charlie brown Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah, I saw this on the Epi Blog site! Could be another winner...?? Hope so, for them, anyway. But...My GAS will have to be contained, for a bit, after the Riviera P93 LE purchase. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epinder Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The only good news for us lefties is that our COGP (cost of guitar purchasing) is a lot less than you righties. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicester35 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 WTF??? Holy smokes I smell Coronet! Blimey, are you guys not married? How do you talk your wives into letting you buy all these guitars? I've been scheming a way to buy a Sheraton and just slip it into my collection...just pretend it has always been there...but deep down I know that won't work and I'm better off just coming clean. My missus might not know a Tele from an SG, but she is going to notice a bloody great shiny Epiphone Sheraton on a guitar stand, that wasn't there the day before. Meanwhile you guys are buying Rivieras by the truckload...I reckon American wives must be more easy-going about guitars and less desperate for new fridges / furniture / carpets and all the other stuff you can really live without.

[/quote'] I don't have children, so there is no college money/car money/clothes money/allowance money/cell phone money going out. I spent half of a lifetime seeing things come and go that I could not touch because I didn't have the money (my first teaching job netted me $11,000 a year, and that was with a Ph.D.). And it's not like we are buying Gibsons or Rickenbacker 325's. We are buying Chinese guitars that are fun to play but not really serious investments. I have friends who fly to Las Vegas or Atlantic City and drop $10,000 at the roulette table. That doesn't sound like fun or a good way to spend money.

charlie brown Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Enjoy your new guitars!...Take care guys. Oh, not to worry, Growler... If we want them, we'll buy them... And, if we don't have the money or a real interest, we won't! So, you're not causing anything we wouldn't experience, anyway...from someone or some other source. Stick around....
