I'm going to have to side with the 'I'm happy with what I have' camp. I haven't purchased anything substantial in well over a year now. Most of my playing is on the acoustic, and when I grab an electric it's rarely plugged in. I'm still practising a fair amount, but with recent purchases the family has made, as well as putting aside money for the kids education and our eventual retirement... there's not a lot of $$$ left over.

That's a difficult question to answer.
What was "current" when I started writing this isn't "current" now because it's now 5-minutes past "current".
So, am I happy...no was I happy, no will I be....
What is past is history...
What is future does not exist...
What is "current" is for only a fleeting moment...
So, I'll continue to chase the unattainable dream....

I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a semi-hollowbody. I just love the look and sound generally. But I've decided (and told my wife) I won't get anything else until I become a better player.
I'm not sure I'm completely satisfied with my amps. I usually use the VT-30, but whenever I play the Cube 15 I think "What an awesome tone." But the Cube 15 doesn't have any effects. So then, I'd need pedals if I just went with that one. But for now, I don't really need anything else and I don't know what else I would get, other than a Cube 30 or 60. Maybe I just need to try a different speaker in the VT-30.

Hmm. Have you set goals for what this means? I've always said something similar to myself, but I never bothered to set metrics I could measure myself against.

I guess you could say I am more than happy with my gear. I have just about every type of guitar covered. I think though that I have too many guitars and probably 1 or two too many amps. I find I am only playing one or two guitars and I play mainly through my DSL100. I also have a good friend that is also a collector and I can use any of his gear anytime I want. The only thing I don't have is an acoustic and I really don't want one.
I hadn't touched a guitar for over a month and I started playing again and my fingers are blistered.
Just to prove I am happy with my gear, I went on vacation for 2 weeks and never even went close to a music store. That is unbelieveable.

I have no good reason to lust after electric guitars at the moment. I've got to address pickup issues in the semi-hollow, which if done the way I want, will cost as much as decent used guitar.
My two glaring "needs" are a serious amph, and a Rosewood Dread or a Jumbo.
Amph's...i can make plenty of noise, but they are both basically variations of practice amphs, and given that I seldom play out, they more than meet my home playing "needs" (as in, the neighbors, at this point, still speak to me)
Still even at home, I'd rather be playing through a 65 Deluxe reissue...*sigh*
the other is the acoustic, I've got a mahogany Larrivee, GREAT guitar, but it's really a fingerstylists guitar, a little quiet and mellow. For strumming and singalong and booming hammerons...the things that carry in an open mic, I feel it's a bit deficient.
Wouldn't you know, just got a line on a Bourgeois built Rosewood Dread... SERIOUS guitar...SERIOUS cash....but very limited run from 15 years ago...ony 150, hand built, hand voiced by Dana.....GAS of the sort that leaves me sleepless, and dreaming of guitars when I do drift....
so I guess the answer to the question is no.

ARGH! There's metrics again! I work in academics, so I hear plenty about metrics. Anyway, I guess right now I'm just thinking about getting through the two books I have and being able to change cords in less than a measure. And I'm only talking about C,G,D,E kind of stuff.
It's been hard because I'm a sucker for a bargain, and I've decided to pass them up for now. Unless a REALLY good one comes along.
