A Monthy of Thankfulness - Thankful for my Guitars

I really like playing guitars. I have been blessed to have had some nice guitars and am thankful for what I have now. I started out with an old, classic Ovation. It sounded really nice, but had poor pickups. I 'sold' to it a young girl who was learning guitar. I didn't get anywhere near what it was worth but it went to a good cause. I sold her brother another nice guitar. It was a Martin and had a nice sound also. Anthony was leading worship and needed a better guitar so I sold it to him for a good bargain price too.

Since then I've owned a Taylor which was a nice guitar but not my favorite. Again, I sold it to a young man who was a worship leader. He got a good price too.

Now I have a Larivee (nice sound, good pickups), a Tacoma (my favorite acoustic), a American Made Deluxe Strat and a Epiphone Les Paul (cheap but solid). I have enough to have a backup guitar on stage or an extra for alternate tunings.

I have learned to get over the temptation that makes me want a better and better guitar and I'm content with what I have. They are all solid and sound good. What more to you want? I just wish I could play them up to their potential.

Thank You God for my mistresses (guitars).
