Default Decision made

After listening to all of these great responses, I played each guitar, a few after not having been played for months. Opening each case, each had it's very distinct smell and each has it's own sound. Yes, they still have that Bourgeois smell after almost 10 years. Intoxicating almost. They are each magnificent. Sometimes an abundance of riches blinds us to what we really have. I am retiring in 6 months. I think that making any decision prior to retirement would be a mistake. I think the best course of action is to live with this beautiful collection for a year after retirement, even if they are not being played much, and then make a decision. As I said, my Buscarino Cabaret is all I play at the moment, but it's impossible to predict what I will feel like after a year of retirement. Then, at that time, if it's clear that I won't play them, I can sell one or all of them. But, it's too soon.

Thanks again, everyone. All of your comments have really helped me with this.
