then i must have yours!

why is it that i only have had the Strat for a month and i am thinking about Godin Lg's and Gibson SG's.
the other day the wife said "are you happy now?"
i replied "oh yes!" and she said i was a liar.
she was right.
i do love the Strat but i need more to be truly happy.

terminal GAS

Yea, Zan. Tell her that guitars AND guitarists NEED company to function properly.

Yea, that's it.

It's a NEED

Zan... You must think logically... The Mayan calander tells us it's all over December 21st 2012... That's 4 1/2 years away...(or so) Using your credit card and paying the minimum due you are golden. That gives you 58 months to go bonkers with gas... Them Maya boys had this stuff down cold... check the records... Just get it and root for the Mayan team...

And be sure to tell her that a Doctor told you that! Doctor's orders!

(That's when she'll likely start practicing "an apple a day..." to see if the outcome suggested in the old axiom will in fact occur... )


Well, it's not exactly the same- not at all the same, really- but maybe you could get a Strat-pickguard loaded with a trio of P-90s and a switching-scheme allowing for the picup-combinations you'd want, and have the routes in the Strat's body enlarged to do double-duty, so that you could occasionally switch from the Strat-style single-coils and the "soapbars", and back again... ?

If you do wind up wanting- ehrr, I mean, going ahead and getting an SG- be sure to check out those U.S. Masters Hornets (SG-styled guitars); they are mighty fine SG-stylees, and feature some very good refinements and even improvements unique to their line. I'd very strongly consider their Hornet even compared to a Gibson SG (chiefly due to their extremely strong, stiff, sustaining set-neck design, proprietary to U.S. Masters). It doesn't hurt that they're rather competitively priced, either! (And they hace nice ebony fretboards, Reif!)

The only bummer is that I don't think they offer a Hornet with P-90 style pickups, which I think you'd want.

But, there are those Sd Phat Cats (Sp? Fat Cats?), the humbucker-sized 'n' shaped P-90-type pickups, as used in some excellent Hamer guitars...

Zan, one of the big flaws in your search for a cure is that you keep trading your one electric for another, for another, for another, etc. You have to start accumulating the different types!

In other words, you have to keep getting new and different types of remedies while keeping the old ones so you can combine them in all possible ways until it works (it never does but it shouldn't stop you tryin').

LOL Caevan!!!

Zan, if you need a note from your doctor......

When my wife got her last drum kit (which makes 4 for her now) she said, "this kit will do it for me. I won't need any others." Holding my recently acquired Gold Top Deluxe at the same time I said, "yeah, me too. No more guitars." ...

Then we both laughed hysterically!

The nice thing is that we do not have to explain GAS to each other and are actually each excited about each other's new toys when we bring them home! As far as what that does to our bank accounts...let's not go there!
