Getting a new guitar is great. But, it doens't hold a candle to reaching for one that you've owned for 20 years, know inside and out, and can tell the story of every scratch and ding on the body.
Couldn't agree more. I know some folks have gotten a kick over way more NGD's like they were baseball trading cards, but that just comes across as relatively hollow and short-lived compared to utilizing some instruments that have served you well over the years, and better yet ones you have sentimental value associated with.
The only acquisitions I'd really consider bothering with anymore are instruments that were on my bucket list that are great if they finally come around. (ie- discontinued model I've wanted for ages, but usually harder to come by)
