  • Keep or Deep?

    Hey! I know Ive already done a thread on what to keep and what to part with. the results last time were inconclusive and Im actually approching with a diff angle and attitude this time..

    Im thinning the herd which is hard cuz the economy is so crummy.. AND, I really do l love all my guitars, so it's not a matter of getting rid of the ones I like least.

    matter of fact, Even my lowest line guitars are good enough that if Id have started on them, Id prolly have become better than I am, and probably wouldnt have become the gear Ho I am..
    Anyhow.Here are some of my thoughts.

    When I play, ive been trying to evaluate the guitars and say, could I be happy with this? yeah.. So.....

    My strat is decided on. I have a japanese squier strat.in great shape, sounds and plays great. Cost next to nothing and probably not worth much to sell.. I'll keep it. Got my strat tones covered

    my bulk is superstrats and LP style guitars. Would you keep the most expensive (also the most valuable brand name) and sell the rest? Or?

    Im not gonna list everything, cuz I dont want this to become about brand name. Here is an example tho:
    I have a Gibson Trad pro, A fantastic Burny, a great import Dean soltero. and others. ALL are worthy of being a #1 guitar.

    So, I could keep the top names. Or keep the mid range and maybe make more selling the top ones. I like having the brand gear, but also love to see guys ripping up on lesser gear. So..
    Thoughts?? thanks

      Keep the strat, your Tele, the Burny, and an Ibanez/guitar with a locking trem.

      Sell the rest.

            Invite a friend over and have him randomly number and hand you your guitars in the dark. You play and rate em on playability and go from there. No cheating by feeling all over em either!

              If they are all genuinely capable of being your number 1, from my experience I'd sell the ones that you will not lose so much money on and hopefully make a little.

                thats what Im thinking. I mean, I have some that to some of you guys, they arent the best. but they are definately better than I am as a player and gig worthy.. For example, my Michael Kelly Patriot Custom. Its a killer axe. My Dean Soltero. Its an import, but its a sick sick player. So, do I NEED my Gibson LP when I have that Soltero? Many guys would say keep the gibson cuz of the name and its a good axe, but, I prolly have a better chance to sell it and Id still have a great axe..
                I was thinking I should just keep the Gibson and keep my most "prestigious" trem guitar and sell others. But, I dont sound or play any better on my most expensive trem guitar than I do on my Charvel Pro Mod. The Charvel is giggable Im sure.
                So, this is how my thought pattern has changed recently..
                I have a Washburn HM24 that I got dirt cheap (modded pickups) that is fully capable of anything I can dish out to it..
                Im just trying to get realistic.

                  If they are genuinly capable of being the #1, I'd sell the expensive ones...
