This is my 3rd most faithful companion. This guitar's name is Evelynn. Had it for about 12 years now. It has recorded with me, played live shows with me (solo and with the band), and together we have written many, many songs. I expect to hand it down to a family member someday. When I bought this instrument (new & expensive, the most expensive thing I may have ever purchased) I experienced intense buyer's regret - because it was a better instrument than I was a player. I didn't think I "deserved" it. My wife (my Most Faithful Companion) counseled me against that regret. She said I would use it to make new music in the world, write new songs, be inspired to play a little differently by the caliber of the instrument. She was right. This instrument was definitely above my capability when first purchased but over time my ear and general skill & knowledge gradually improved and this guitar was a big part of that. An instrument that makes you work up to its standards instead of allowing you to just fall back on your own basic recycled expressions is a great thing. It warms us and unlocks our most viable fertility. May everyone be brave enough to accept their Evelynn. It will change your life for the better - remember that when the regret hits. And listen to your wife.
