In my mind, there is a sort of charm to owning just one guitar. But in my own reality/taste, I know that nothing give me the bassy power while strumming than a good rosewood bodied dreadnaught. And that dreadnaught will not give me the more articulate/balanced/refined tone when fingerpicking than a smaller bodied guitar will.
I could live with just one guitar and be thankful for it but I'm also thankful that I could accumulate a couple of really pleasing guitars of various sizes.

Short answer is yes. I'm close. One Martin dread and one Martin 000. I have lived on my boat for 14 years. Space is at a premium. I spend a lot of time babying these guitars. I may sell both and get en Emerald composite. Just can't seem to find one to play around me. If it sounds as good as the reviews, I could be content with just that one.

I can probably survive with one.....but I would rather live with several.

That's just crazy talk. Would I only want one pair of underwear?

Three
I think I could be happy with three. A martin 000-28, maybe a mahogany back and sides guitar that I haven't narrowed down yet, and I really want to get a classical nylon as well. But then I also have my $100 beater guitar for campfires and such. And then there's the mandolins, ukes, banjo, and violin.

I don't really wish it to be. I know how it'd end up though. I'd be left standing with my two Gibson's - the A3 mandolin and the L-1 guitar. Too many stories.

Nope. As previously stated, I could live with one but since I have some out-of-this-world guitars, there's no reason to .

At 63 years of age my wife and I have been on a quest to simplify and downsize for the last few years and it's not done yet.
I've sold off much of my PA equipment and a few guitars but there are more to go. I'm gifting my beloved Tele to a friend and gifting a few other assorted instruments to other friends. (It's good Karma to give instruments away...) I have 3 or 4 more acoustics to sell off and I'll be down to a single Taylor 322 and a Cordoba crossover nylon. (I have already sold off some MUCH more expensive guitars, but luckily I've learned what I really appreciate in a guitar.) I have some recording projects I'd like to eventually get done and I'm much happier playing more and changing strings less. Too many instruments to care for is a vexation of spirit. We live in a rural location and I sometimes think about which instruments would be grabbed on the way to the storm cellar, and having only a few "favorites" takes care of that decision. Besides, when we downsize to a tiny house that's going to limit my ability to store all these instruments!
