Pretty much but since the weekend the GAS has subsided a bit, I no longer want a new guitar, in fact after trying out that Epiphone (and looked at a few others in the shop) I realised what a selection I have and I actually appreciate them more since. Even that Roadworn seems like a step above most of the ones in the store.
I like odd shaped guitars: had a couple of Vs, still have an 80s Washburn A20V and a 70s doublecut, still have my daughter's Dean Baby Z, had a Godin Radiator, a Switch, a First Act Lola, 70's El Maya. There's a lot of guitars out there, but not *that* many great ones and even those from good brands like Gibson, PRS, Fender, Heritage etc aren't always special. So I loved the idea of a Gibson V, but the one I had *felt* like a budget Chinese built guitar and had some odd overtones that I couldn't get rid of - the Dean V (£75 on Ebay) was a much better player and sounded far better after a pickup swap. Owned a Heritage H150 for a decade, but nothing I did ever made it sound like the Les paul I wanted & I traded it after acquiring a Japanese-market-only Love Rock '59 replica that WAS the Les Paul I wanted.
I find it hard buying guitars because my eyes want to make the selection, rather than leaving it up to the hands and ears.
Anyway, Sigma 12-24 has arrived.
