My previous rig was the same for over a decade so I dunno. I think we all ever into certain cliches at times. But then that's what makes us human baby!!!

Now that I consider myself spent creatively - 'Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old' as Kurt Said - I'm back into playing guitars for the sake of playing them rather than a means to an end. Improving technique and learning new and harder stuff ytes, but I love the guitar as an object, and the techy/practical side of me enjoys learning the details of how they work, the history of them and in the last couple of years how to make them.
I wrote a thesis on this 15 years ago - the same principal applies here. :-)
I agree with you in principle and trust your thesis wasn't spell-checked )
I just love playing. I also love partscasters. My strat is the best I've ever played, and cost (in total) about £500. Maybe less.
I would like to get gigging, but not many people are very into funk. Perhaps, with this new slew of funky music coming out, it'll pick up a bit.
As an example of A like behaviour: I have said before that if I found a really great early model Fender Esquire and bonded with it.......my oneness with the instrument would include becoming a Country Player. And relocating to Nashville.
But that unspecified discovery will not happen. Because it has already happened.
I have lots of guitars, some of which I have bought for situations into which I would not like to take my "prize" ones, and I drive an old van. Occasionally I buy kit wanting it to make me sound good (wouldn't buy it if I didn't think it would); I keep one guitar on which I am willing to perform mods & experiments, and I have one which is currently unplayable but as & when I get around to it I hope to make it playable.
wis @impmann for his comments on sociology. A mate of mine at uni put it this way "The study of them that don't need to be studied, by them that do"
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
