I agree and obviously didn't make my OP very clear. I don't really care how many guitars anyone has or why they chose to own that many (or that few). I'm curious as to why (seemingly recently) we have these competing trends to acquire guitars on one hand and on the other hand dispose of guitars to get to the lowest number. One of the obvious goals of minimizing is often financial liquidity, but aside from that there seems to be an unstated ascetic goal involved.
Over the past ten years, I've been on both sides of these competing trends and ultimately succumbed to the lure of owning and playing nice (to me anyhow) guitars. I live a fairly simple life and enjoy owing the Taylors in my possession. They're great to play, sound really nice to my ears and are easy on the eye. I've long been a Taylor fan (got my first in 2006), but have to admit very superficially that Andy Powers' entry and increased use of wood binding sealed the deal for me.
