How many guitars do you own?

[duhvoodooman***]

OK, I'm surprised this hasn't been done before here, but I'm curious about this. How many guitars do you own? Any kind counts--electric, acoustic, basses, dobros, etc. But it has to be a guitar; no mandolins, banjos, ukes, etc.

I'm up to 8 now and my wife thinks I'm some kind of maniac. Well, OK, let's not get into debate on that point, but I've been telling her that, for a guitar enthusiast, I'm fairly normal...at least in a statistical sense. But I need DATA!! So click on the value above that represents your particular extent of GAS fulfillment!

Oh man Brian and Spud are definately going to win this thread.

Anyway I've got 8 also. 2 Les Pauls, 2 Strats, 1 Tele, 2 Acoustics and 1 Jazz Bass. I still haven't done a family portrait.

Haha, Spud's got over twice mine!

Composites are the way to go for portraiture of large groups, though Spud's lawn shot from the roof is a classic.





Counting guitars and basses and subtracting the banjo, mando, and uke, I get 22.

Krash! Me like your collection, and A+ for presentation. :
Put me down for a whopping THREE at the moment.

I'm up to six. I've decided that I really don't need that many. Gonna trim it down to one electric, one 6 string acoustic, and one 12 string acoustic. Maybe then I can focus more on practice. :

17. Pretty evely distributed between acoustics and electrics. Plus a mando and a uke. Links to pics in my sig.

As for s'plainin' them to Lucy, Fred: " 'tis better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.'

Two electrics minimum. Because if you get in a band or otherwise find yourself in a performing sitch, you need a backup.

I've got two & I got both of those at the same time. My wife still doesn't understand why I need two.

The other day she said "I think you don't need to get any more of those little boxes" meaning pedals. I should show her some of your little box boards!!

The thing is, right now I agree with her. I don't need any more little boxes.

O, but this year I will get a third guitar.

[Steve206]

I have 9 guitars:

61 016NY Martin
66 D40 Guild
87 Wash D28-12
87 USA Strat
00 Johnson Tri Cone
04 Wash J-6 Hollow Body
06 Wash HB-32 Boogie St Music
06 Wash J28SCEDL
?? Fender Strat [beer promo W/ 1 humbucker]
?? Martin Uke
?? Oscar Schmidt Autoharp
06 Rogue A-style Mando A/E

If I could keep only one guitar. It would be the hollow body, because it just makes me feel better.

Here are a few of them hanging around,,

I've got 5, a Washburn WI64DL, a Washburn House of Blues electric, a Washburn G30 acoustic, a Yamaha 115 electric, and a Silvertone bass. And yes, my wife thinks I'm nuts too...

I can't help my GAS issues... :

Don't forget to vote in the poll as well as posting what you have....

[Plank_Spanker]

14 of them so far...............................

[Childbride]

For us, that's kind of depending on how you count?

the household has 10, if Shiner gets his archtop back from UPS.

but individually, i have 4 and he has 6.

[it should go to eleven... ]

Yeah, I told my wife about you, Spuds. I didn't know she even knew words like the ones she used in reply. I think her last words on the subject were something along the lines of "Don't even think about it, buster!" (Actually, she didn't say "buster"; it was some, er, other word....)

You're an inspiration to Fretters everywhere! :

Were the initials, M. F. . .

I have 3, the Joshua acoustic I started with, my strat, and the Fullerton ST-4. There are 3 more in the household. My son has an acoustic and his Fullerton ST-3, and my girl has her Indiana Filly pink acoustic.

[Ro3b]

I have the 5 listed in my sig, and that's more than I need. If all I had was the Xaviere and the Guild, I'd be fine. You wanna talk amps or effects or PA equipment, that's a different story.

[just strum]

I have 5 at the moment. Right now the Dot and ARC300 are my favorites. Future - a Gretsch and a Strat, but that is a ways off. I decided no more guitars until I can demonstrate a sizable improvement in my playing. Guitars started getting like golf drivers and the thinking was, new guitar, better playing.

Spud, are you serious? Do you have any photos of some of them?

[ted s]

5 as listed in my sig..
More than I need ? Yes. More than I want ?

We should have an amph quantity poll as well ?


SPUD IS THE KING
