But I came REALLY close.

It's just so nice sounding. And it felt like it belonged in my hands from the day I was born.

The guitar is in pristine condition for an instrument of that vintage.

I still might go pick it up . . . but at that price I really need to be sure it's the guitar of my dreams . . .]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206469 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206430 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:56:21 +0000 1. Rather than saving money in an acct. on which you later pay income tax on the interest,you can buy the guitar and as long as you are very careful, enjoy looking at it and playing it as it appreciates further.!!!
2. You aren't getting any younger and this is always what you wanted (g)
3. If you bought any other kind of recreational product MC,Snowmobile, Quad etc. it depreciates SO FAST.
4. You can always sell it and get your money back at least!!
5. It was made the year you were born and it would be so cool to have the exact guitar that you always wanted especially seeing how it was made the same year you were.

These are just a few I have used on my wife and seem to work occasionally. Just thought they might help you out. I am sure others have better justifications to add. It really is a great looking instrument, I say DO IT!

Yeah... $6000+, that is some major GAS. I stick to the $0 - 600 range, myself.]]> Guitar Players Discussion The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206405 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206390 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 17:33:31 +0000

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission.

Something death defying or something like that.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206390 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206382 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 16:53:37 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Rahul https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206382 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206377 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 16:45:20 +0000

The dealer showing this is known to be a very very scrupulous guy who really cares for his reputation, so I accept that evaluation.

I took the day off to go play it . . .

Oh the wife is gonna murder me . . .]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206376 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206341 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 10:01:28 +0000

It's a 1954 Gibson ES-175 for only $6250 . . .

The wife has recently expressed that I shall not purchase another guitar . . . but drooooooooooooooooooooooooooool! Hmmm. Gotta be careful. Pretty unlikely the tuning machines are original, as nearly all of those disintegrate with UV and time. For that price, it should be all original, in great shape and only suffer lacquer checking. If you're going to buying one last guitar, why not an L5?

A year and a half ago I went crazy over a Gibson Johnny A signature on display in the Gibby Custom Shop traveling display. Fortunately, they would not sell it to me. Of course it was only about $3500.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206341 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206339 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 09:27:37 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gasin-hard/#post-206339
