Caveat poster! There’s less than a stone’s throw between deep thinking and overthinking! I think this general approach to guitars, though, has been referred to as “serial monogamy”—I’d read advice somewhere early on, maybe from Pat Metheny, to “Play *one* guitar!” The idea being to go deep rather than broad. Mileage may vary of course. In full disclosure, I do have a new guitar on order this year, so it’ll total something like 5 instruments in slightly over 30 years. And this latest is hard to defend, beyond the fact that I came across some historic topwood and a legendary builder willing to try something different. More as it happens.
