For well over a year I've been smothered in a sweet fog of contentment being very happy with my modest guitar collection. I thought that Amelia might spark some desire, but no. Even after sampling any number of fantastic guitars I find myself as happy as a clam. It's a great state of mind to be in. | ||

Each of the six New England states had a building where they showed off their wares, and what they were famous for. (Vermont had maple syrup, and how it was made for example.) Rhode Island had a bunch of stuff, but you could buy really good clam cakes there. They also had a huge midway with rides and games of chance, cattle barns, the "Better Living" building, where all kinds of businesses sold the latest stuff. There was always live music. (I saw the Doobie Brothers there back in the 70's.) And they had a great draft horse show, which is the only part I attended in later years because, as Bob said, it was just too crowded. We used to like going on rainy days to beat the crowds, but then it got to where it didn't make any difference. So I would go to the horse show, zip over to the Rhode Island building for clam cakes, then leave. | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 15654 Location: SoCal | I'm pretty well in that same state. I like all my guitars and don't feel a need to add to them. Yesterday morning, every guitar I picked up sounded horrible. Just didn't seem right. About mid day, I picked up my GC 12 string and it sounded wonderful. Then in the early evening, I picked up the FD14. Same reaction. Then one by one I played everything else. Same reaction. Life is good. I thought the "Big E" was the Enterprise. That's what it was known as in WWII..... | ||

Verrrrry nice but I currently have my eyes trained on a couple of other targets...one electric and one acoustic. I am doing very well resisting buying the Collings SJ cutaway on ebay. I guess I'm reasonably happy at the moment too. The electric will take about 4 weeks to build and the acoustic about a year. Haven't pulled the trigger on either one yet but I have come real close a couple times. | ||

Joined: August 2006 Posts: 3145 Location: Marlton, NJ | I think that after all of my recent wrangling that I will be content. Sold 2, 1 is on ebay and bought 1... a big one. It will be just about a break even proposition, so SWMBO is happy. It's the old "1 in 3 out" rule. I was thinking about this earlier... before joining here, I was pretty content. I had a tak g series and a damaged, but usable Preacher. NOW... fugghedaboudit! | ||
