the antithesis of that statement was the scene in Goodbye Girl where Richard Dreyfess is upset at the lingerie hanging in the bathroom... "No, more, panties on the railing!" Dude, you should be ashamed. | ||
