Day 733 - Day 003

Lifetime Dream # 55 of my list of 155: I will have a collection of the guitar string ends that I have used over the years, showcasing the amount of playing I have done. I will have one decanter filled with electric ends and acoustic string ends. I will etch the glass decanter, and keep them for display in my studio.

 

Many of my Lifetime Dreams are collections of things that basically sum up to an accomplishment. I always wanted some form of collection to show how much I have played on the guitar, and the ends of the guitar strings seemed a fairly logical example. I am absolutely in love with the Fender Super Bullet strings, using both .10 and .11 gauge strings (depending on the guitar). These are specifically designed to fit in the tail piece of the Fender Guitars, but I still love to use them on all my other guitars.

 

While the shot does not capture the size of the decanter, it is a wonderful Pottery Barn glass. It will take quite a lot of playing to fill this up, and at around $5 a pack of Strings, a lot of money too. Not all dreams are cheap or happen overnight, right?
