Have you guys ever added up the value of your gear?

RaymondLin

I did today, bad idea.

It really put a lid on the GAS somewhat !

Hertz32

RRP or what I paid?

IvisonGuitars

What you paid.

A rough idea on the current stuff, no idea on total spend of equipment and guitars I've bought, traded etc..

If I think of all the money I wasted doing up cars or wasted in other ways in years gone by etc.. having money tied up in guitars is no bad thing

Hertz32

Hm! Its less than what some people pay for a single CS instrument so I'll keep GASSing

Can't remember how much I paid for a lot of it, but I know the insurance value.

It's in 5 figures, and that terrifies me.

No, I'm not telling any of you lot where I live.

So I totted it up...

Roughly £8k for current gear!!

What I own now, is incredibly little in cost new. Main slide guitar, amp and Zoom G3X is less than a grand retail. And my main tele is worth sod all, as its bits of this and that. Even the neck was made especially for me as a gift.

That's what happens when ye go 'vintage' mate  

Yes I have, and given that most of it is at the mercy of a 3yr old, 7yr old, and an 11yr old (not to mention the Mrs), it's no fucking wonder I drink.

£150 amp and a £200 guitar, some homemade IEM system which cost about £40 to build and that's it And I gig for a living !

I've had some more expensive gear in the past though

I do every so often and then balance that by working out how I funded it  - mainly from online sales of music related items. Then I don't feel any remorse whatsoever - just as it should be!

My total is less than a grand including the amp I haven't bought yet.

In terms of what I paid, I daren't.

In terms of residuals, looking at the state of most of it, I'd say I'm into the scrap value end of the depreciation curve.

Given that most was bought used, I'm only glad that I'm not in charge of a hedge fund. Or a hedgehog for that matter.

Not until I saw this thread, I haven't finished adding it all up yet, and I've almost burst into tears twice.  Simply put I'll never be rich.

I do not want to know...

Don't worry about us knowing where you live, it's the thieving wankbadgers you don't want to know

Fuzzdog

About £2000 for absolutely everything musical that I own at the moment, which is reasonable, I think.

Was definitely in five figures at one point a few years ago.  Not doing that again. :-O

Yes, for the insurance premium. The really sad thing is that helps with wife "keep tabs". It's way more than is sane. It's also doubled since I joined theFB... although one guitar takes up the bulk of that.
