2 weeks without a guitar may seem like forever, but it’s like getting an all new guitar back. Try switching out the strings for a different gauge. One solution to buying a 2nd guitar is to look at resale shops. I bought 2 inexpensive guitars that way through Goodwill. You’d have a guitar to fall back on when these things arise. I’d give you one of them if you were nearby. That’s another option is to borrow one from someone or even rent one while your guitar’s in the shop.
