I cut it down to two electrics...

Had to let the Edwards LP go to pay some debts down so it got sold last weekend. I actually didn't lose too much dough on it and it wasn't getting played anyways. This is the fewest axes I've ever had since I was in my early 20's. I'm kind of indifferent to non-gigging axes anymore but a blues jam guitar tuned to E standard would be convenient since I hate tuning my gigging axes to E standard. Maybe a PRS SE one day. Until then I have everything I need to get the job done. Just the basics with a couple ES style axes.

I've been thinking about a purge lately myself. I have way too much crap.

A dude yesterday told me he had accumulated over 150 guitars and was trying to get it down to under 100. I can't imagine dealing with that many instruments. Just the space alone required to store them...it'd be like a whole bedroom in a house.

I used to have a box of pickups and of other pedals but I went through it all and sold everything. If it doesn't get used, I don't need it. All I possess for guitar gear now is critical moneymaking items. Mainly redundant stuff in case something breaks. Two ES', two Twin Reverbs, etc. Even my wife sold off a bunch of her guitars. Now if I could just get her to get rid of her guitar strap and boot collection it'd be 100% handled, LOL.

There’s no way you could possibly keep all of those guitars setup properly, intonated, fresh strings etc etc for when you wanted to play them unless you hired a guitar tech to work for you. I have 4 electrics and an acoustic and there’s no way if buy another without getting rid of one.

Well, you’re not playing all of them at the same time, so you don’t have to worry about making sure 150 instruments are all intonated with fresh strings.
As someone with way too many guitars, you rotate. And when one comes out of its case, you do a setup with fresh strings. And you put one away until it comes back out in a year or two lol.

That’s true. I guess for me if something isn’t being used for a year or two, especially a guitar, it’s time to move it on. Otherwise it becomes clutter.

That's more than fair.
