Thanks Adam. I was speaking to my wife today and she wants to do it for my birthday in September I think. If not I'll will be ordering it myself pretty soon. Just have to make her understand 10 electrics is perfectly normal haha.

How many pairs of shoes does she have......my arrangement is one guitar per pair of her shoes.....#50 is currently speeding its way to my grubby paws from PBG HQ!

You sir are a genius. I'll have to use that haha.

Welcome Andrew.

Now this shoe thing has started a debate in my house.

My wife has 400ish pairs of shoes and says I'd be lucky to get to 1:4 guitars to shoes ratio.

She then suggested that I can have one guitar for each equivalent length of shoes (I think a firebird is maybe about 7 pairs long)....this would give me 57 guitars.

Now she is saying I have to buy her 5 pairs of shoes each time I buy a guitar...the goalposts keep moving....I say I have to catch up with her shoes first (I think I am at about 11 guitars if I include the unbuilt kits)....and now she is saying don't put that on the internet!

My wife supports my GAS to an extent. The old yeah you can get that if you want. Later on, could be days, could be months, she'll use it against me with the big old "well you bought that guitar. How many do you need, you can't play them all". We've all been there haha.

[Fretworn]

Unfortunately the shoe arguement wouldn't work with my wife. I've apparently reached the limit of the number of guitars I can have, she's agreed to a one guitar in, one guitar out arrangement!

[ponch]

brutal. thatd be like giving up kids. even my first guitar, a pos ibanez will never leave me.

[wokkaboy]

Fretty you may have to work out a way of the guitars you have reproducing or swap a single neck for a twin neck kit !

Ah gentlemen. I can truly understand your dilemma but fortunately I don't suffer from it. Believe me, I'm glad. It would be bold of me to say my wife accepts my GAS but it would be closer to the truth to say 'tolerates'. Fortunately, the band plays often enough that it will fund my musical addictions. It's just that I'm in a 'studio gear' phase at the moment. Once I've saved enough for those toys it will be back to the guitars. Especially the new, gorgeous, hollowbody, ES-3 jazz demon. Mmmm. Can't wait to see how Weirdy's turns out!

Frets - have you got any friends that you trust? You could lend one of them a guitar with the ulterior motive of "teaching them guitar", bemoan the fact you have a blank space for a guitar and then go about fixing the issue with a new guitar. When the first guitar comes back, you then obvoiusly need a new stand to make sure you don't damage it which means you then have all these blank spaces that need to be filled with more guitars - after all, you can't have only one guitar in a 7 guitar stand...
