How much money do you have invested in guitars?

Thankfully only about $200 so far. My goal is to make back every dollar I spend eventually.

Just curious how much money most players have invested
in their guitar(s). Seems like I'm slowly investing more and
more! :shock:

Probably about $2000 or so in guitars and equipment

A few hundred in books etc.

and about $6000 in picks :lol:

HA-HA-HA-HA you can't be serious. Are you trying to depress me?

You may want to post what you have invested and how much you have sold. Maybe you will break even... Ha Ha

That's right about what I have ($1900).

I couldn't even being to think of the amount of money I've spend every years let alone since I started my Quest. Guitarist like myself that have been playing and collecting guitars for forty some years. It's an investment, speaking for myself I spend whatever I need to get whatever I want.

Id say around 3,000...2300 or so of that is my current guitar and amp...and the rest, god knows...my old squire, my old robelli, my old amp..

JoeThats a good point I was not counting what I have had over the years only what I have now.

Just guitars.... probably around $1400.... including amps, stands, foot pedals, etc.... probably around $2000

So far....... :-)

Guitars I own now?

More than $10,000 US

I don't want to count any higher than that.

Everyone note:

After this post

"HA-HA-HA-HA you can't be serious. Are you trying to depress me?"

He came back, after counting his guitars and told us the cost... This was 5 hours later... Again, this was FIVE hours later.

After 3 years I've only spent $645.24 in total.
(I keep my guitar receipts and junk in a shoe box....yeah, i'm weird :oops: )

I guess around $3,700 for the guitars and amps I still have, $500 or so for accessories (picks, capos, cables, straps, tuner, multi-effects pedal, GuitarPort), hundreds for books, magazines, software and videos. I've also sold two guitars and given one to my nephew that cost another $500 plus combined, but I got back around $400 from the sales.

To paraphrase the credit card commercials:

1997 Fender Stratocaster Plus -- $650
2003 Guild D50CE -- $1,000
1996 Gibson Les Paul -- $600
1997 Taylor 420R Limited -- $900
Peavey Classic 20 Amp -- $175
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Amp -- $400
Toys to go with the guitars -- $500
Jamming with friends -- PRICELESS

One way to look at it is that I could have spent $5,000 on a cheap (very cheap) boat, used it a few times a year instead of every day, burned hundreds of dollars worth of gas and sold it in a few years for less than half of what I paid for it. With the guitars and amps, I'd wager that I could sell them for at least 75% of what I paid for them years from now, and maybe more. If you buy right, playing guitar is not that expensive a hobby in the long run.

Too much.....and yet strangly, not enough!

All in all, about $3000 and I have my eyes on a few others. :shock:

People just have to realize, we're not strange.....They are!!!
