Good for you, Bernie. You never really left, though. You were smart enough to keep the KN7000.

I now have two 7000's and a 2600. At my age they should last longer than me.

There is no reason for me to buy new. The 7000 does everything I want or need, and does it well. So, I bought a couple of guitars. That will satisfy the need for a new toy every now and then.
