How many guitars do you own?

[Yamaholic]

Hi,
My first post. Been playing on a Fender 140CD-SCE since March really nice (and cheap) dread.

Just expanded my Guitar family with another dread a Recording King RD-318, an absolute steal of a guitar at £400 (B-stock). If it had a satin neck it would be perfect, much more complex sounding tone to my ear. Anyway, back in the box she goes. Not allowed to touch her again til Christmas...

15 acoustic guitars: 9 steel-stringed, one nylon stringed, one arch top, one baritone, one half-sized, one 12-string, one harp guitar
3 resonators: one National Duolian, 2 squareneck dobros
1 Weissenborn
3 electric lap steels
5 mandolins
1 mandola
1 octave mandolin
1 mandocello
2 irish bouzoukis
3 five-string banjos
1 tenor banjo
2 ukes
1 upright bass
1 electric bass
1 acoustic bass
1 dulcimer
1 autoharp

That makes 42 stringed instruments, 19 being acoustic guitars.
I would say 20 of 42 them are played regular.
It's fun having them.

Howdy, welcome to the board!

Congratulations on the new guitar!

Curious, which Fender CD-140SCE did you get. Does it have Ovangkol for back and sides with a Walnut fretboard/bridge, or is it the earlier model with Rosewood back/sides along with a Rosewood fretboard and bridge?

I have exactly two guitars. The first one I ever made and one my father made for me. I’ll never part with either. I put 1 for the poll because I only play the one I made. (My dad loves a huge neck!)

Well, I'll say this. I owned three when I joined the forum back in 2014. I now own more than ten. And four mandolins. This place is dangerous to my financial health.

Yes. Sadly, my next guitar is going to cost around $50,000. Maybe more. Or possibly the one after next, I'm not quite sure yet.

I don't know what sort of guitar it will be yet, it could be almost anything, but maybe a nice big traditional dreadnought (perhaps a D-18, a Maton Custom Shop Flatpicker, a made-in-Japan Takamine, or any of dozens of others). Or maybe something in a maple jumbo; I'd really like a maple jumbo. Or possibly a brass tricone resonator. Or just the random thing I happen to see in a shop somewhere and fall in lust with. But whatever it is, it will cost a heap - as things stand I have pretty much reached the limit of how many guitars I can leave lying around the house and maintain domestic peace, so the next one is going to mean calling in the builders to add a couple of extra rooms.

I know it's an old thread/poll, but like so many others, I've opened the wallet way too many times in pursuit of the shiny objects we know as guitars. As I type this, I have 30 guitars, and one being built.

Anyone want to buy a guitar?

[Jodythebaker]

8, all acoustics - 1 of which has been referred to on this forum as “firewood”.

[HillTone]

I have 15, but I still don’t have (in no particular order) an OM, a Rickenbacker 12 string, a Jaguar, an SJ200, a Goodall, a flamenco negra, a D35, a cowboy parlor guitar, an SG, any kind of banjo, a p bass, a Rick bass, a Gibson F style mandolin...my lady is gonna murder me before I die.

But to be fair, I play more when I only have one or two close at hand. Have enough decision fatigue in my life.

I think some of us need a 12-Step Program.

I have 13 acoustics and 15 electrics, so 28.

I have 13 amps too.

[mawmow]

I onced owned twenty six strings instruments, including
a tricone and a banjitar : So began to miss room !

I have sold many, bought some others and will sell some more
as I do not play these much and have to move this Spring.

But I also have some others I plan to try after moving,
maybe buying one or two.

I play fingerstyle on nylon and orchestra models and keep some
in alternate tunings : I would be happy with "only" ten guitars.

[emtsteve]

6 or 7 is what I voted. I'd like to get down to 3 acoustics and the strat. So my answer is "a couple guitars too many".

[jmkratt]

"A couple too many"?

I don't even know what that means
