I just built two Teles from scratch this year and now I'm hardly even interested because I realized I need to work on my playing, my chords/transitions. To me, blasting away to some psycho drummer who needs an outlet for his pent up aggression, I've never been able to write music very well in that moment but I could solo to anything for hours.
If I get a minute to play, it's one of the Guilds. I've got let's see, chronologically, 1960 Supro 2 p'up 3/4 scale, '63 Dano Coppertone two p'up "Page model", two vintage Strats, three Teles, a 55-77 LP Special w Lollar P90's, weathered SG standard, a vintage 335 with some of the first SD Seth Lovers ever made, coil switches on the neck p'up for Strat tones, others and I don't feel the need to plug in anymore. Also have three drawers full of pedals. A Traynor Bass Mate 6V6 head sitting on a vintage 2x12 cab with 70's Celestions, plus a '76 Marshall 2x12 combo with Creamback G12-30's and a home brewed EL84 chassis, and a '66 Ampeg Gemini 1x12 with unreal Reverb/Tremolo, and more...
To me, they're all cash cows now, hopefully selling a couple electric guitars will put some $$$ back in the bank that I plundered to buy Guild acoustic guitars, which are good investments, but more importantly provide some escape, and bring happiness.
This has always been the best way to afford gear. Buy some, play it, and use it to fund other gear as your musical style changes, usually for the mellower.
