GAS diagnosis

Greetings friends and neighbors. Spring is here in the mountains of western NC and I have recently been diagnosed with a severe case of GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome) and it seems the only cure involves the sale of one of my motorcycles. My 04 R1100 SA with just shy of 33,000 miles is for your consideration on the For Sale thread. I hope everyone is well and content in this wonderful country of ours.

I have the same problem but I am not selling my S. Looking to acquire a left-handed american standard Strat.
What are you looking at for GAS?

that must be a hell of a guitar to sell that bike, I hope it's not a new Taylor

a vintage Martin would be worth it though!

Dan, I've got a few. Maybe we could work a trade. I need a parts bike. When I ride up there to Linville, are you going to be sitting on the front porch playing "Dueling Banjoes."

Dan I say keep the S and borrow the guitar that you played in Cruso. I`ll buy the beer...you are a cheap date, I think you only drank one of my beers......wait, maybe it was my cheap beer. lol Anyway the bike is nice. You ride bikes and play the guitar very well.

Be safe,
Lane

What he said, but I didn't have cheap beer, and would have been happy to give you a suds upgrade.


You looks comfortable on the S for sure, but the "trumpet" fits the musical theme better than the "donkey"

Nothing wrong with a Taylor, Jeff. It depends of the type of music you play. But, you already knew that.

Thank you Lane and PFFOG. It was really good to ride with you and spend some time with you the other day. Hope we can do it again soon.
