Can you buy it and return it within a reasonable time?

Sometimes it's not until you get a thing home that your heart sinks and you say to yourself, "Why did I buy that?" If that happens, return the guitar.

Can you afford this guitar? Are you funding your IRA? Do you have a lot of debt already? Do you have a good place to keep it?   Is this guitar wanted for musical reasons or for status seeking? If the musical reasons are good,then fine, go for it.

There is too much pressure in our world to buy, buy, buy when we really want to play, play, play.
