pretty cool comments here... lots to consider and enjoy.
poll is running hot for #1, as expected... but I wanted everybody to get a chance to chime in
and/or explain where they're coming from.
there have been other threads here that discuss some different angles of this same
idea... one we actually never seem to get tired of on this forum.
I have had a great time modding my guitars (as I explained at length already)
but I agree with several of our members who say, "Play it for a good long time first, and
get to know what it can do, before you consider taking it apart."
And I'm firmly in the "buy used or inexpensive guitars and "improve' them" school of thought.
That certainly can be thought of as entertainment, and certainly not as "investment."
And I love the comment: "RESALE IS NOT ROCK AN ROLL"
That will have to be chiseled in granite just below the ETSG logo... as a reminder to all of us
about what is really important... and what is NOT.
Because really, the value of any of our guitars is in the music we can make with them.
Whether you are a hardened pro or a Sunday morning gawd-rocker or just play to torment
the others in your apartment building, it's really all about the music.
