Guitars: how many and brands?

[David McCarroll]

Actually I'll pose a side question in this thread - yeah, yeah, most of us have more nice guitars than you could poke a skateboard at, but if they all had to go but for one, which one would that be?

My Suhr Custom Modern that's in my avatar, no doubt.

Collings City Limits, no question.

I'd really miss something with single coils and the 2 and 4 positions though.

My Les Paul. Easily.

It's not even particularly special in anything like an objective way (2019 Gibson Standard, not CS)...it's just my favorite. I've played custom shops, and I've played a few vintages ones ('52 standard, '60 junior, '69 custom). I do like the feel/texture of the finish on the old ones better, but...mine's still my favorite.

Almost 4 years later I have added:

Tom Anderson Lil Angel
Tom Anderson Hollow Drop Top
Kiesel Delos

And sold:

1987 Ibanez S540 Pro Carribean Blue
1988 Ibanez S540 Pro Carribean Blue
1987 Ibanez S540 Pro Black Cherry
1987 Ibanez 540 Power Red

I still have plenty of Ibanezes left...

Forgot that I also sold a 2013 PRS CE-24.

And added a Ibanez RG (unknown hardtail model) that I bought several years ago torn apart and poorly stripped and finally got around to refinishing and assembling:

Most likely one of my American Jacksons, and I'm leaning towards the white SL3.

But it would hurt leaving the Custom Shop behind.

Even in my time as a professional musician I only had three guitars.
My main guitar, a similar spare guitar to change them during gigs and a third guitar for different tunings.
And it’s like that still today (there is No.3 incoming soon) but some day maybe I get a good deal on a CS Tele.
When it comes to brands, I played nearly everything over the years including Gibson, PRS, Kiesel, Knaggs etc. but I always went back to my Fender Strats, the guitar that started it all for me.

How many guitars and brands do you own? GO !!!

I stick with Les Paul’s for tours. At home it’s a mix of Strats, Tele’s and a Kingfish Tele. I find the Kingfish Tele Deluxe an interesting mix of the 3.

How are you guys storing all of these guitars?

in the cases with humidifiers in the winter and dehumidifiers in the summer months. We get all 4 seasons where I live.
