Lets face it, this forum is Guitar Geeks Anonamous.

*Stands up*

"Hi, my names MDV and I've been playing guitar for 8 years, but I've been a guitar geek for about 7 years now. I keep trying to lay off the pickups, bridges, tuners, nuts and custom shops and just play, y'know? But it gets so hard at times, and then, just like that, the addiction takes over and I'm buying a guitar because I want to try out a new Bare knuckle!"

Seriously, its great. I dont get guitarists that dont think about things like that.

"What pickups you got?"
"Dunno, just stock"
".............dear god, man, WHY?"

Yeah, you know when you read the occasional interview (usually with some indie type) who says he's not interested in gear?  "It's black, I think it's some kind of Fender, you'd have to ask my tech."

It puts me into a sort of mild panic, I have difficulty accepting what I've read... "What?  He's a guitarist and he doesn't know what he plays?  Cannot compute..."  :non: :non:  :non:

You lot have certainly opened my mind to a few things since I joined up to the church of BKP ... so I now not only have new 'pups but also new electrics, I have discovered my guitar has such a thing as a truss rod _and_ I have tweaked it, and I am seriously considering building my own distorion pedal  :shock:

All in all, been a good year so far really :)

Amen to that.  I'm about 99% gearhead and 1% player.

Well maybe 98%, to be fair...

Ah, if only I had the energy of youth.  :(

Seriously though, you've got the right idea.  Keep it up!

I find that forums get in the way of guitar playing.

I mean, how can they not??

But I find that the improvents in my sound and adapting my gear well to what I want to do with it makes playing much more enjoyable and rewarding. And anyway, I'd rather know about my gear than not, and I'd rather have good gear than not!
