craigb Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 If I was suddenly forced to do things again (while retaining what I know now), I would gather as much money as I could and heavily invest in Microsoft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife will approve any guitar I want to buy, so I don't have that safety net - In other words, I have to control myself. That's the bummer, I have no one else to blame for not getting that beautiful axe The Lester Honey Pie in your link looks beautiful. Too pricey for me though. I hope you get it and it exceeds your expectations. I got my USA made Parker DFs for a little more than $1K US each. I'll probably keep them for as long as they last, and they should last longer than me. One for the gig, and one spare. The only other guitar I have is an acoustic electric. Same for saxes, one gigging sax and one spare. And I buy at my point of diminishing returns. After a while throwing more money doesn't give that much work related value. So I skip the fancy laminates on guitars or engravings on saxes and I go for a good, solid, pro instrument without the extras. But then I have to feed more than one instrument, sax, guitar, flute, wind synthesizer, bass, drums, keyboard synth and a PA system. Although I do OK, it looks like I'll never get rich playing music for a living. But I enjoy my life and if I had to do it over again, I'd choose the same career. Notes That's what I call a rich man,someone who has the freedom to do what he wants,free of to much compromises For me ist's the first time in my life I'm able to save up 2 grand for a guitar .like the Maybach Lester.I played it 2 times and it's one of the best I ever played. The time I made a living as a musician in my live (2years only) as a young man is long ago. There are some good instruments in my studio,like a 87 Strat,a´n Ibanez As 103 , a Dean Evo Tevo aso which all work well,but I never had the possibility to get an instrument that makes me feel like it's a body part.The Lester is doing that for me. I know well where you are talking about when you describe the financial responsibility for the structure of a family. Great that you go this way. I wish you and your family all the best .
