Since 2010, Bonamassa fans have taken advantage of my JB friend discount = my cost + shipping. cool

Interesting article. But no, sorry, I can't agree with the closing statement. I'm too much of a gear nerd. . .

I definitely read it as a playful jab at Joe's self-described (or self-theorized) addiction to guitar safari. He's clearly owning up to it just in the photo used. smile

I think a lot of us have it, though most (like myself) a few orders of magnitude lower severity. :-)

No harm, no foul.

Gear nerds keep the writers of those articles in business... so whatever.
Although the older I get, the more "quality" I'd prefer than "quantity" of guitars...
Right now, I'm quantity on amps, where I used to only have/use one.

Re: Chasing the perfect tone article

The writer says that minimalist gear is good enough for MOST PEOPLE...

Probably true in most instances but HEY, Joe is not "most people"!!!
