I can only justify having one guitar...I don't have the space needed to keep multiple guitars away from rambunctious cats. However, I am in the exploratory/planning stages of a new guitar purchase, and it will have to be an instrument that will keep me happy for quite a while.

Wood guitars are great. They are works of art in many cases. Carbon fiber guitars are very practical, though Emerald seems to have made theirs as works of art. Everybody has different needs and interests. There are people who love to tinker with their guitars, doing setups, experimenting with all manner of strings, drilling sound ports, etc. I just want to pick them up and play them with minimal hassle. Carbon fiber guitars are a good fit for me, but likely not for somebody else. I really like Taylor guitars, and my McPhersons feel and play just like that. So for me, it is an easy transition. Tony

Definately gear satified (today)

I love my tuner - it is a cheap D'Addario mini headstock clip-on I love by strap blocks - one is a cheap Fender silicon washer and the other is a brass acoustic strap secure for an endpin jack. I love my strap - it is a handmade leather one. I love my strings - I'm using D'Addario NB in 12-56 light/medium I love my picks - My fav's are celluloid Fender 346 Extra Heavy I love my pick-up - I've installed a K&K mini. Oh, and I love my guitar - it is a Seagull S6 Spruce Coastline. Of course - any or all of the above could change at any time!!! |

Mostly satisfied. Poor for decades but now can afford a few nice things. Looking for just one more - Gibson J45 of some type.

Am really satisfied with my guitars, and could easily let half of them go. Even getting down to my 1950 Martin, RainSong, and Strandberg electric would be just fine. I suspect most of the others will wind up with my youngest son anyway. He’s graduating from UCSD this spring, a music major, and doing a lot or recording and production. So he’d have a great selection of instruments to play. IMO the key is getting the maximum enjoyment from what you have, and finding the ones that fit and inspire you the most. Also agree that carbon fiber guitars are nice for reducing worries about humidity and maintenance.

I too am losing gear right and left. Have sold 3 amps- a Vox and Fender and Marshall. Sold a 90s SG, sold a 2005 Gretsch, sold a Strat, sold a Taylor solid body, sold a Tele but bought another, sold a Heritage 535 and H150, sold a G&l,sold a PRS and sold a Breedlove and a Larrivee. Prob leaving out something like the 50 pedals I sold.
And yet I still have more equipment than I can play even with just a couple of elecs and a couple of acoustics left. What was I thinking all these years. |

I'm extremely happy with all my gear right now. I've said before though, usually followed almost immediately by a complete sell off and purchasing of all new guitars. But so far it seems to be taking. I'm very interested to see how long this run lasts.
