Feel free to limit yourself. I wouldn’t want you to think of yourself as extravagant.

I used to tell myself that I only needed one Martin.

I was wrong.

As most things with guitar - it depends... if all you need is one - then you're all set.

Best,
Jayne

You only need one acoustic guitar . . .

For sure! One for the couch, one for the office, one for gigging, one to just look at, one for air travel, one for camping . . .

The only acoustic guitar I had for over 20 years was a late 70's early 80's Yamaha FG350W.
However I had several electric guitars and amps for gigging and recording. Now I have just two acoustics and no electrics. I could easily get by with just one acoustic guitar though. I don't play out any more other than the occasional busking session.

Well I’m gonna to go then. And I don’t need any of this. I don’t need this stuff, and I don’t need you. I don’t need anything except this. And that’s it and that’s the only thing I need, is this. I don’t need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that’s all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that’s all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that’s all I need. And that’s all I need too. I don’t need one other thing, not one – I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that’s all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

With apologies to Steve Martin
