When I was a kid, I wanted a bass and an electric guitar so much, and I had to work hard to get the money for them. After 6 months of scrimping, at 17 I was able to buy my Ric. I was 20 before I could save enough to buy my first six string electric--an Ibanez Artist (sold later when I was in dire straights).
Today, I own a Strat, a Tele, a Les Paul, a Hofner violin bass, a Ric 4001, a Jazz Bass, and a Martin HD-28HD vintage reissue, and I consider myself so lucky.
So when I play my Tele today, I'm going to think about how grateful I am to own these wonderful guitars. Barring financial disaster, I'm going to be hanging on to all of these until they pry them from my cold dead fingerooskis.
I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging. Just grateful. If you are guitar poor at the moment, I'm sorry, and I hope the situation improves so that you can have your dream instruments. I know how it feels to want something so much and not being able to have it.
