You do know you can do both.
How many guitars do you currently own?

The goal is for all your Caddies to sound the same just look different? So you are choosing pickups to minimize the differences? Interesting.

You know, I’d like to see a “play it on the wrong guitar” series.
Chicken Pickin on a Les Paul
Creamy British Blues licks on a Strat
SRV on a double locking HSH
Motley Crue on a (traditional) Tele
I know the point of gear pages is to fuel the GAS but I’m really wondering how many one (and that means me) needs?
-Acoustic
-P/J Bass
-60’s Strat
-Super Strat
-Tele
-Les Paul
Is that it? :scratchch

I'm at 12 with 1 project, and longcat has another 7.
Gibsons (4): SG Standard, Explorer, Les Paul Standard, ES-335
Charvel (3): Model 4, Model 2 (project), Model 1A
Guild (2): DV-6, G212
Fender Tele, Yamaha Pacifica 12, & Spector Rebop bass
Between those and a few I borrow from longcat, we have the basses
sigh pretty well covered in terms of different sounds. If I add another it'll be a second SG as a backup for gigs.

I think I've mentioned this before, but I have a friend in LA who decorated his house getting a Korean company to knockoff basically every classic guitar for him. at like 100-200 a pop. I think the guitars are built in China or Malaysia though
They look close enough for the art aspect -most play like shit but most have never been set up at all -they are just paintings basically
he has over a hundred of them wall to wall in his house. looks super cool. Sprinkled in are his couple of legit 60s Strats and LPs.
He looked at like -instead of buying art and framing things -he spent less than 20k to decorate his entire house (guitar plus Hercules hangers) in the art he really cares about.
He did this around 2008 to 2014 BTW

Including basses, up to 28. I have quite a few on the chopping block, but most of them need some work, new pots/switches/etc, and I've been too lazy to do the work. If I ever get around to it, that would drop me down to aroung 15ish.

Just four. Three electrics (tuned to E standard, E flat, and D standard), one acoustic. No basses, which is a serious deficit for me. Hopefully, in the next few years, I'll get at least one more electric and a bass.

My black Les Paul ES I have used with the band. I have played Judas Preist, Van Halen, and Anthrax on that guitar and it sounded great. Like I have said a thousand times metal is all about the attitude, not the equipment.
Sure, but once I find something that works, I tend not to keep looking.

I keep forgetting and regularly discover guitars I forgot I ever had. I can count 18 in this room right now. I know there are at least five more in the attic and at least six in another room with my amps and stuff, so that's a minimum of 29. Knowing how often I've gone up into the attic and tripped over an LP Jr I have no memory of, I'll call it 30 complete guitars. Then there are all the random parts in the house; I know there are enough bodies, necks and hardware here that I could piece together another three or four if I wanted to spend an afternoon doing so. So let's call it 29-33 depending on how much time I was given to search the house and/or throw together the leftovers.
FWIW I stopped counting how many guitars I've owned, total, many years ago. I know I passed the 100 mark in 2009.
edit: not one second after I posted that I remembered an acoustic in the attic, so that's a definite 30 minimum.

I have no doubt that an ES can do that stuff. I’m wondering if I did an HSS with good a decent tremolo and some slightly fancy wiring, where I’d hit the wall if I even would.

I currently have six.
Right now though, there are only five playable.
An acoustic and five electrics.
One of the electrics is in pieces at the moment. The original neck is going to go back on and that will require some more work.
I also have other plans to expand the ranks

Forgot about the “what else do you need” part.
When my dad’s estate settles, I’m allowing myself one silly purchase. At first, it was going to be some ridiculous amp, like a Two Rock or something, but 99% of my playing is at home, so I’m sticking with my Mustang III 1x12.
I think the purchase isn’t going to be all that silly, and am leaning toward a bolt on PRS. I’ve always loved CEs and Swamp Ash Specials, but it may be a Silver Sky if I catch a sweet deal at the right time. Older CEs come up for around a grand pretty frequently, SAS a little more than that, and the Silver Skies well under 2k used.

I only need my :
Koa bich (drop C tuning)
sunburst LP with PAFs
purpleburst LP with modern pickups
Thinline Tele with widerange pickups
52 style tele with singlecoils
Iron Maiden strat
natural strat with singlecoils.
The rest is luxury.
