A lot of what I have I bought because I can. (And a lot of people can't. My way of saying I have arrived to the financial party. Finally.) Once I finish the project guitar I will have 8 guitars. And I only USED to be a guitar player. My hands are so bad I can barely finger the neck or hold a pick.

The band I was in played 3 times in 2019 to get video to make a promo and we barely had any work to be canceled for Covid concerns. I am still on the fence about continuing. It gets to a point where the reward falls short of the work it takes to get ready by a fairly large margin. And that doesn't even get into the health concerns about 10 people crowding into a little rehearsal space. We have a March date at a 2200 seat venue, but I doubt it will happen. With current seating restriction they can only put about 500 in there and that won't pay the 2 bands. And if they DO put 2200 in there, that is 2200 people who may carry Covid into the place with them. Not so sure I am willing to risk it for any amount of money.

My prized instrument now is my Nord. It just sounds so good! The other boards are 30 year old Ensoniq boards that I still have from back then, and they still sound great, AND don't take an advanced degree in engineering to use like the Motif I bought and quickly returned. That was nuts. I know somebody who has one and he simply can't make changes on the fly because of all the mode changes, page changes, splits, stacks and layers.... way too complex for me.
