"i bought a new guitar, and...

Uhhhhh.... Guitars are a bit more than shoes.
At least mine are...lol
Momma always asked what did you buy.
She knows the difference between a vintage Les Paul and a Fender Mustang, or even an Ibanez or Epiphone.
Shoes are a bit let less.... unless you shop at Gucci.
Jus sayin.......
And yes... she knows my inventory....
Heck... amps ain't cheap neither...lol


Good guitars are not sold.
I do not play but my 15 year old kid can play really good. He can play 4 or 6 string.
He plays is 4 string vintage Imbanez and old Yamaha the most.
I bought him a new 6 string for Christmas last year, he only plays it once in a while.
Yes amps are really expensive.
The thing about mopars are you can build one out of several cars, try that with a vintage guitar.
