Sad that i sold my expensive guitar and my past drug habit

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

I felt like playing the guitar the other day so i grabbed my old cheap acoustic guitar and realised just how much i loved playing guitar. My mind was instantly brought to the moment i sold my expensive Ibanez guitar and big amplifier. One day i was broke and snapped, i sold my 500+ euro set for 200 euro. Funny that within a month that money was gone too.

I'm 19 and had been a major pothead since i was 16 spending about 20 euros every two days for 3 years straight. Before those 3 years i did not work alot so i had no money to spend, during those 3 years i worked alot and everything went up in smoke. Now i have been clean for 6 months and i can finally look at money as something else than weedmoney. But this immense wave of sadness is coming over me. I had this magnificent guitar and very expensive amplifier and i.. just sold it.

At the same time i feel very encouraged and motivated. If i find a job and work hard i might be able to afford a new set within months, plus i can use money for everything, things like clothing and things i like. I'm glad i got this addiction over with but i feel happy at the idea that with a little work i can restore what i have done. I might even be able to buy a good Electric Piano as well.

Well, it sounds like you're on the road to recovery. Keep up the good work. You're only 19 so you have lots of time to get a new guitar, amp and even that EP you crave. It's a shame that, at my age, I have 12 guitars, 1 bass, a melodica, a violin, and an electric piano but I mostly play the electric piano if I do play. Most of the time I write fiction. That's how special interests work, I guess.

Hey redrobin, let me ask you. I've got this keyboard I got at Kohl's on sale about 5 years ago. It's pretty nice for store bough, sustain pedal and all and a nice stand. But now the middle C key won't play, it just makes an electric buzz. Is there a quick and easy way to fix it or should I get it fixed? Or is it not worth it?

I guess so Redrobin, it's just so sad. I had everything and it was perfect. I did not say the right value though the guitar was 390 euro and amplifier was 250 euro. 640 euro can be earned with two months part time work i guess.

Again_With_This, i'm not a electric piano specialist but i know i wouldn't buy a new piano because of a messed up key. I would try to get it fixed. Normally if i were you i'd post on piano forums and then ask for help at a piano store
