Silly reasons you use to justify buying another guitar.

I now find myself wanting another Les Paul so I can have it in different tuning. :-(

But surely this is a valid reason

Yup, sounds valid.

And you can get a different colour, right? And go Custom if your current one is a Standard (or vice versa!)? 

Simples!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I have a cherry sun burst traditional, 

I need a darker burst and more expensive probably. :-)

Then I will have a crisis over which one to have as the E flat guitar.

10 years ago I needed two Rickenbackers. I still have them but one gets played and one doesnt.

I’m with you. What is this justify? What does it mean?

Teetonetal

My latest purchase is purely because it's limited edition -  a finish I love, and in a body shape I've been after for a while.
Other reasons have included:
 
it's cheap (2015 LP),
your getting a child, what do I get (Master built tele).
I've wanted one since 1996 (Pink paisley tele).
I have gear to trade for it (JA-90)
I'm doing acoustic gigs now, so should have a back up (Takamine P3)

Elwood

My excuse is to keep up with @ellwood ;

Though at this moment he has infinitely more guitars than me. Should get one back tomorrow and then my 2018 resolution of owning more great guitars than him begins. Game on.

Dammit. I keep saying the next one has arrived because @Elwood bought it!!

Now I have to buy more???

And here was me about to give us GAS forever. Sigh.

1)  Have X amount in a savings account earning barely a tuppence and no enjoyment - So buy a guitar and enjoy it

2) @Elwood and @HarrySeven have more than me so I'd like to compete 

3) I like it so what other reason do I need

HarrySeven

@guitars4you...

The HarrySeven gear-acquisition rationale/manifesto:

1. I want it.
2. Buy it.
3. Repeat.

It's a guitar. You neeed guitars.

Other than space constraints there ought not be any other GAS limiting factor.

Teyeplayer

Easy: no two are the same.

"I need it."
"I haven't got that type, yet."
"I have a ... but that's a ... - I want a ... "
"Imagine what my guitar playing would be like if I got that guitar?"

I prefer to avoid too much conspicuous consumption, but this is perfectly fine.  A spare guitar dedicated to that other tuning means you'll use that tuning more.
