If I take delivery of something like this, I have to have the guitar in pieces immediately... even if we're meant to be doing something else in 20 minutes and I don't really have the right tools to hand at that precise moment...
For me it's more like... I need at least a week off, with absolutely no distractions whatsoever (not even something coming in the post, it'll prey on my mind too much until it arrives). Then I
might do it.
I am quite patient, but that's not the reason. I get interested in buying things, I'll think "
I must have that", but once it's actually in my possession it's there to be used at leisure. And I have a genetic predisposition to procrastination. When I was a kid and I needed my dad to sign a form or something, he would do it at absolutely the last minute - I used to get sent off to university with a blank cheque just in case it turned out the local authority hadn't paid my fees in time.
