The 10 Guitar Lies We Tell Ourselves

Baxter and Jonathan give you teen excuses and lies you can tell your self next time you want that new guitar!

[@davidfoust]

I have been guilty of using this one: "I need another one for different tunings" 😅

[@Bob_at_OZDiggzguitars]

Bingo! one in Standard, one half step down, one whole step down, one in drop D, one in drop Db, one in drop C, OPEN E, open A, Baratone in B, Baratone in low A, Bass VI, etc, etc...and NOW i need a backup for each one!...now, dare I start on FX and amps?

If i hadn't spent all my money on dirt pedals maybe I could afford those memory pills made out of Jelly Fish. A creature that doesn't have a brain. Either way it was a pain to tour with all of those guitars and then they got robbed ,,,,, So.

I'm the opposite: everything's tuned the same, but now I "need" a 5-string bass for the extended range.

[@charlesrense5199]

That reminds me, I don't have a left-handed guitar. What if I wake up one morning left-handed? I'd be screwed!

[@Aaron-ot3uv]

It’s better to have the left handed guitar and not need it than it is to need the left handed guitar and not have it.

[@johnbriggs3916]

Paul McCartney only switched to left-handed setup when he became the bass player.

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

Hahahaha

[@vicenzor9699]

I've thought about it and if I was born left handed I would save just learned playing regular guitars. When you first pick it up it feels like a foreign object anyway so get used to a regular one from the jump and should be good to go.

Took it back to the hotel with me and of course took it apart and found the neck date is 5-61, her birth month and year!!!! She was delighted when I showed it to her!!!! And it was a great investment!!!

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

I quit drinking three years ago. After I had been sober for six months I bought myself a Strat. I used the excuse “I would have spent more than this on alcohol if I was still drinking”

[@99springhouse]

Good on you, I quit smoking and this is how I got my Fender American Road House Strat. The little book that came with the “quit smoking drug” said among other things that after a year off the sticks reward yourself. A year to the day I took my Strat off the hanger and got it rung up (I was working in a guitar shop at the time). Stopping drinking is a much greater accomplishment, so I think you deserve about another couple of guitars! Keep it up!

But buy or order it on my birthday, Christmas, or our anniversary and have it come from her.

If you are young and/or have 20-50 years to wait the investment excuse is still a possibility. I was in Gruhn Guitars in Nashville a few years back, and a kid came in carrying an old Telecaster like it was a hunk of wood. He said he wanted to buy a case for it for his dad's birthday, and brought it in to make sure it would fit. Mr. Gruhn said he would include an appraisal if he bought a case from him. They went upstairs for several minutes, and the kid came down with a huge smile, and was carrying the Telecaster a lot more carefully. I talked to him after the appraisal, and he had no idea how much it was worth. He said his dad bought it for about $200 back when he was in high school. I think I remember him saying it appraised for over $15K.

1. Guitars for "hypothetical" situations like a perfect P bass with flats so you get the audition over another bassist who is otherwise perfect but doesn't have that bass. I'd add that everyone in my area says you need a dreadnought and cite Bluegrass as the reason. There is ZERO Bluegrass for several hours in any given direction. 2. You already have one but ________ brand released a limited (of a thousand) in a limited color with a matching headstock. 3. Something that you'd gig but you can't replace. I once bought a really nice dreadnought by a luthier. The Brazilian rosewood had repaired cracks, so I got an amazing deal. After the luthier passed away, I realized gigging could be a really bad idea in the sense I could never replace it.

[@BrianBrazilHarmonica]

After not having any guitars for 12 years I decided to buy a Les Paul Junior last year. Afterwards I told my girl friend that the bridge was too rough on my picking hand because the saddles were too sharp and weren't rounded enough and it was too heavy. So I bought a Squier 60's Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom. I had it in the closet for a couple of days and a good friend gifted me a 72 Thin Line Telecaster that was in parts. So I had a local guitar tech rebuild it for me. Then I let her know I had the other telecaster a few days before. She flipped out, so I told he I would sell the Les Paul Junior. I later discovered I had a problem playing the Telecasters due to my forearm and upper arm getting cramped from playing them. So I bought an Epiphone ES 339 thinking it would solve the problem and it did. However the problem of weight reemerged. It was over 8 pounds. I did more research and found a Sterling by Music Man Albert Lee HH model. It was light, has body contours on the front and back for comfortable playing, a smaller body but with the same string scale as most Fender models. The good news is I've only sold the Les Paul Junior and Squier 60's Telecaster custom. I've kept the 72 Thin Line Telecaster, Epiphone ES339 and the Albert Lee HH. Out of 5 guitars I've bought in the past 1 1/2 years I've been able to keep 3. I seem to have been able to adapt to them all and use them for different kinds of music and playing styles.

[@steved2870]

Took a huge risk bought unseen online. Got extremely lucky on this occasion yet Before I got it home I was online looking for another guitar. My wife and a friend both gave me the wtf did you buy another one for look. Simple answer was why do you too have 20 pairs of shoes and one set of feet, by the way they don’t make music, nor does anyone other than your own counter parts care less as long as your feet are covered. You wear them out twice and then throw or give them away. My guitars last a lifetime. Now grab one of the twenty pairs and go for nice relaxing walk so I can play my guitar. After you’ve straightened your hair with that $500 curly iron thingy of course, and a little make up and some sports wear, oh and your heart monitor watch.

"It's my last one" Why did you guys have to call me out like that?!

[@dougs6433]

When I was putting together specs for my Suhr custom shop my wife looked over my shoulder and saw a pic of one with a koa body and pau ferro neck which is what I wanted but figured the price increase was outrageous. She said she thought it was pretty and to go for it. I married the right woman.

You guys are right on with these. My wife and I are laughing our butts off. She’s a vocalist. Just received a LesPaul goldtop with P90. Lol. Going on 14 guitars…Lol

I want the same guitar!!! I may use the „birthyear „ strategy 😂

[@between2guitars331]

I quit drinking during the pandemic (7/23/2020) and started playing guitar. I also own a Gibson Les Paul, sg and j45. Guitar is the major part of my recovery, and getting a new flying V, and later a new strat, will be a msjor part of that.

I need a second one to keep in a different tuning... (different string gauges, etc.)

[@EddieLeeFunn]

Shenanigans... that's why I'm here!

Man I want a birth year guitar but 1985 is funky! Transition factory year for fender, so they’re hard to find. Tons of weird bridges and pointy shredder stuff, 3 piece tops on the les pauls. All of it quickly going up in price.
