Your adventures are an object lesson in how time spent selling a guitar can lead back to buying another. Is the moral of the story that one should never sell a guitar, ever again?

I'll say this, Erithron, you are not a suitor to be brushed off lightly! But it's easy to see why. Your Greta is the very protrait of beauty! First, the Greta is a beautiful canvas to paint on. The sapwood inlays in the arm bevel and the rosette are so inspired and so gorgeous. All of Mark's appointments form a stunning, coherent whole. The red cedar you've chosen for the new top should fit the bill nicely.

And all that inspired prose about GAS? I gave up long ago framing my relationship with it in terms of good vs. evil. Otherwise, I'd feel a lingering sense of guilt with every new acquisition. Why would I want to spoil the fun?
