Quality over quantity. Always, with all things.

One for hearthnabd home, and one for the road. My road guitar is a Journey Instruments Overhead. I’d have to do some serious whittling down to get down to the three I absolutely need.

It's a philosophical question - quality or variety? I appreciate both.
I would not want to be down to one guitar - things happen and it's nice to have a fall-back to play. I have found I enjoy playing different guitars, whether it's the woods, the body shape, the appearance, or the different sound - just like I enjoy playing different genres of music. So that points me toward having multiple guitars. But as I have aged (and got further from the near-poverty I experienced for many years), I have become fussier and fussier about the quality of tools I use. I learned that having something great to work with inspires me and makes me want to use it more - so all this points toward one great guitar instead of multiple ones. No wonder you asked the question.

It depends on your situation -- and what scenario is going to satisfy it. If you truly wanted to get down to one guitar, then you should probably keep the M-36 b/c that's the one you play the most and is most comfortable for you. Personally, I'd want to have more than one for variety and cover any availability issues, so I'd rank them in order of sellers to keepers (based on which I like best / play most).

The Voyage Air, while a nice guitar, is seldom bought without some consideration of its portability. If you travel by a means that makes it advantageous to have a Voyage Air, then keep it.
The other three are all good guitars. One may cover all of your playing needs. Or not. Only you can decide.

I don't know why you'd feel better having less invested, but you do appreciate the different roles of the other three. And you play the M-36 the most. So it's OK to sell the D-41. |
