I own more than a couple. More than three, even.

I own far more than I need, but maintain a comfortable “guitar budget.” I have my favorites that get played very often (some daily), and others that get played much less frequently (perhaps weekly.) However, I don’t feel pressure or a desire to own a certain number. I enjoy the variety. And if I enjoy playing them — they stay. There are times the rotation changes too.

I have 10 acoustics and one electric which is 2 over closet capacity. For most of my life, I had 2 - a six string and a twelve string which seems logical. Not sure how I got to 10. I am thinking about selling 3. But then again, there is something to be said for an even dozen!

Re: How Many?
I will only admit to two facts:
1. I had to upgrade MS Office specifically for Excel to list them all with serial numbers, et al. It's a stupid big number but my acquisition demons and I are on a solid basis. 2. I bought a Taylor last year and it arrived in the midst of a move, so I hardly got to play it and it ended up out of the rotation. I was ruminating a month or so ago as to why I did not have a sunburst Taylor. While doing my inventory for the spreadsheet I opened up the case and lo and behold, here is a sunburst Taylor! I was like a kid on Christmas morning! If this is how it will be when my mind starts to slip, at least I expect to be grinning a lot

For 25 years I had but one- my old Alvarez.
Then I "went electric," started a band, and had as many as 8 acoustics and 3 electrics at the same time. Then I retired from the band and downsized. Then I downsized some more when preparing to move. I now have 4 acoustics and one Telecaster and a Blues Jr. amp. Seems to be a good number for me right now.

Three, for the moment, although I still may have to sell my harp guitar because of economics. And then there's the "bun in the oven" guitar that I purchased today because of the expected loss of the harp guitar. But now when I play that harp guitar it sounds just so darn good how could I possibly sell it. (At least that's the argument I try with my wife... she just rolls her eyes.)

I had 10 at one time, started working that number down a couple of years ago. I'm down to 3 right now, just sold my Yamaha A3CM last week.
I'm going to start auditioning my retirement guitar this summer. Probably make a trip to Nashville or someplace else where I can find lots of higher end stuff to try out. Once I buy that one I'll probably be done. I said probably

I have nine acoustics (though two or three are for sale), two electrics, two ukuleles, and a 1937 A style mandolin.
I also have two acoustic amps and one electric amp.

I donated 2 to my local High School last week so logically that gives me room for 3 more.

Personally, I am at maximum capacity of three - all are listed in my signature below. The reality is that I could happily get by with just the E6D. I have been thinking that I need to trade to the J15 for a J35. I love the tone of the J15, but I need/want a bit deeper neck profile. I can also see selling the Larrivee to buy an E20D-TC when those hit the market again. I dunno...
My wife also has three: Eastman AJ816 and AJ817-12 and a Pogreba single cone. Our sons each have a Seagull Entourage.
