A. I will miss the incessant shopping online on reverb, craigslist, and guitarcenter.

B. What do I do online now? Lessons? This has to be my last guitar. I’ll not buy another until I can play in public and not shoo people away.

C. Now all I have left is my poor guitar ability.

First world problems.

I must have missed the thread where you posted all those pics of your new guitar.

If I ever "grieved" after a guitar purchase I would probably go find something else to occupy my time.

Guitar Hunting is like a drug addiction.

All you can think about is the next guitar. Then you get it. And it's awesome. and you feel awesome. And it's the best thing in your life. And you know it can't get better than this. And you can stop buying guitars now, because this is it. This is what you've wanted. And it's so much fun and so satisfying. Then you slowly start coming down. And its just another day with the same old guitar. And you want to get another one. You start doing some small research. Playing guitars at your local shop. You don't need another guitar. But you want one. and then slowly and without realizing it All you can think about is the next guitar. Then you get it. And it's awesome. and you feel awesome. And it's the best thing in your life. And you know it can't get better than this.

And the cycle continues.

You've gone through more guitars than Pete Townshend in his hey-day.

Just kidding.

I've started playing the "Assisted Living Facility" tour.

If someone had told me 16 years ago,when I bought my 1st acoustic,that I'd be playing and singing for some 80 yr old ladies one day...

Life's a trip.

Researching "the big purchase" is definitely the most fun, addicting part of shopping.

It's like the day after Christmas. There's so much build up that everything after pales in comparison.

It's like, "Ok... what's next."
