Guitar Gear Forum

Is anyone else relieved when the "Stupid Deal of the Day" is something you truly don't need? I honestly don't need anything, but I want to fill some holes in the gear collection "just because'. Stupid reason? Sure... I damn near bought a low-end Guild acoustic earlier this week because I don't have "campfire" guitar and have always wanted a Guild.

I'm fucked - I'll buy something that is remotely close to a need. It's just a matter of time LOL

Yep. I’m with ya. Glad it’s some shifty mic stands today.

I’ve almost bought some shitty guitars.

I find I'm better off not paying attention to the SDOTD.

I almost gave in and bought one of those $75 acoustics that GFS put up a couple weeks ago. I stopped myself.

Then turned around and bought a mic for multiple times that amount.

You're definitely not alone.
The daily deal website stuff has always been a problem for me.

Back when Woot was a big site I'd check that bitch religiously. Last year I found a daily BJJ gear website and ended up with too much of that gear as well.

I can't tell you how many times I almost pulled the trigger on a G&L ASAT that I don't need over the years from SDOTD.

Nobody needs a G&L ASAT. Stay strong

GAWDDAMMIT LOL
I just got another email with "specials" for some Breedlove acoustic guitars. I don't have one, but I've heard good things. Three of them are $600 or less. I REALLY want a "cheap" acoustic. I have a couple of Taylor's, but they are anything but cheap (e.g. they are "guard with keen awareness" level guitars). I bought a sub-$500 Washburn a few years ago, played it once (it was fantastic), then loaned it to my lead singer/best friend who deserves but can't afford a decent acoustic. It's his at this point. I will never ask for it back. He has 5x my talent and less than 5x the ability to support it. I appreciate the fact that I can jam with and learn from him

I'm 3 minutes away from pulling out the credit card LOL

I suck at willpower this week...
Breedlove Organic Collection Performer Concert Cutaway CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar Bourbon Burst for $599.00 on the way LOL

#CampfireGuitarAcquired LOL

I don't think an acoustic will last that long in a campfire - better to go with a solid body electric.

Have to let us know what you think of it. I've been eyeballing acoustics for a while and have often wondered about the Breedloves due to the amount of hype around them even in the lower price ranges.

You, sir, have a point. To be fair, I was hoping to be near the campfire, not in it. That, of course, depends on how irritated the GF is with my drunken antics at said campfire..

SDOTD is how I got my Breedlove lol..... I had a perfectly good Alvarez and they put the Breedlove that normally went for about $1K for $550 so I jumped on it.... ending up selling the Alvarez after getting it....

I also grabbed one of the ASATs lol....

Nobody jumped in to stop me. You fuckers are responsible for my purchase.

So, That will bring the acoustic collection to four (Taylor 416CE, Taylor 456CE, Gibson J200 Custom Shop) and the new Breedlove. As a campfire guit-fiddle, I'll name her "Kindling"

Ha! Everyone needs a campfire acoustic. Congrats on Kindling!

LOL... "Kindling" will be delivered next week. Then, we'll find out if it is a keeper or, you know, kindling. LOL

Hoping for a Moog synthesiser soon
