Well, so far you're just planning, that's not too bad.. For a guitar player, it's normal. I already have a good idea of what I want for my next two guitars. I've got a guy in California working on one, but for the other I won't do anything until I have a job and build up my bank account.
When you start buying parts for the next project, then you're in trouble. Especially in your current job and financial situation.
Re: This can't be good...
Not to mention the fact that I'm in desperate need of a new computer (even more so than before).
I own two computers (technically) and I don't have either. My mom has my desktop, and my sister has my laptop. Originally, I had my sister's desktop (it was a switch of convienience, as she didn't have the room for her system in her room). Then, my uncle's computer went wonky, so I (with permission) swapped my sister's with his. It died (it's smaller-than-normal power supply died and none of the extra's I had will fit), and now I'm stuck with a 10 year old IBM Aptiva with a Cyrix 6x86 processor at 133 MHz. I went from having the two best systems in the house (though still inadequate for what I need them for) to having the worst (though, for some reason it runs better than my sister's Celeron 500 that my uncle is now using).
I won't start it until after I get a new computer, which I won't get till after I finish my current project (mainly because my current project will be cheaper than the computer I'm getting so I'll have the money for it first).
Re: This can't be good...
Ouch... New project guitar to start, but not until after getting a new computer, but not until the completion of the old project guitar.
Re: This can't be good...
Yeah, I still have the full 12k to go, but I'm not sure when I'm going to go (I haven't even applied), so it's not my highest priority, at the moment.
Re: This can't be good...
Yikes... IMO, that should be first prioriety. It'll help you make more money later on and you won't have these money problems... of course, with a job you'll have all kinds of other headaches
What school are you planning to attend, and what program? The music school you mentioned a while back? You were doing a luither thing before, right?
btw, I just thought of something... When you finally get this guitar finished, do you have an AMP to play it through?
