I feel sorry for all you GAS victims. I feel your pain. Just to think of the nightmare of having to change strings on 47 guitars, every month, makes me shiver! When do you find the time to practice? I only have two guitars to change every month, and that's enough.

If you are a performer, and you play in several different styles, and you record also, I can see the need for different types of instruments, but, for most of us, they're just a middle aged wo/man's toys. I have only owned two guitars in my life, and I still have them both. The first I have had for thirty-six years. I bought it when I was a teenager. The second is new, and I consider it an old man's luxury.
