Guitars are our friends!

I love guitars! I always have. As a matter of fact, I've always wanted to be a lead guitar player, even when I was a little kid. I even stood in front of the full length mirror in the hallway and played air guitar, much like I do now with my little girl, who plays an awesome air guitar, tongue-wag and all! She's way better than I was at 8, I didn't start singing on a regular basis until I was in my early 30's, but daydreamed about being a lead guitar player forever, and still do. At one time I owned about 9 guitars, now I have 6. 2 acoustic, 4 electric, and 1 bass. All of them are special for different reasons. 1 acoustic I got from a friend up in Tacoma Washington back in 83' is special because it was the first guitar I ever wrote a song on . It has seen many, many tears over the years, plays great, but is not one that I ever play in public with. I bought a great acoustic from a guy on ebay, that sounds great, looks good, and plays well. I have 1 electric that an ex-girlfriend gave me. It plays wonderfully, but it hurts to play, because the friendship ended on a very sad note. I have a Paul Reed Smith electric, plays great, sounds great, feels great, looks great, a real classy American-made guitar, but I'm scared to take it out, because I paid alot of money for it, and I don't wanna scratch it. I know, that's goofy, but that's me. When I had a band a few years ago, I used to love to line up several guitars behind where I stood to sing, not because I used them that often, but I just thought it looked more rock n roll to have them up there. I'm going to sell a couple that I don't use anymore, 1 I bought cause it was old and quirky, and the other I bought cause it looked good, but sounds like a shoe box with strings on it.
