I have four guitars; two nylon string, a solid body electric, and a hollow body electric. I only play three of them though. Naturally being a guitarist; I wan't more. I've got my eye on the 54' Stratocaster remake; she's the girl of my dreams.
http://www.fender.com/series/american-stan...color-sunburst/ My wife of course tells me that I already have too many guitars; never mind all the purses she owns. So how many guitars is too many? I know we really only need one, but I hardly think I'm the worst out there. |

You need as many as you need
I currently have Dreadnaught Acoustic, Slope D acoustic, Tele, Tyler Superstrat, Burny Les Paul. It's obvious just looking at my list I need a nylon string, a 335, a 3 single coil strat and a guitar with at least 1 P90 pickup. -------------------- My SoundCloud

I spent all my money on guitars and booze - the rest, I just wasted.
That would be a big NO. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

No such thing IMHO you can never have enough guitars or gear. You can have too much other crap though. So trim all that crap down (throw pillows/purely decorative crap from pier1) and focus on getting more guitars.
However, I don't have a wife to deal with so I"m in a different situation. From what I've learned from my married pals, it's a VERY delicate walk. In essence, your best bet is to pick a fixed number and of guitars, say 5. And when you get a new one, sell an old one. That way the overall number doesn't swell and offend your better half and you can say, "just traded one out, no biggy" I've had as many as 12 guitars and I sometimes buy a new guitar each month as in the past few months and then sell them just about as quickly. I LOVE trying new guitars. Part of what makes life worth living. My most recent aquisition is a 28 POUND slab of mahogany, BC RICH Mockingbird ST! I have four guitars; two nylon string, a solid body electric, and a hollow body electric. I only play three of them though. Naturally being a guitarist; I wan't more. I've got my eye on the 54' Stratocaster remake; she's the girl of my dreams.

Nah ... when you buy a new guitar just let her buy a new pair of $300+ shoes. *As long as you're not taking food out of the kids' mouths. I always tell my wife that she's lucky I'm not into classic cars.
There's another great quote about guitars ... "When I die, don't let my wife sell my guitars for what she thinks I paid for them." This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 1 2014, 01:18 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
