You didn't my friend! What you did was make me wonder if
others got that same message from what I'd written.
I also thought maybe the car reference was the reason.
The reason I did mention buying an automobile or Harley for that matter
is that compulsive buying is not a good thing in my opinion and getting wowed
we might agree can be exactly the same thing as compulsive buying.
When we start thinking big money, such as a car, the stakes are raised and easily
to understand wow being put on the side plate.
Well to many 5 g's for a guitar is no different. I believe when one looks at a purchase
for anything for an amount that is considered to them to be a major investment...you
better have that wow factor under control...but just my opinion.
Although I don't believe that Bub was considering a guitar that would cost 5 g's I really
didn't know. Just because he mentioned playing one that I would consider a major purchase I believe he was locked in to Martin in a relative low cost range...wow may be
no problem.
Another thing about "wow"....Mike mentioned a guitar for a couple of hundred that wowed him and we've been referring to guitars that strike us for the feel and sound.
I can understand me being wowed for other reasons....imagine finding a '63 Harmony with
the pickups still working and in great condition but the guitar is trashed....I could buy it
for the pup wow!
All is good I hope myolpal...I may have expanded the field to far because of my interest and
I do apologize if I have.
One more thing....I believe others like you and I that have been holding them for so many
years can pick one up and even though it may not be in great shape we can still have a
blast playing it and enjoying how it effects the licks and feel of our playing...that in itself
is a fantastic wow LOL.
It was very late win I posted...not an excuse if I seemed "on the spot"...but a factor.

The formatting is not mine...don't know why it's like it is and really not my problem to deal with.
