Why do you have so many guitars?

[Kraku]

Do you actually use them regularly?
Do you only use few of them and simply admire the look of the rest of them?
Something else: what?

Why is it any of your business....are you my mom?

My cousin was asking me the other day why I have so many amps, so many guitars, etc. If you're not a guitar player, you wouldn't understand is basically what I told him.

If you call 2 “so many”…

I am down to 7 and looking to whittle that down to 4. I have the first 3 that I am keeping and the 4th spot is still up in the air. Only keepers are going to be staying around. Gear hasn't been moving around here all that much so the 4th spot is on hold until I sell at least 2 guitars.

Because they’re fun.

I rotate them to keep things fresh.

And the proper number of guitars is n + 1 where n is your current number

I have 5 Les Paul’s and one Super Strat.

I’m looking to get a 7 string and another SS which would put me at 7 guitars.

Who do I have so many? Because many of them are worth a lot of coin and I would rather keep them and eventually hand them down as heirlooms. They also all play different and sound different.

I do use all my 5, soon to be six guitars.

Because the the Les Paul Custom was $699 in 1980 now it's $5600.

Guitars suck and are for douchebags. I only have 3 electrics and an acoustic.

 

[SpiderWars]

Because I like guitars.

I do play them all. Different guitars inspire me to play differently. Most were built by me so selling would be taking a huge loss.

Great thread to post on a guitar and amp forum #facepalm

 

[NeubyWanKaneuby]

Because I wear tan pants and like looking at all these g-strings.

 

[dstroud]

I have inexpensive models I really like. When I see one for like $300 I can’t help but buy it lol oh I do play them all.

I haven't counted them lately but I think I have 25 to 30 guitars. Most are Fender's and Gibson's. I have different pickups in most of them. I cycle through them eventually. I have more amps than guitars. I usually buy a new guitar every year. My wife will even ask me, "What guitar are you buying this year?" I was just building a guitar on Fender's Mod Shop site. Maybe it will be this year's guitar.

If I had stuck with $300 to $500 guitars, I'd probably have 3 to 4 times as many.

Can you adopt me brother?

 

[Fusionbear]

10 electrics
1 acoustic
1 bass

They all get used. They are in different tunings.

One electric is for sale as I do have redundancy in that particular genre....

 

[MadAsAHatter]

Because I can...
