So they say. But a guitar is just a guitar, (eh, Rick?) you can deal 'em out and get another one, continuing the quest for the holy grail. Dealing one out to have enough money to live on for a month or two, though--nah, that's what credit cards are for.
I went for months this winter just playing that guitar, but last night I was playing it and didn't like it. New strings and all. Go figure. The sound gets harsh in the spring or sometin' lak dat.
Weird. I never thought I could afford to maintain two good guitars (and I was right), now I can't deal with the thought of not having two to choose from.
