...I've never had this problem with guitar gear before.
Since I got the SG faded and Yamaha THR10, I've been practicing more and improving better (ok, I switched to right-handed, so anything is an improvement...), and, my urge to buy stuff, while still there, is struggling to dominate the conversation as it once did. The SG and Yamaha are easy to play, fun and perfect for home practice.
I've sold nearly everything else, all I have left is one left-handed bass that's up for sale. That's it. No pedals at all, no other amps and no other guitars.
A nice-ish PRS has been sent back and I have a shop credit for about $450, but I can add another $500 or so to that if I wish; the money is in the bank waiting (actually, I could add more if I want).
There's loads of stuff at the shop to buy, and some at decent prices: 스쿨뮤직 - 약속을 지키는 사람들
I just have to give them the code number, and it'll be delivered the next day...
I've been gassing for ages for a Les Paul, and that's why I ended up with the PRS (I couldn't find a LP junior that I really wanted at the right price), but a few days later got the SG at a good price, my playing is ok, so now I can confidently goto shops, pick up the guitar and see how it plays. Herein lies the problem - I want something that plays well, sounds good and is good value compared to the SG.
I've tried loads of LPs, and even a $1300 2016 LP studio, that looks great, just doesn't do it for me on the playing side. I really like the scale length and 60s neck of Gibsons.
Meh... To me, it's not worth double the price of the SG when I'll play it less. Lovely case though.
This one is still a possible, 2016 SG standard - I really love the 2011 and 2016 Gibsons - batwings galore.
$1100 is ok, but there's no case with 2016s, and I think I'd prefer cherry and I really would prefer P90s. It's just not worth, to me, $500 more than the faded. I do like it though. The 490/498T is very nice, but the faded has 490/AY, so not much difference there.
$800 for this:
I want P90s, I want a LP, the fittings on this are just as I like them, the price is good. But, I'm not sure about the black or the finish, and sadly this isn't one I can play, so there's a risk there - probably not much risk; these 2016T 60s tributes are supposed to be really nice.
I'd love a Goldtop though:
$1100 seems too much for this NOS 2013, but it has the faded back and neck that I like aswellas the Godltop. New knobs, tuners, switchtip and poker chip would have this looking eggsackery as I'd want it. And, it comes with 57/57+ which I've never owned before - this guitar sings! But, I don't wanna pay more than $900 for it...
P90 SGs!
NOS 2013 50s tribute for $675, a nice pickguard and some pups and she'd play lovely.
$650 for this 2016 special?
Neither of these two play as nicely as the faded, imho, due to the neck finish, so why would I buy one when I know I'll just play the faded instead? I really love the faded neck; the finish, or lack of, is just lovely!
Amps then?
This could be cool:
For $470 what's not to like? But, I only play at home and I don't need that volume. Clubs here all have amps ready for you, most have a Marshall and a couple of others to choose from. I just don't need it - &, herein lies another problem: sensible decision making! This has never been an issue before, maybe it's an age thing???
Surely some sexy pedals could do the job???
I've wanted one of these for ages, but I'm not sure I want it $190 worth...
How about an acoustic to just jam with friends, take out and about?
$600 Taylor GS mini - what could go wrong?
Meh... I've always liked the idea of an acoustic, but owned 3 and never much played any of them. I like the idea of jamming with friends over a few beers, but whenever I've done it have found it boring...
Maybe I'll just get a case for the SG faded and, oh, I don't know...

e player, I'm kinda moving from the beginner to the intermediate space where time gets lost and life is good. Very very happy at the moment. I will still likely pick up an SG or LP P90, but I'll wait until the right one comes along.
IF I had to chose....today....right now--- THAT would be my pick--- Southern Classic ROCK tones would flow for REAL outta a Marshall and mini hums in a gibson body.........period, hands down
