How many acoustics do you own

DoctorX

I’ve got two, a Martin HD28 reimagined and a Taylor 314ce.

Just dropped to three from four. I will be looking for another one soon,cash permitting because I just havent quite found one that ticks enough of the boxes just yet. I'd love an Eastman,and a 12 string,and I have become smitten by the sound of an archtop. I would also like just one electric too,for the convenience.

A Martin D-41 from 1972, gigged and battle scarred. Its been all over the world with me. I've had it nearly 50 years

That D-41 is fantastic. One of the 'posh' models that's been played properly, which is as it should be... they were all made to be used.

Rowby1

Two, a Northworthy Radbourne and very cheap Yamaha I bought as flood damaged stock in ‘81 for £25. The Yam has a hi string set in it and records incredibly well....against all the odds.

I've got 3. A Breedlove Atlas Ac/SR 25 Plus which is almost 17 year old, a Faith Neptune Trembesi which is almost 8 years old and then a Taylor 710e which is just 3 months old.

I’ve got a Valencia classical, a Tanglewood mini e koa, and a Tanglewood travel acoustic.

Martin D18
Martin 0017s

Though I'm thinking of moving the D18 and 0017s on in favour of an OM21.

Two
A Gibson Jackson Browne model
A Buscarino nylon string

Always liked the look of the Jackson Browne. How do you find it ?

I like the Jackson Browne model, which I use mainly in Open D tuning, but it's good for changing tunings and it stays in tune well. A good tone when fingerpicked.

Nice guitar. Good spec on that model

TheBigDipper

I've just counted. Six.

Brook Taw (the "go to")
L-Arrivee L-01 (the previous "go to")
Martin 0-16NY (with silk'n'steel strings)
Stonebridge (Furch) SF25 12-string
Dobro (Epiphone?) Hound Dog Deluxe resonator
Cordoba C-12 classical

Too many guitars, not enough hours....

Sounds as though my ten is a bit ... excessive?

3 here as well:

Jon LeVoi custom Maccaferri Gypsy Jazz guitar

Martin OM 35

s/h Breedlove mahogany OM style - my campfire beater - it's actually really versatile

No way, you can never have too many, if it makes you feel better here's mine.

Sobell MS signature ( adi/braz)
Fylde Anniversary custom ( german/braz)
HJ Williams Esk ( German/Honduras rosewood)
Lowden O32
Lakewood A32
Gibson J185 custom (koa)
Nothwood OM-80 (braz)
Northwood 00-80 (braz)
Northwood studio (12 fret)
Bourgeois Soloist (Italian/macassar ebony)
Collings OM2H ( sitka/koa)
Collings CJ35SB
Martin D41
Martin D28
Martin 00028 VS
Martin 00028 EC
Taylor Nylon strung (cant remember the model)
Yamaha LJ56
Larrivee OM10
Larrivee L09

I've probably missed something out but they all get played, have been gigged, and get looked after.

Your string bill must be bigger than your mortgage.

I have a friend who owns 30+ pre-war National resonators and can tell the difference between them all. You need to wear sunglasses in his guitar room.

Wow, now that would be something to see !

More than I thought:

A Turner Super Jumbo thing with a cutaway (bought in about 2002, not seen Turners since)

A Yama (no ha) Japanese OM type thing with a mag pickup jammed in the soundhole which I love unreasonably for something I got for £40 from Crack Converters in Exeter

A 60s cheap nylon string - I think it's a Malaga? that I was given by someone who didn't want it anymore. Again, it sounds much better than it has any right to.

A 1956 Hofner Congress that you can only play for three months of the year when the relief sits in the right place for it not to sound like a banjo

A 5 string Kay Banjo

An Aria mandolin

and a piano - does that count?

I've got a D18 and OM21. I really think they compliment each other perfectly.

Both Martins (not a deliberate policy)

00-17SE and a D28A
