How many guitars do you currently own?

[PFDarkside]

Inspired by TMD’s pedal post, how many guitars do you have? And more importantly how many do you think you need? (Points deducted for the x = n + 1 answer).

I’m at 18. Seems excessive. I’ve got my first real guitar, an Epiphone, which I’ll never get rid of and my Fender Jazz V that was my main bass the entire time I was actually in a band. My acoustic was bought as a forever guitar and it is.... As I l’m GASsing for more guitars I’m thinking “what can I get rid of to offset?” Maybe 2 out 1 in wouldn’t be the worst thing for me.

I have some Les Paul redundancy, a couple need some work to be back in playing condition and I've managed to loan a few out to my kids. So, probably not as rough as 21-30 looks in the poll.

 

[Sirion]

Three right now: a Byrd Super Avianti serving strat duty and two Kramer Barettas from the years 1987-1990. I do, however, have most of the parts needed for several more Kramer builds.

14, with one promising to be here by the 30th of Dec.
If you end a sentence with an abbreviation, should you use two periods of one?

I think including cello, banjos and ciger box guitars I own 32 right now. about 15 Electrics and 8 acoustic 6 strings -rest is basses, resonators, cigar box, banjos, cello etc.

But came in to several this year accidentally. I am goin going to be down to about 12-15 by end of 2021. and down to 7-8 within 3 years. and then 4-5 till the end. (2 Electrics -1 semi, one solid, Bass, Acoustic, Resonator)

as I'm living overseas and in an RV in 5-7 years (I had to slide the plan out 2 years based on 2020 and family stuff.

Since 2016, I've probably bought and sold twice as many. I don't really have the room for more.

One is fine.

10-15. Did a quick count in my head and holding up fingers, but I just woke up and I’m holding my phone, so I think it’s 11, but I’m not 100% on that.

Just thought of another two since I typed that, so 13?

 

[Synapsys]

12 electrics, an electroacoustic, and an electric bass. No more real estate currently available at my apartment...

 

[solspirit]

5
2 electrics & 3 acoustics.

 

[TVFV]

Umm... nothing at the moment...

 

[Hsb]

3, Ibanez Iceman, Jackson 7 string and LTD M401

 

[Aceman]

I have 42 guitars at the moment.

Non - functioning: 5 semi-jacked up, damaged, projects guitars
Acoustic: 5 - one Ovation (jacked) one 12 and one nylon (I play acoustic solo/duo sometimes and acoustic in band)
Bass: 4 - one 5 string
Les Pauls: 4 - one Custom shop, 2 70's, and a studio
Semi-hollow: 3 - All Epiphone
V's: 4 - 2 Jackson, 2 Dean
Strat style: - 8 Super Strats and one real Fender
And some more stuff: 2 BC rich (one junk Platinum and an Epic NJ Classic Bich)

Guitars Specifically because of my Band - 15, 4 V's, 5 Caddy's, 2 Basses, a couple of junkers. They all get gigged for the past 6 years now...

Typical price paid: MOST of the guitars I buy are between $199 and $299. Many of those came with Duncan/DiMarzio's already in them. I am a brutally patient guitar sniper. Example: Tomato Red Epiphone Dot Studio with a JB & Jazz. $300. Neon Yellow Kramer ST300 w/ Screamin' Demon $160. Dean 2003 DOA Special edition 18 of 50 Silverburst Cadillac w/ JB $260.

5 or 6 are currently available. Call me!
when Hollywood is done (if) there will be probably 7-8 more available. + $20 if signed by Steve Dallas


How many I need?
1 good acoustic
1 bass
All of my Les Pauls
1 Caddy
2 Strats Real/Super
2 Semi 339 & Dot w/ P-Rails

I could live with 11...ish. Maybe...

[Securb]

I have added three Les Pauls and a Mandocello since this picture has been taken.

 

[ErikH]

6 electrics
1 electric project in progress
1 acoustic
1 bass

With them are my oldest daughter's electric and bass.

 

[Mincer]

6-10 for me. I tend to go for a particular sound and guitars that can get many tones, rather that look for lots of different-sounding guitars.

 

[Ascension]

10 all electrics. 6 Carvin Kiesels my PRS Custom 24 and 3 USA Custom Washburns.

 

[Aceman]

I go for different looking guitars. They all sound the same.
