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.

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....

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... ]

52

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! :

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.

[pes_laul]

I'm not sure if I have one or two My squire's broken down. and spuds do you seriously have 52 guitars?!

[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?

[Robert****]

52 ... someone clearly has a wonderfully sick mind.... our belove potato head - you are the inspiration!

Last time I counted I was at 15.

[duhvoodooman***]

...and spuds do you seriously have 52 guitars?!

Apparently, you missed this posting by Spuds a couple of months back, Kris:

This is the roof shot I remember hearing about, correct?

Yup. Prolly a wide-angle lens on the camera, too!

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.

[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

[marnold***]

The three in my sig, although the Squier doesn't get played a ton anymore.
