How many guitars do you have?

[Robert]

Be honest, how many do you have now? I haven't bought a lot of guitars the last 10 years but a few years I acquired my dream guitar - a Custom Shop Les Paul. The next big one is the Fender Custom Shop Journeyman Strat that I really love the sound of. It's almost perfect. I also got something I've been wanting - a P-90 guitar from Eastman and a PRS DGT SE which is a nice all-around axe. I use it a lot for gigs because of versatility.

Just 2. An Art & Lutherie cedar acoustic and a Squier Affinity Series Strat. I went through a phase a while back where I wanted to try the bass, and Squier sells a P-Bass that matches my strat. If I was going to buy another guitar it would likely be that or an acoustic/electric.

Currently 22, but 2 years ago I was up to 35. A friend passed in 2023 and left me 15 on top of my 20, so I sold most of them and a few of mine and did some major upgrading, getting a Duesenberg, a Gretsch Falcon, a Guild Custom Shop Orpheum SLope Shoulder acoustic and an F512, etc. I kept a couple of his and one of them is a Martin Custom Shop Buddy Guy J40, which is the coolest and best sounding Martin rosewood guitar I've ever played. He had a lot more guitar money than me, so bought really nice guitars.

I'll post some pics of them in a future thread. I created a list of guitars that I've owned since I was 15 (68 now) and I've had 84 guitars pass through my hands! It's a good thing I'm able to do most of my own repairs, electronics, setups, etc, because I'd have spent a ton of money upgrading, repairing, etc. Pretty much lost money on every one of them when I sold them because I'm a GAS-y and imapatient man

I'd love to see photos of some of your guitars.

I will post some soon

Including electrics, acoustics (or acoustic-electrics), and bass guitars, 32. If you include one that's strictly unplayable "wall art," then 33. I just finally got round to updating my "collage" photo of the 29 electrics and basses, am posting it in a separate thread.

I have downsized a fair bit over recent years. Aside from some workbench projects I am down to 12:
1/ PRS SE Custom 24 (the blue one pictured)
2/ PRS SE Special (22 frets, pictured)
3/ Fender Strat Ultra from the mid-90s -- my oldest guitar
4/ Fender Mexican Strat
5/ PRS Singlecut semi-hollow from early 2000s
6/ Fender Baja Tele similar vintage
7/ Epiphone Sheraton (very old and crazy heavy)
8/ Martin Mexican Road Series acoustic
9/ Fender Mexican P bass
10/ Gretsch Boxcar resonator
11/ ancient Fender nylon acoustic
12/ Yamaha 12-string (cause everyone should have a 12 string?)

I had hoped and still intend to get rid of more, but the market is so soft right now there's little point. Can get a bit more if trading, but there is really no gear I need and we're at the stage of life where we want and need to downsize, not bring in new stuff (no matter how appetizing that seems at times!)
