The other issue is that a couple of my guitars have sentimental value (50th birthday pressie from Mrs9000, and one bought with inheritance money from my dad) so regardless of whatever else I buy these two will never be sold. As much as I think I’d like fewer guitars, the truth is I’ll probably always own four or five.
On the plus side, I'm not one for amps and pedals: Vox ToneLab SE for the stage and a Blackstar Fly for home. But I do have a lot of band PA and lighting too.
She says you should hold your stuff and keep things that "spark joy" and that's kinda what got me into this mess in the first place.
I have another guitar arriving in a couple of hours.
Of the 'bought' guitars :
LP Custom (18th birthday gift, strong memory of my Dad, now dead)
Brook Tavy (personal inlay of the beach we scattered my Dads ashes)
Ryder LP - love it, not gonna sell
Playet Strat - 'bought' for me by my two young sons at christmas
PRS SAS - would sell, but 2nd hand value crap and my boys love it
Vintera mod50s Tele - boys helped me pick it out (thanks, GG Glasgow for your patience)
All the rest (3 elec, 3 ukes, 1 bass, 1 acoustic) made at Baileys or at home.
Id love to raise money for more purchases, but homebuilds have no value, and almost everything else has sentimental value. I realise some folk see instruments purely as tools, but i dont.
So, no. Not gonna cut down (and i have another Brook and several homebuilds on the way too!)
I am up to 6.
Recently I thought about thinning the herd but realised that the ones I have are there for a reason and that is because I wanted them.
They are all different, and I tend to find myself picking up the one that reflects what I am "into" at present.
At the moment I am really appreciating The Reverend Horton Heat, so the gretsch is my go to.
A couple of years ago I was going to sell the Gretsch as I hadn't really bonded with it. Had I done so I would have regretted it immensely and hankered after a new one.
Pointless.
Umless something dire happens financially I am going to stick with what I have.
