Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | In trying to define guitar snobs, I think we wandered into guitar geek territory. 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. |

Anita, why would the opinion of someone you've never met persuade you to sell it? I was buying the 1861 recently and need more cash so I had to sell one of my guitars. That was the one I chose to sell after talking to people. I love the 1861 but wish I could have kept that one.

That I completely understand! Me too....sadly.
Here's a link to illustrate that very dilemma:

If you know the names of more than 7 of the people involved in making your guitar, you are a guitar geek. |

YVW, and it's all true. |

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. |
