I've been playing since I was 9. So far I've managed to accumulate 4 basses and 6 guitars. I'd love to sell some stuff off as I'm trying to finance a new "acquisition" :doh: So far I've sold my RG7620 for a relatively decent price.:D

I am in the +26 as well. But in my defense I have sold over 50 in the last 3 years. I'll be down to about 15 before the year is out. :)

About 5 nice ones left. But I still have a bunch of midline stuff that isn't even worth selling. I need to go through them and just start donating them to someone.
 
7. I don't collect. I play.

Nothing against people that do, I just can't be bothered with all the hassle of owning 50 guitars. I HATE changing strings.
 
I'm down to 2 at the moment, main gigging Charvel and a back-up Charvel :). Will have to add an LP and another super strat type in the near future. Plus I need an acoustic or an electroacoustic, or may be a Stratacoustic would do the trick.

The most I had about 3 years ago was five guitars and a bass. I found I played only a few of them and the others, well you could say I cashed in on the cheapos when I let them go :D .
 
Currently in use:
ESP SV Standard in black with wht pinstripes
ESP SV Standard in white with blk pinstripes (facelift model)
ESP MII in Urban Camo
Jackson Stealth XL in Transparent Amber
Ibanez RG2570z
Gibson Les Paul Custom in Black (currently in for headstock repair)
Aria Pro II 4 string bass
Jackson KB1 Kelly 4 string bass

Retired (old with problems, needs fretwork/hardware replacements)
Kramer Vanguard in Nuclear Yellow
BC Rich Warlock in Black (one of the last Japanese BC Riches)

On order:
Jackson KV2 Custom
Jackson RR1 7-string Custom

To buy this year:
A decent 7 string, possibly one of the new Jacksons
A decent 5 string bass

This.

In my day to day life I am able to keep max. 3 out of 6 Guitars in a good playable state. I would love to have some additional "guitar flavours", but reality is I won't play more then 2-3 guitars on a regular basis.
 
Went from 21 down to 8. Looking to pick up a Bass, another acoustic, and a Fender EVH Stealth HT.
 
I have 4 playable electric, 1 in pieces, 1 acoustic. However, 1 electric is my 1st, an Ibanez cheapie that hangs on the wall, 2 I played and a recent Ernie Ball SS that gets all the playing time now as it covers all the bases. Looks like I'll be selling something soon!
Cheers,
 
I could never imagine owning any more than 10 myself. I currently have 2 and looking for a 3rd and 4th but wow... 100's? :confused:

Oh the joys of being a college student...

Man your avatar sure puts a dent in my schedule.
 
3 at moment. 2 Music Man L3's and an American standard tele. I have probably bought, sold, traded 30 guitars over past 10 years but that would be for another thread....
 
I have 13 viable, giggable guitars. I often think about trying to sell a few, but I can think of reasons why each one simply cannot go.
 
I have 11 that I own plus a Gibson V that is my brother's so sorta 12, but that's including my first guitar a MIM squier, a cheapo nylon string and a bass. I don't feel like nearly such a hoarder after seeing what fiends most of you are though lol :D
 
Only at 4 now but will expand a bit more shortly:
Ibanez RRG4 J-Custom
Ibanez Purple J Custom
Ibanez Jem FP2
Squire Precision bass

sold 70V Seafoam green. Premium stuff is crap after my last experience.
had Premium Green dot 7 but returned it....defective product. Done with that nonsense.

on order: Ibanez RG Prestige 2627ZE 7 with EMGs
on order: Ibanez JS2410

After that, I'm done for quite some time!

:)
 
I had to select the bottom option in the poll.
 
I'm back down to about 24, and I've sold probably about 100.
 
My addiction is with guitar amps so I only have two guitars and a bass.There a few guitars I plan on getting though.
