Know exactly what you mean. I’ve got a few boutique FFs but I keep them stashed away and just play a Dunlop mini, the light blue one. Dunlop totally nailed it with that series. It’s actually been a while since I’ve bought a fuzz pedal. A few years ago I decided to get serious about learning music theory (which I had put off doing for 30+ years) and that has taken some of my attention off of the gear.
I kinda hear you. I have 14 or 15 electric guitars and basses. I lose count because my kids keep taking them.
I really wanted a 12 string. Never had one before. I had my eye on one of those cheap Chinese Harley Bentons on the German Thomanns site but they were always out of stock.
And then I got drunk one night and pulled the trigger on a Ric 660/12 from CME (just like the Harley Benton only 10x the price).
And I'll be damned, that's the only guitar I want to play these days. Everything else collects dust on their stands. I just want to strum my Rickenbacker 12 string.
Funny, too. I've also picked up keys.
My wife founds an old Yamaha 88-key keyboard from the 90s for free on a curb-alert and brought it home.
I totally forgot that I learned piano in elementary school back in the 1970s.
I kinda impressed her a bit when I proceeded to play actual chords!
