Fell off the NGD wagon, hard.....

So I've been trying to cut back, offloaded a dozen guitars in the last two months.  The instances of me sneaking guitars into the house under the cover of darkness have been substantially reduced.  The mailman is pretty sure I've died or left the country.

Then, on Tuesday, there's a message about a clearance sale at my favourite guitar haunt.  They've brought in all the used gear from every store in Western Canada and they are blowing it out.

I am a weak man. 

It was insane.  I don't remember what exactly happened, cause it was a junkie fest like I have never seen.  People running out of arms to carry things.  Cars getting towed with owners standing in line watching saying "Meh, the tow bill's still going to be less than what I saved."  I'm pretty sure I had a fairly carnal experience.

When it was over (it only took four minutes, I'm a quick high), I walked out with....

A brand new Fender Cabronita

A Fender Jerry Donahue Telecaster

A brand new quilt top EVH Wolfgang

A 2012 metal flake Gibson Les Paul


So much for my sobriety.  Pictures when I get home.
The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Jesus Christ.

Sold 12, bought 4. Still not too bad I guess ;)

I feel like I have slipped back into GAS addiction when I buy a new pedal!

I wanna see some pics of the new haul.

Four minutes!?

It was grab and go.  Some dude was humming and hawing on the JD, I grabbed a 4X12 cab, stood on it and grabbed it over him.  Prison yard rules apply.

Exactly.  How do you pass up a brand new Cabronita for $199?

I wouldn't have passed on that either, regardless of need.

I saw a couple of Ibanez headstocks being used as weapons, that's pretty close to getting shanked.....

Right. You can't! Everybody at home will agree.
