You Guys Have Turned Me Into A Guitar Snob

A couple of years ago i was not to picky over what guitar i got but after spending time here even decent guitars dont really look good enough.

Epiphone, rockbass, washburn and cort are out the window and squire isnt good enough.

Standard series fenders dont interest me now, i prefer slightly better models now.

Basswood and agathis are a no-no



Is it a blessing or a curse?

How can that be a curse? But it may not just be the forum?

I am a gear snob for what i will call my main big rig that is in the process of being made, but i am also putting a small rig together that will eventually have every part non snobbish, Guitar, Amp, Pedals all non snobish, and what comes out is a very unique noise.

I also have made the decission that simple is best, as few tings the better, the more you have the more that can go wrong.

I could give you an infinite no. of possible ESP custom quotes over $2k that have basswood bodies, but I'll save your time and mine and not.
