I wouldn't disagree with the original post, fortunate I don't have to choose . That said, certain guitars make the song or genre come alive. My old Gibson LG2 drives me down a vintage blues road that makes those tunes beg to be played. If I was a bluegrass player, I'd find it lacking. At some point the tool comes into the equation.

I question the “owning” of a song based on my lack of understanding what the OP considers owning.
I only play and sing songs I’ve written, and only play songs my friends have written. Of my songs I’m not sure I even “own” them. They’re mine, but they haven’t been mastered or played the best they should be played, I’m only working toward that with repetition. I’ve been playing some of them as long as I’ve played guitar, over 40 years. So I doubt one will “own” any song penned by another, given the vast amount of time “ownership” actually takes.

But if your point is simply that playing and improving is more important than buying a bunch of guitars, I think everyone would agree. |

Im not trying to flatter you -but actually being a great player is more important than owning a great guitar -I think you have it in a nut shell -
many of the folks here spend alot of money on their guitars but really are not masters of them. Practice, practice , practice -and make it yours - Your one smart person !!!!

I find that the amount of guitars I own has nothing to do with the amount of songs I can write or learn. But maybe I'm weirdly not attracted to false choices and bathtub philosophy.

How much money one spends shouldn’t concern any outside of his immediate family. It also isn’t related to mastery of the instrument or lack thereof. His point was “owning” a song. One can own a great guitar and feel that they can “own” a song. Perception is reality and one can have both, either, or neither and it’s their opinion that matters. Knocking people with fine instruments and linking it too poor playing (“not masters of them”) seems very familiar and never goes down well with me.
