Hi there,

I'm a beginner but I don't know why, I started to buy a bunvh of guitars and now I've 5 ones !!

I'd already a very old Lespaul before going back to playing guitar, then I purchased a Yamaha pacifica 611, then a SG, then a telecaster and at least a stratocaster !!!

My home office looks like a reccording studio.

Is this just me or is it some kind of sickness of most of guitar players ?

I'm sorry my friend. You have GAS.

Guitar

Acquisition

Syndrome

Sometimes it metasizes/mutates into a full-blown Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Then your home office gets moved into the living room because you have too many guitars, amps, pedals, and other gear in your home office.

Seek professional help! :-)

I went through a phase where I was buying gear like crazy. One day I realized that the gear was becoming more important then the fun of playing to me.


I have three guitars at the moment, more pedals than I can count, and a couple of amps, and I'm on a gear buying feeze.


I just enjoy playing much more when I'm not thinking about all the awsome guitars I want to own one day.
