You can never sell them. $5000 or under (can be used prices to get creative)

Is that max 5k each, or 5k total allowance ?

I promise to never sell it. What would be the point?

Each? Or, total for all three. If the latter, I'm out.

Already achieved and based on Total, not Each.

'14 Taylor 818e sitka/rosewood Grand Orchestra
'16 Taylor 412e-R SE sitka/rosewood Grand Concert
'16 Taylor 458e-R sitka/rosewood 12 string Grand Orchestra

(2 were bought used.)

The 818e is my desert isle guitar.

I believe Jayson Bowerman's base is in the limit. Maybe a pair of OMs or an OM and an SJ as every Breedlove Revival I've seen with his signature has been remarkable. Maybe a Furch for the third? I love their neck and we could do some damage to the wood stash at that number. All of them built light, airy, and visually clean/spare. If I had the 15k to put into a single instrument, I'd be all over the usual suspects here (Ben and Bruce, squinting hard in your general direction), but I think I'd be utterly delighted with the set outlined above.

Nope...three doesn’t work for me. I got two for less than $5,000 and couldn’t be happier (see sig).

I guess my thinking goes against the grain of the consumerist mindset that dominates but is it really meant to be a challenge to choose three guitars with a budget of $5,000 each?

Playing the game, I'm quite content with my D-28 and Telecaster. If I had to buy a third guitar I'd probably plump for a nice Spanish nylon classical. Possibly one of the mid-range Jose Ramirez guitars.

An American strat and two Gibson J 45's an old one and my 99 rosewood.
Then all kinds of different strings, capos, amps and picks.
