How much money has everyone here spent (in their own currency) on guitars and gear that you own right now. You cant count gear that you bought then sold though. After my guitar from Rich arrives, ill have spent about $2100 on gear and guitars. Being a student with a crummy part time job, i think thats pretty good :D

Amps:

i think thats all.. i can't even remember what i still have and what i've sold. i know i still have all this stuff.. so that's what like 8 grand US.. plus add about another 5 grand in stuff i've sold.. several guitars and amps

looking forward to graduating and getting a job so i can get my mark IV and another j custom.. only one more year of college.

I've tried not to think about this, lol. However, every once in a while a wake-up call is good... This is what I currently own:

RG-7620: $700 + $120 for pickups
Fender US Strat $700 + $120 for pickups, $50 for various graphite bits, and $30 for a new pickguard
Squier P-Bass 5-string $200
Martin MC16C-GTE $800

Marshall TSL-100 $1100, plus $100 in tubes
Mesa Rectifier 2x12 $500

Crybaby Wah um... $80, maybe? I don't remember, it was years ago i bought that thing.

and let's say about $100 for miscellaneous stuff- gig bags, slides, tuners, etc.

Yikes. $4600. I've always joked I could buy a car for what I've spent on gear... Eh, i could have, but my tone wouldn't be half this good. ;)

The kicker is, compared to a lot of you guys, this is pretty sparse. ;)

I spent more than I care to remember.

Of course, value and cost are on different ends of the spectrum. All but my Taylor and DNA were bought at/below cost (Taylor was 5% markup I believe, thanks Jeffrey!). I paid half the normal value for my amp. And EVERYTHING I own involved selling something else to get. I can't justify buying something new completely out of pocket as I have way too much junk.

i actually looked over my shoulder when i read the "incriminating for significant other to stumble on" and then laughed really hard!! :D
maybe only 10k, but my guitar equipment wish/want/need list will top me out at 20k not including getting into studio stuff :wink:
