The Strange Truth About Why We Keep So Many Guitars

What actually happens inside a guitarist's head when a new guitar comes through the door? You know the feeling. You open the case, pick it up, play a few notes—and suddenly nothing else seems to matter. But here's the strange part: falling in love with a new guitar doesn't necessarily mean falling out of love with the guitars you already own. In this episode of LOVINGS GUITAR, Waldo takes a decidedly unscientific look at guitar obsession, attachment, experimentation, budget guitars, old guitars, new guitars, and the strange relationships we develop with the instruments that become part of our musical lives. Becca is part of the story. So is Lovely Green. And somewhere along the way, the question becomes: Are we replacing guitars—or collecting experiences? Because maybe every guitar we keep represents a different part of who we are, where we've been, and where we're going. And yes... maybe guitarists really are a little bit polygamous.
