chilton100 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I live in a small town with just one music store with very few guitars. So I don't get any opportunities to be an impulse buyer at home. Instead I'm an impulse bidder on Ebay and other sites where guitars are bought and sold. When I got home late last night after having a couple of beers on the town I saw a nice LP on Ebay with a low starting bid. I don't need it but I couldn't resist placing a bid that should keep me as the high bidde at least for a couple of days. Who knows where it'll end? Last year, while browsing an auction site to see how much an used Fender combo amp would cost, I stumbled across a green Gretsch that was so cool I just had to buy it. I'm still not sure what to do with it but it sure looks and sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongoscot Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I am trying really hard right now not to impulse buy ANY guitars. I am saving for a Les Paul and I am about a third of the way to my goal, yet I keep stumbling across really cool guitars that I could buy right now with what I have already saved. I could easily lose my mind at any second and just buy one of them, but then I am back to square on on my Les Paul. Focus on the grand prize Scot, Focus.

RUSHian Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just sold my 70's Gold Top Tribute (now I have one guitar). Now I'm obsessing about a Midtown Standard with P90's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work in Progress Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Did you get anything before Parker's closed. By the time I got there, all the good stuff was gone. My impulse buy was my Am. Dlx. Strat. Northside of Houston is a place called Kat's Guitar/All Pawn. Half guitar shop, half pawn shop, that sells guitars new and used. Walked in there, and there it was hanging on the top row. I plugged it into a TRRI and played for about 30 min. I turned around and asked the guy about his layaway plan, and proceeded from there. Got it out about 3 months later. I got a Seagull acoustic for fairly cheap. But yeah, the place was nearly empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Rose Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I never give more than $300 as an impulse buy, whether it's for a guitar or something else. have to think about the money first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
