Diamond and Alligator Guitar: $85,000
Nothing proves to people that you’re not having a midlife crisis like a guitar you can’t play that costs $85,000 and is made out of alligator skin and diamonds. Nobody even has to know you can’t play it.
Just casually say, "I can play it but, come on, would I buy an $85,000 guitar made out of alligator and diamonds if I couldn’t? Seems tacky." Then watch as all your dinner guests nod approvingly.
