please dont buy me a vintage guitar

a shop in bath that sells vintage guitars

some of these guitars are absolutely beautiful. i can imagine they have great tone and feel really superb to play.

but imagine taking one out gigging. even playing it at home - accidental knocking it against something and chipping the wood, breaking a string or some other minor accident.

with a new guitar you know that if you completely destroy it, you can still buy the very same model from any guitar shop. with a vintage strat from the 60s though - they dont make them anymore.

i made a decision yesterday that i will not buy myself a vintage guitar until i am so rich that i can afford to find and buy another one from a secret auction or something. otherwise i would be too scared to even touch it.
