Your basement smells like cigar tobacco, and you don't even smoke.
When you actually believe building CBGs is a legitimate business.....

When your wife is calling down the stairs for you while dressed provocatively and you brush her off because your almost done with a crucial part in a build......warning: Not for everyone-extreem addiction-please proceed with caution.

#7

When you are seriously thinking about quiting your job building "real $4k guitars" so you to build CBG's for a living. =)

hmmmm... Should I???

You must not be totally addicted if you took the time to look up and see that she was provocatively dressed. lol

#5 when your land lords hot water tank gives out and you ask him what he plans to do with it..

the real conversation: "what are you gonna do with the tank?" "why? what the hell would you do with it?" "Uh... find a way to um..... make .... guitar....." "You have a f---ing problem you know that?" "yeah."

 

he won't give it to me :(

Oh cool, water heaters. On Myth Busters, they plug the holes, fill 'em with water, and boil until they launch themselves high into the air. Pretty cool and dangerous. Best to do outside unless you are trying to destroy your house, too.

#4  when you are reduced to a swiss army knife because you don"t want to stop to sharpen tools.

#3 when you decide to use your own blood to stain the neck when you get cut by that swiss army knife.

#2: When you think using blood as a stain qualifies as recycling.
...when after you've gone through this entire topic and think,  "At least they're not talking about me!", you turn around and count 61 boxes sitting on your shelves waiting for you to build.

This has to be the ultimate:
