Just how many guitars do you own?

[Rodger Knox]

For those that don't know, et al means "and others".
The others are:
1967 Gibson B-25-12
1968 Red Label Yamaha, inherited from my best high school friend.
Mid 70's Ibanez copy of Gibson J-200, an actual lawsuit guitar w/ Gibson's open book headstock
Sitka/Birdseye maple slope shoulder dred of my own creation, soon to be for sale.
Redwood/bloodwood nylon string of my own creation.
That's 6 acoustics...
1966 Vox Ultrasonic
Late 90's Hagstrum, similar to an SG
Late 90's Mexican strat
Late 90's Rickenbacker 360/12
Flying Vee copy of my own creation
Violin shape hollowbody electric of my own creation
That's 6 electrics, and a
1967 Vox violin shape bass
There's a couple more under construction, but they'll probably be for sale when completed. I don't play much, some of these haven't been played in months. I did play them all when I moved into a new house a couple of years ago, but most of them have been stored in their cases since then. I play mostly guitars I've built, but my J-50 is out on a hanger and gets as much play as the others.

Let's see,

6 acoustics, the 2 that are not listed in my signature are cheapies that I have had since grade school and junior high.

2 electrics one of which is listed in the signature. The one not listed is a no name that was my first electric.

One Kala ukulele.

I'm still here. I was here there first month. I want to say my user number was 47 until we had a database corruption a few months later. I had to re-sign-up and ended up 1182.

In order:

1. Yes;
2. Yes, some less often than others;
3. Depends on the sound I'm after for a particular situation;
4. '82 Ovation Custom Balladeer/Martin D-15S - open mic with/without DI; Rainsong JM1000/JM3000 - my all-around stage 6-/12-string guitars; Avalon A-201 - fingerstyle

[Bridgepin]

I have 13, for the most part if I am going in to my music room for any length of time I have 6 that I will always reach for first.

I have a few that are in open tuning's it's just easier to pick up that guitar and play than change the tuning every time

I have two that I would say are my main guitars a Collings D3H and a Martin D-41.

[Bear Davis]

Been scaling down the past few months. Started with 32 and now I am at 21 and suspect I will be at 18 by summer time.

I do play them all. Not everyday but I do get to each one every week.

[BrunoBlack]

I own 10 and like them all. They all get played regularly.

[stormin1155]

About 40 including acoustics, electrics and basses. Of those I keep 30 out... 10 or so I play pretty regularly, 10 or so I play occasionally, 10 or so I just like to look at. Then I have 10 or so put away that I drag out once or twice a year just to make sure they are OK. Then I have a few that I have picked up for cheap or free that I fix up and give to people who need a guitar but can't afford one. I don't count those in the 40 or so.

[DenverSteve]
