Do you have too many guitars???

[El Cid]

My Name is John (some of you may know me from MLP) & I'm a compulsive guitar addict and stupidly thought joining this would help me not to buy anymore guitars

Boy was I wrong.
I have Been Playing for 25 years both semi pro and just for fun but have never been what you'd call a great lead guitarist but i can get by. I like a groove. I also enjoy anyone that knows chords and uses them well.

Just Awesome

You can practically play a different guitar every 3 days. Your place must feel like a Hard Rock of some sorts. Rock on Man

 

[wwit]

Everyones limit as to haw many is too many is different. I personally have not hit mine. Just a small collection now. All in my sig. Only exception is my no name bass and cheap Fender Bronco 40 bass amp that I haven't used for at least 2 years.

For me, the 'too many' limit is hit when it changes from collection, to vice. And the type of vice that overtakes everything important to the point where a person is willing to lose everything good in their world to fulfill the vice.

 

[Jim McPherson]

Hey John,

just a thought....

if you restring 2 guitars a week - you'll need more than a year to get it done

Could you imagine the cost of recycling those strings??

 

[Paruwi]

Could you imagine the cost of recycling those strings??

Should be cheaper then buying new strings...

 

[Keith Longstaff]

I've got one less than i actually really need. Or thats what i tell the misses

I don't smoke, only drink on special occasions so guitars are my addiction. I only spend the money I can easily pay back and some of them will end up as good investments(I hope).

No need to justify with us, most of us understand you - more or less

Impressive Collection

 

[Fullmoon 1971]

Thanks guys, most of the people I know including friends think I'm nuts. Luckily my partner is probably the most understanding woman in the world. She loves the sound of a well plyed guitar and for the most part she actually sees them are functional pieces of art. (see thru mockingbird & a couple of other not withstanding)

Congrats on the Missus

 

[PtTimeRckr]

Awesome. My collection is meager, but well-loved and growing. As I get better at setups and tinkering, I expect to find some gems in need of some TLC. All of this thanks to this place (and the other) and guys like Paruwi and other amazing souls that share the info, the intel... and the INSANITY!

Impressive too say the least... Yeah, you have to have that one woman that understands you passion. Congrats Sir..... you are the winner!!!

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Holy Crap Fullmoon,i quit counting cause i dont know any more numbers. Impressive

 

[fuelish]

I've got 4 guitars, my wife thinks that's enough.... I'm "content" with my small collection (all 4 are completely different animals) but I can definitely think of a few I'd like to add some day/one day

Everyone does realize that when you see pics of all these guitars, that you will have to most serious GAS of your lives

My gas is already bad enough that people think I eat beans on a nightly basis! Oh wait...

 

[RTH]

Wow!

 

[Fullmoon 1971]

Thanks folks, Yeah the missus is a keeper. to be honest just when I think I've got a hold on my GAS she's the one that usually finds something that sets me off again. The latest being the Prophecy custom em-2. £120 in virtually mint condition. Like I said certainly a keeper
