So... how many guitars do you actually own

JerkMoans

In truth, my meagre stable is at about the lowest head count it's been since I joined this merry band of madcap funsters.

I'm very close to that.  Hard to be exact, a few are completely unplayable so I'm not sure they count, and there are a lot of unassembled parts...

Over the last 10-15 years, I somehow managed to amass 50+ guitars that I really didn't need, and mostly didn't play.   

They spent most of their time  hidden away in cases with me fearing an imminent visit from the RSPCG accusing me of neglect.


But now, after my recent Closing Down sale,  I've just left with the hardcore few.




The one I'll never sell ...


... because it's the best guitar I've ever played.



The one I just bought ...



... because it'd be mad to sell the one I just bought!



The one-I-bought-before-the-one-I-just-bought ...



... which is a really nice sounding acoustic already.



My youngest ...



... which does now have strings.



 The triplets ...



... covering the single coil, P90 and humbucker options.



Still got the odd Kawai or 15 ...

... but they don't count as they're really a "collection".


So, I count 7 (excluding the Kawais).

TTony

Which must mean there are just another 40 or so hidden away in cases.  

(I wasn't very good at the Closing Down sale).

After years of buying/trying/selling I've come to realise I only need 5: 

Strat (Fender USA)
Tele (Fender MIM)
Super Strat (Ibanez S470)
Super Tele  (EBMM Axis) 

And an acoustic (Yamaha LL6) for strumming around the house.  

Silhouette

5? I'm not sure that 25 would be enough for me.

I currently own:

Fender JD Tele
Fender Modified Japanese Strat
Giffin Tele
K-Line Truxton (Tele type)
Wudtone Strat
3 x Musicman Silhouettes
2 x Gibson 335
Gibson L4
Gibson 175 (1951)
Gibson 330
Ibanez PM100
Yamaha Acoustic
Ibanez SWR 6 String Bass
Warwick Thumb Bass

I am pleased to say that I actually play most of them fairly regularly.

Bowks

As will become apparent, I like a signature model:


Ibanez PGM301
Ibanez PGMM31 (technically my daughter's, when she is big enough )
Ibanez JS2450
Music Man Luke 3 HSS
Music Man Steve Morse
Music Man Majesty
Fender Classic Player 60's Strat
Fender 50's Telecaster

Need help choosing a couple of new ones.

MSF

Fender Stratocaster
Gabriella Carrillo Concert classical guitar
Petersen Concert classical guitar

Lowden O32
Lowden S34

The Lowden S34 is interesting in that George Lowden himself built two of them, and they were the only two in existence, however, i've since found out that one of them is no longer in existence, so mine is unique - looks well played but sounds and plays like a dream, as does the O32.

I can post pictures if anyone's interested   :-)

Too many, thinning the herd is quite cathartic really
