The other odd duck in this is spending habits.
I don't ever watch TV and do not have cable or dish, and have not paid for that as most folks do for many many years. So I figure 10 years of not paying cable which seems to run about $80 a month...........well after 10 years you bought yourself a nice almost $10k jazz box. I know some generally average guys who own nice guitars.

For folks commenting on the costs of these instruments, let me just say that they’re just not as high as people think. Used Halfling’s come up periodically for around 5k and even the Testadura MK just had one come available for $8k (look at this beauty Tom Ribbecke Testadura MK — Zen Guitar Trading).
Anyway, that means I should be able to replace all 3 for less than $20k. Is that a lot of bread for guitars? Depends on your life priorities and needs, right? I bought a new car 6 years ago for $35k and wheres that today? I’m, 5k trade in value, that’s where. These guitars will serve for a lifetime, and someone else’s too if they’re cared for.
