How Many Guitars Do You Own?
Inspired by a thread on another forum. Theres an 11 year old thread on RRF asking the same but I thought I'd update it.
How many guitars (Rickenbacker and non) do you own?
I've got 6:
Rickenbacker 325c58 modified to 2-control
Rickenbacker 330
Highway 1 Stratocaster (Musikraft boat neck, custom electronics) -- my #1
Epiphone Broadway with Bigsby
Jay Turser Violin Bass
Epiphone EJ-160e
I'd actually like to pare the collection down further...something nice about bonding with just a few guitars.

The answer is too many.

Though to be fair to her I do have quite a few....

Re: How Many Guitars Do You Own?
Mid-90's Fender USA Telecaster
Hand-made, maple, bolt-on neck Silverburst SG Copy
J. Mascis Signature Fender Jazzmaster (the purple one, not the Squier)
Early 80's Daion Savage
PW Custom 1990 Rickenbacker 4003
Fender Japan Deluxe Jaguar Bass
That makes 6, not including my wife's and my son's electrics.

And not being a working musician, I realize that is insane.

Re: How Many Guitars Do You Own?
Do my violin, dulcimer, tremeloa, and bouzouki count here? Or is this strictly for guitars?
All I wanna do is rock!

I maintain that there's no such thing. Too little space/time/money, perhaps.collin wrote:That depends... do projects count?
The answer is too many.
At 47 and also not a working musician (or even gigging at this point), I'm apparently significantly more insane.Tommy wrote:17

About 25% Ricks, 25% Fender, 25% Gibson, 25% "other". (All players, not a "collection".)
Life is suffering; the cause of suffering is desire. Envy is a deadly sin. Save your soul, go ahead and buy another one....

If we're counting other instruments: this will get crazy; I definitely own more drum sets than stringed instruments...kiramdear wrote:Do my violin, dulcimer, tremeloa, and bouzouki count here? Or is this strictly for guitars?
