I'll take it.
Congrats Toby.
My brother and I give each other congratulations on NGD'S and condolences on SGD'S (sold guitar days). Usually a NGD will ease the pain of a SGD.

LOVE your playing Toby. I'm remembering that classic song, "Give Me The Simple Life." First heard it in a Steve Martin movie.

Just the bare essentials now. Feels good. Traveling light.

I'm on my 23rd living address so that was a logical reason to lighten the load. The funny thing is that I have no desire to beef up again.

I suspect that a lot of us baby boomers are thinking of "thinning the herd"

If not present already, I predict a glut of high quality instruments awaiting a far smaller population of younger musicians.
Sold all of them right here on the AGF. Can't find better customers anywhere.

Congrats to Toby, regardless. May you never again own more. Unless....
All of my friends that are pros own that number and more.

Now THAT will be hard to resist, seeing all those upcoming bargins out there, but then again... if Paul McCartney only has 2 acoustics, then what am I thinking about? I don't sell out 50,000 seat arenas.

So that's the end of the `guitar of the month` on your members page.

Well done Toby.
