The "answer" for many (should be for all) is to determine the sound you want above all else. Once that is attained find the gear that provides that sound in addition to your abilities. Settle on it and for as long as you desire that sound stay with what you have. Fashion and Fancy should never be the criteria by which we buy guitars but sadly it all too often is. I recall being a kid in the 1950's. I would wait for the LIONEL TRAIN CATALOG to come out in October ahead of the Christmas rush. In truth we lived in a three room apartment with a family of four. I can count the times I had my "trains" set up. Maybe once or twice. Most of the time they were boxed and sitting in a corner of the room. But boy...do I fondly remember the time I spent looking at that old, vivid Lionel Train Catalog. Get my drift? Many times the boy never leaves the man. The Pisstoff Musician.
