Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

They're good stores of value, kinda like a Corvette. With few exceptions, they'll increase in value - especially the special editions.

Also, I've found two instances where someone unknown bought a guitar and everyone assumed it was Joe Bonamassa when it most certainly was not him. I am 100% certain he did not buy those guitars, like it was rumored he did. I found another one where people were certain it was Slash who bought the guitar. No, it was also not Slash in that instance.

(I've been watching a lot of Les Paul related stuff lately.)

I never, ever correct them. I don't own (or buy) guitars to brag about them. Hell, I don't even mention my collection to the vast majority of people. I simply never tell them, even if the subject comes up. I buy guitars because I like them. I also buy some as a way to store value or even to speculate on them - betting that they'll increase in value as time passes. I never expect to sell any of them - but I do enjoy seeing the overall value of my collection increase. That's fun for me. But, no... No, I don't brag about them or even talk that much about them.

Hell, I was talking to a new person who shared this week. We exchanged a ton of messages. I never once brought up my collection, even though I'm sure they'd like to know and be interested in it. Shit, how long did it take me to start sharing numbers and values with you?!? And we've been at it for five fuckin' years.

Most of the guitars you buy, you buy to play. For when you want to replicate a certain sound. Isn't it?

Yup. I buy most everything with the idea that it'll be played. Some of 'em I'll buy only to invest, but even then I'll normally play it at least a little, especially when I first get it.

Yeah maybe those Slash Les Pauls you bought more as an investment that most of the other
