I have 3 (Ok, closer to 4) dozen guitars in my photobucket listed as gear of yesterday.  Many if not all are guitars I wish I'd kept.

Just the way it goes, perhaps its the thrill of hunt more so then the trophy it represents.

For reference...

I keep looking for a double cut two humbucker solid body guitar that isnt a PRS. Ive spent lots of hours over the last few months.

I get frustrated every time I look, no Ibanez, Yamaha, ESP, Hamer or anything  I like the look of. I scour ebay looking for older and vintage MIJ guitars and everytime I take this trip it ends with me realising I have 3 double cut two humbucker solid body guitars.

But theyre bolt ons. Which doesnt really bother me at all. They sound fat and chunky. One, a 78 Ibanez, is very much a LP sound alike even with the bolt on neck. I doubt I would gain anything by getting a set neck guitar.

A week later, there I am again searching for a double cut two humbucker solid body guitar, 67 tabs open including Japanese yen to Au dollar converter tab.

Its basic insanity. You can call it whatever you want, call it the pursuit of "art" or whatever higher calling you need to get you over the line.

I havnt picked up the guitar in weeks, really, I had a jam but only because I had to, it was fun on a social level, musically, it was fun but I wasnt in to it.
I haven't had  a real interest in playing for a while but I just closed the usual 30-40 tabs looking for a guitar to buy that Im not really sure exists.

Why am I doing this? Well, its a nice distraction, I guess. I dont watch TV.

Looking back at my nearly 10 years of Heritage ownership I would definitely say that I've demonstrated some legitimately addictive behavior at times......but all said and done I figure it could have been a lot worse if I were a Henry J fan....... or like my "friend" who's literally blown tens of thousands of dollars over a similar time frame by betting on pornographic time share races.

Heritage use to make a double cutaway humbucker guitar.  Go take a look at their web page.
