Having played a lot of gigs, taught guitar and school and basically grinding it out seven days a week for my entire life I've been fortunate enough to have the available funds to indulge in my passion which is mostly related to guitars and music. After watching a video about P-90 pickups this morning it all became clear none of this matters much in the big picture. I have learned nobody is impressed with this stuff besides me and the differences in sound are so subtle I literally cannot hear much difference in all these components I've spent my life tinkering with. Maybe I can save you some time, or perhaps you can prove me wrong. In some cases, I do hear a difference or improvement, but it is usually so minuscule as to not be worth the effort. I'm talking about speakers, tubes, cables, picks, pickups, wood selection, tuners and hardware. Pedals could be included to a degree, but maybe we will save that for another day. Yes there are exceptions to my blanket statement, but at the end of the day, playing in tune and in time, writing your own songs, improvising and playing with intent are going to be more satisfying in my opinion. I am extremely lucky to have been able to live this life and I regret none of it, it was fun and I enjoyed it. It is somewhat comedic that my conclusion is none of it mattered in the big picture. I still have a passion for guitars and amps and all things related. It is a fascinating world and I'm going to keep geeking out just the right amount so I can get on with playing. Thanks very much for allowing me to be heard and I wish you the very best with your involvement in music. Music is a top priority for many humans and it is worth pursuing.
I must add a note that I am so lucky to have married a woman who loves rock n roll and allows me to work as a musician without giving me too hard of a time but my hobby has encroached on her life and caused some problems within our marriage. My plan is to sell off a few instruments but as you can imagine it is difficult. However some of the equipment I invested in did increase in value and I was able to cash in a few instruments at certain times and handed her a nice stack of cash when she did not expect it so I am not a totally greedy monster. I do share my instruments with students and friends and am willing to sell them (although I find is literally painful to do so).
I might need therapy.

I have created two guitar books I and would love to send them to you. Each is $20. The first one is titled "Guitar Chords" and has 46 pages of chords and progressions. It's mostly hand drawn. It has been a most useful tool for my private lessons. It's been a popular seller and other guitar teachers are using it. My latest book is titled "Fun things to practice on Guitar that sound cool" featuring 66 pages of scales, arpeggios, riffs, patterns, licks, chord progressions and more. This one is written using Guitar Pro 8 software.
