Off By One
Yesterday's count of guitars that I no longer own was actually off by one. I forgot about the Gibson Les Paul that I owned for several years. The problem was that when I played that guitar it never sounded like *me* playing the guitar; nor did it sound like the guitar was particularly happy about having me play it.
I eventually traded it in for a Godin Multiac Jazz, having been seduced by playing Barry's. That guitar *does* sound like my guitar when I'm playing it, which I have done far too little over the years. But having thought about this and knowing that Gretchen has been looking for an appropriate Christmas present for me, she is going to buy me a small practice amplifier that can sit in my office so that I can plug in the Godin and get reacquainted with it.
And that will be a good thing. :)
