Upgrading

After many years of using the same, cheap instrument, I think that I need to at least consider looking into getting a new one.  Now, I can't say for certain, this is why I'm going to need to spend some time in music shops, but I think I can hear my guitar starting to break.  Or get out of tune.  Or it just sounds cheap.  I don't really know, so I guess if I can't tell why the new instrument is better than my old one, I really shouldn't bother getting a new one.  I guess that the new one would be shinnier.  In reality I probaly won't bother doing this for a long time.  But I have officially listed it as something that I have a reason for doing.
