After a couple months however, I would think most of us have an inkling if it's a keeper.
If that were my collection, I'd start A/Bing like crazy, and separate the wheat from the chaff. My bet is you can get down to 10 - 12 pretty easily, and put a LOT of cash back into your pocket. My bet is that your two Pre*War guitars will be in the finals.
Good luck!  |
I resonate with this. I am at 5 on my way to 4. I got totally seduced by the tone of a guitar last year but after a couple of months realized that my left hand was not going to adjust to the nut width and scale length. But, I was still looking to fill a longing for a guitar with less overtones and more fundamental. So, I put one on consignment and commissioned the maker to build a custom for me. Couldn’t be happier and still regularly play the others.
I think that my GAS is pretty well cured as my 4 each bring something different tonally and my bank account has no more bandwidth for the guitar expense line.
Best,
