Location: SoCal | Things are just things. But we do grow attached, not because of what they are, but because of the part they played in our lives.
Some people feel that way about dogs. It's been almost 2 years and I still miss Charlie...... |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Some of mine are tools and could probably be replaced, but it might be difficult to find something exact, i.e., a well-broken in 1881 Adamas SSB. Some are are just eye candy and wall art, but there's also a few prototypes, limited editions and pristine vintage models that would be nearly impossible to replace. |

| For me it's just about the music.
I prefer plain guitars that have good action and sound great. Dot markers and no inlay on the sides of the neck etc.
That said though I really look after the two that I have; I'm attached to them and I appreciate the beauty in their simple design and wood grain.
I find some guitars to be just too ornate for my liking and as for collecting, it doesn't interest me much - If I was looking for another sound I'd consider adding another guitar but I'm still exploring the ones I have and I've been playing for probably 42 years.
Most of the players I know are the same way; they have a couple of good instruments and when they're not being played they're in the case. |

Guitar... a means to an end.
