Woah, we've got a guy with a steady income here! Gibsons absolutely make my mouth water.. Nearly all my dream guitars are some iteration of a Gibson. Maybe once I make it big! I'm going to try to get a nice summer job at a local bike shop, or maybe a small hardware store, either of which should be enough to allow me to reward myself! That is, assuming I decide to splurge instead of responsibly investing the money. Have you ever seen a White Burst Les Paul? Oh man.
I used to have a Les Paul Studio Cherry Sunburst that I saved up for and bought just prior to college. Once in school I faced the age old dilemma "pay rent" or "move back home". I sold my guitar and my Fender Super Reverb amp and was able to stay in Montana. I really wish I still had them. Later, I bought a Fender Highway 1 Tele and I've always wished I went Gibson instead.
