Where Does the Money Come From?

Unread post by lovemonkeymc » Tue Jul 27, 2004 5:17 pm

I was just wondering, being 23 and working full time, how most of you can afford the guitars that you own? I mean with the past topic about age, most of you are still in high school, so please, enlighten me.

I dont spend anything on cloths. Maybe the only thing I dont buy nowdays. Yea, so I dont spend any money I make. Plus, since I have a base pay plus commission, you can make a shit load that way.

im probably gonna get a 100% scholarship, so ill still probably take out some student loans... maybe ill buy a breedlove.

i think i like breedloves sound more than Taylors, and they just look incredible.. not to mention pinless bridges... hmm... what would i want in a breedlove.

i think breedloves are so awesome... unfortunately they dont have enough variations of body styles... my best bet is a C22 (a deeper body with one of those sharp cutaways) - mmmmm

man... im really tempted. id be even more tempted if i had money
