So guys
First time posting here

I'm studying in Germany under a government scholarship and I've been playing fingerstyle for 7 years with my 800 ringgit washburn

I always dream of having my very own custom Lakewood guitar but it costs a fortune (12000 ringgit in my case , for a M32c custom)

I've been saving money as much as I can and now I am finally able to afford one

Yet I'm now caught in the dilemma , that maybe the money should be spent in other stuffs like buying my first car etc?

So here's the question: have u regretted spending a fortune to upgrade your guitar?

studying in germany

want to buy expensive guitar

how you gonna bring your instrument back dei

If you play guitar once every week or so, don't bother with the splurge. You're better off with a car or a nice 4K tv with PS4 Pro for games and netflix. If you DO play guitar 3-4 times a week, then yes, by all means, buy the damn guitar.

why u asking how? u managed to right

and a very painful reminder why i likely wont do it again

common sense no.. i wouldn't splurge for a guitar that expensive.

but i know how GAS works.. and common sense doesn't apply when that happens.

Lakewood guitars come with a hiscox hard case

With bubble wraps and lots of praying hopefully it will make it through the journey

Yes I play the guitar at least two hours a day when I need to go to lectures , five to six when I'm free

But PS4 pro sounds great too haha

Why what happened ?????

hard cases are not invulnerable , why not you just get the gutiar in msia

air line ask to check in with gig bag, which they never did before

got back, guitar was somewhat fine but a 1mm deep 2 cm gash at the side
