Totally get that. Mom can be the same. But you resisted. Parents can't help but do that though.

Proud of your restraint.
But if I find one in the color orange for the same price I’m buying it on the spot.
But nah, after asking ynwtf about it, I think I am going to wait.

So far I have resisted. So far.

Part of me wants a Tele just to have one, but then the reasonable part of me is saying "WTH do you need another guitar when you can barely play what ya got?"

That might have something to do with it. Maybe there's also the matter of how a PM is guaranteed to get someone's attention more so than bumping a thread (and a new user would not necessarily know that you can do that by quoting/mentioning a user in a post, which I'm not sure that any other forums do).
