For me, when I get a guitar I love, there's just none other I'd rather play. I get everything I want out of just that guitar. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to cover different styles using different guitars. I'll do that via PU selection/vol/tone knob jockying, and the amps/effects combos in the Axe III. And I don't play much in the way of Fendery tones, other than Pink Floyd. Covering his solos accurately, makes up for not getting super-close to the tone.Curious about the virtues versus the vices debate regarding owning multiples of
the same guitar. What say you all??
It was that way when I was in my teens/20's with my LP Custom Silverburst. I wanted a LP Custom, and when I saw a Silverburst at Chuck Levin's, while shopping for a pro clarinet, I knew that was the color I wanted. And I bought another new one in the 2000's, but later sold it.
When I got my PRS CU24, that eclipsed the LP (except for songs where the PRS didn't have the natural sustain.) Then once I got back into playing, and became serious about not wanting any part of the guitar to limit me, I fell in love with the Majesty.
Picked the Enchanted Forest for the color. Love it so much, when I saw the Honey Butter 20th, I just had to have it. Although the other purchases were made pretty quickly after I started gassing, I really took my time with this one, just to make sure I'd be ok with the financial part, because it's getting up to the edge of my comfort zone. And even I asked myself, "Why have just another of the same guitar?"
But the best answer is, because I love the Majesty that much, I instantly fell in love with the color of the 20th, and I can.
If I decide to gig again (and it's looking that way, since my rededication to all this practice is really starting to show results), I'll probably use them for different tunings, since changing tunings on a floating trem, even during a set break, is a pain.
