My money just bought me a new guitar. Some tasty food. I work from home and could live anywhere in the state I'm in and I like my house. -money bought it. It's comfortable and warm -cuz of the heat, which I bought with money.

With time you can build a guitar. Yeah you have to buy wood and tools.

But it's kind of neat to build your own guitar. Money cant buy the feeling of playing on the guitar you build.

Woods and tools are kind of expensive.

But hey, with them you can repair stuff instead of going to Ikea. Your house is probably overpriced. Sell it and get a cheap one in a warmer state. And with the extra money buy tools and wood. I'm waiting here for the pic of the first guitar you handcrafted yourself.

Or you like the feeling of buying stuff better. And that's neat too. Few thing compares to the feel-good rush of buying something new and shinny. We've been taught by ads to feel that way.

1. What tools should I buy to build the humbuckers?

2. My house has risen, significantly, in value since I purchased it. That said, I bought it to live in, not sell for a profit.

3. I live in NC. It's a pretty warm place.

4. I like the feeling of buying well crafted goods that are more durable than that which I could

Make. -no ikea. I'm not a carpenter and I don't want to be a carpenter. It would take lots of time to get good at building custom Les Paul's. I'd rather use that time to get better at building songs with it.

Time -the greatest thing my money buys.

Or work for two hours and use that money to pay for the skills and expertise that other people have perfected over a lifetime. You get a better product and instead of spending 30-40 hours building the guitar you can use those hours learning to play it.
