It's also like drug addiction, each new fix costs more money. I decided a long time ago, that I was not a collector. So, if I see a guitar I really want, I sell another one to help pay for the new one. I perform with two guitars, each in a different tuning, have another for backup, when one is in the shop for repairs. Anything else gets neglected. Having said that, I did recently get a new guitar, after nine years of not getting anything. I did keep true to myself and sold off the backup guitar.
