How many guitars do you own?

I wanna play...

Suhr S4
Warrior Isabella
PRS S2 Mira
Les Paul Studio Pro
ESP LTD MH-1000 Evertune
JTV 69
Brian Moore i21.13
Washburn Tabu w/ Deathbucker pickups
Squier Tele

2 Alvarez Acoustic/Electrics

Lakland 55-02
Lakland 44-01 Fretless
Lakland Decade
MTD KZ5
Fender Precision

And a drum set
 
I have exactly the right number of guitars. For me.

Which is 3 electrics, 1 acoustic and 1 bass. Strat (warmoth), PRS CE22, LP Studio, Maton EM325 and a Warwick Thumb 5. Covers a huge amount of sonic territory. If I get guitar GAS it's only to upgrade say the PRS to a P22 or the Strat to a P90 setup. Not to add to the herd.

The Bass and Acoustic I'll probably pass on to my kids in my will.
 
I have eleven.
Out of those eleven only six have anything less than 7 strings and 27" of fret boards.
All of them tuned differently from F# to standard E. All of them with different pickups configs except for a nazgual and sentient duplicate combo which live on an agile 8 string and my ibanez 7 string.

That's more or less my way of thinking. I don't collect, I use, so if I need something different I chew on that thought for a long while and then trade one and acquire the next.
I currently play a Hagstrom Viking, which is an awesome all-round humbucker semi-hollow guitar with an excellent range of sounds that cover from jazz to rock without a sweat.
My other current guitar is a Parker P-38 with Bare Knuckle's Irish Tours and a Black Dog for the bridge. Beautiful deep single coil sounds with a touch of growl in the bridge. It's also a fantastic all-rounder with the added bonus of the acoustic piezo. Super versatile.
I also have a Camps solid-body half-width spanish (classic) guitar with Fishman electronics and I play a Cort Artisan B-5 bass with a country rock band I rehearse with.

I was about to buy a 50th anniversary Fender Jazz Bass V, but the change of gear got in between, and the AX8 ate it. I got it for a good friend though :)
 
I have around 30 guitars, basses, electrics and acoustics. I have 6 and 7 string electric and acoustic guitars and 4 and 5 string electric basses. I really need to sell most of my 7 string guitars because I never use them. I bought most of my 7 string guitars 10 years ago before I found out I have Celiac Deisease (Yup no Gluten for me!) because I really thought I was dying and was down to almost 90lbs.

I have to admit, I have a weakness for good deals and I'm just too good at finding them. I buy guitars like women buy shoes. I have some models in every color they make.

To be honest, I think being addicted to buying gear is probably one of the better addictions to have because you can always sell your gear and get back some of the money you lost on bad decisions :rolleyes: I know many couples that argue about their significant other buying music gear but they don't understand that most people don't buy things that have a decent resale value like music gear does, examples: TV's, Cell Phones, Tablets, Computers, Software, Music, Clothes, Shoes, Knickknacks... Also, if you keep your music gear long enough, sometimes it sells for more than you bought it for. :D
 
3 electrics: les Paul, strat and a Suhr modern
1 acoustic: ibanez art core.

I'm a full-time musician. These 4 guitars cover everything I need in my day to day. I borrow anything else if necessary.
 
1 ea. handmade Marler Classical, Acoustic, Strat, 5 electrics, 2 basses, 1 dobro, Mullen 10 string Steel guitar.
 
15 right now but I would like to move about 10 of them to get three custom builds on my mind. I've had so many over the years, buying, selling trading etc... Had over 50 at one point and someone mentioned, the upkeep on too many guitars is expensive and time consuming. Even in temperature control and kept in cases those strings die. For me a number between 5-10 is ideal, alas though I am a gear whore so it always goes over.
 
A blackmachine copy, thinline tele, an ltd, no name strat that's currently disassembled, acoustic, j bass, not as many as some of you but looking back I don't even remember how I got to this point...
 
I'm not a collector either, I'd feel bad if there weren't fresh fingerprints on literally every guitar every week.

In order of newest to oldest:

Mcinturff Carolina Custom in Korina (no NGD post on this because I didn't put it down long enough)
