Conundrum - do I buy a new guitar with whammy bar, camera, or Sol Lewitt artwork?
Advertisements [?]
Or something else?

I have some extra cash from saving up over the year, and I'd love a new guitar with a whammy bar - I have a Strat I'm looking at.

But my old digital camera, a $600 job from year 2000, is a stinking piece of shit - it has served me well, but it's falling apart and doesn't work well and only has what was the maximum at the time I bought it: 2 megapixels. I do take a lot of photos, and so I could use a new one and I would love to have one with the 6, 7, or 8 megapixels that are standard now - but on the other hand, what I really want is an SLR digital camera, and I don't have that money yet: I could continue saving.

But there's some Sol Lewitt artwork going up for auction soon, and I'd almost kill to have one of them.

Or, I could use the money to pay off more on my car, or put it in my portfolio.

Or, I could also give it, or part of it, to my new goddaughter (6 months old) as the beginning of her 529 (I think it's 529) College Fund.

Damn.

Help me, please!

My heart keeps going out for the guitar, but I already have two (one acoustic and one electric) and so don't really need another one, but the electric is a real cheapo one, and to have a Strat - that would be cool! But I also just started learning this year - maybe it's too early for that nice of a guitar?

I don't know.
