I understand how you feel.

People involved in music have a reason to buy equipment because they use it for recording and live performances.

If only I had a "get-out-of-jail-free card" like that, I could buy the equipment I want without worrying...

It's understandable to feel troubled by such thoughts.

Actually, among guitar enthusiasts in the music industry, including those who work in music stores, there are many "pastime guitarists" who don't engage in musical activities but simply enjoy playing the guitar as a hobby. So I completely understand that feeling.

This is something that's easy to overlook, but in reality, these actions, including purchasing equipment, are done for the sake of playing the guitar as a "hobby," unless you're a professional.

Professional guitarists buy equipment for their "job," but we guitar enthusiasts buy equipment for our "hobby." It's for our hobby, for our own enjoyment. Whether or not we're involved in music activities, or how we use the equipment, doesn't restrict or matter in any way.

Traveling. Collecting watches. Engaging in fan activities. All of these are important hobbies for that person.

 

"What are you going to use that for?" "You don't need it if you're not a professional?"

You don't need to pay any attention to what outsiders say.

"I find happiness in playing this guitar alone."

"thisEffector"I wanted to keep it close at hand."

"Putting this amplifier in my room really boosted my mood."

This alone is more than enough reason for someone who loves musical instruments to pursue it as a hobby.

You can buy any equipment you want without hesitation.

"If I ever get to form a band, I'll buy it."

"I'll buy it if you can release even one song to the world."

I think it's very good to motivate yourself by setting goals,

If you're "looking for a reason to buy" or "trying to alleviate the guilt of buying," then you don't need to endure that.

The price of any guitar is increasing year after year. Limited edition models and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces can become difficult to acquire if you miss the opportunity.

"I wish I had bought it back then."

Aren't there several pieces of equipment that come to mind when you think of that?

The best time to buy is when you want it.

If you absolutely love guitars and equipment, then you already have all the reasons to buy it.

Your irreplaceable hobby is a wonderful thing, full of romance.

Please treat yourself to something that will make you happy right now.

You are the one who best understands your own hobbies.
