Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Guitars, I’ve got 2 gibsons, 2 martins, a taylor and a gretsch. Ive got a couple cheaper Epiphone guitars also and some ukes and a mandolin, I really like collecting them, most tend to hold their value as well. Can’t see me buying anything new for a while though but I get a lot of use out of them and the quality of a better guitar is very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphones play well and are more than suitable for a practice guitar but start sticking it thru any big venue sound system and the difference between them and a Gibson becomes clear. 6 months hard gigging and an Epiphone's electrics are knackered, Gibsons go on and on, also the lacquer finish is sublime compared to the budget guiyar varnish finish.

Yep, Epiphones are still great guitars but you can’t beat the better wood and components in decent handmade guitars. I mostly gigged my Gibson and Martin 6 string and they stood up well to the abuse and still look and play brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Gigged extensively in my earlier days with an epiphone and a budget PRS basically dictated by my skint studenty ways. Now I have a decent job and rake in enough to get decent guitars I barely play any more so no justification to splash out on a really nice one!

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 15 hours ago, The OP said: Always assumed a Rolex, these days, is the same as a montblanc pen or louboutin shoes. That there’s really no justification for the price tag other than other wankers know it costs a lot of money. Willing to be corrected by a master watchmaker telling me a £300 one is not as good though, as I don’t really know enough about it. I’m on pie and bovril though, so being ignorant didn’t stop me calling people wankers. They are all hand made, takes a year to build one using the finest materials, and will also last forever if you look after it properly. Thank you.

D.A.F.C Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I tend to buy more expensive clothes as they last longer. Would shop all the time in marks if I could afford it. Other than that I'm pretty careful with money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Quartz watches are made quickly and keep better time than a Rolex. I dunno if they will last forever but you could buy replacements until humans become extinct, evolve to no longer have arms or transcend time and space. Plus looking after a “nice” watch involves spending a fuckload on servicing. I’m not actually that averse to a nice watch but in the days of quartz watches I do think, unless you’re the horological equivalent of a trainspotter, it’s a bit “look at the shiny shiny”. In saying this, maybe I’m just transferring my current bitterness at having to buy an expensive engagement ring which is kind of like the female equivalent except worse.
