I had no idea what this was from until I looked it up on YouTube.

I am going to use this from now on

I'm totally fine, I've managed to replace my unhealthy gear habit by a totally healthy pedal building habit.

Oh wait.......

Genius!

I'm not allowed to buy anymore guitars/cabs, but no one said anything about building

got two tele's in the workshop, and 3 more cabs planned out.

I'm addicted to guitar gear, gadgets, comics, photography gear, and buying cool toys for the kid.

My wife says I need to stop...

so did my accountant.

So to document this I took photos of my current rig and will update this thread in a year to compare
Place your bets, gentleman.

Personally I hope I win as curing gas could be a good thing

I know it's been two years (plus), but you did promise us an update after a year...and there was none here. Did you make it? Or did you just get new gear AND a new girlfriend?

I didn't make it. One new amp, and two new guitars hahaha.

New User Name? Did you have to change your identity to hide your purchases from the girlfriend?

OU818 · Post by **OU818** » Tue Jul 12, 2016 12:36 am

Hah. I made it 9 months.

Since then bought heaps of new stuff

This is the stuff I've ended up with.

However I don't think she really minds as she recently paid for me to attend a guitar building workshop. This is where I am currently up to.

Haha, there's OU818...I don't even know you, but I knew you couldn't make it a year.

I recently updated my facebook cover photo to the same picture that is on the signature line here. My wife saw it and said: "I had no idea you had that many guitars". I danced around explaining when and why I bought each one (reminding her that she should remember each one). I don't think she bought it, so I may have to abstain for a while....if I can

...by the way, nice additions! And you'll have to post pics of your finished product...sounds fun.

The ladies can give lots of lessons...

The shoes you never saw before?.. she has had them ages
The price tag you glimpse?.. oh no, it was 75% off

Repeat after me ..
you have never bought a new guitar or amp
the one she saw you have had ages, and you are surprised that she doesnt remember it..
..and it was used anyway...

I can't find a picture of it now, but there's a shirt floating around out there that says,"When I die, don't let my wife sell my guitars for what I told her they were worth."

I hope my mom will buy me this shirt:
