My Taylor AD11e-SB acoustic is definite for me. Everything else is optional. I’ve got some nice electric guitars but not yet found the ones that you’d need to peel my cold dead fingers off yet!

There would definitely be something Explorer shaped though

My wife needs to read this thread. I’m at 7 guitars, and she thinks that’s crazy.
I tell her that everybody owns more guitars than me! :wink: (she doesn’t fall for it…)

The 4 I would keep from my collection

  1. Suhr Pete Thorn
  2. Music Man Majesty
  3. Les Paul Slash
  4. Music Man Cutlass SSS (heavily modified to be a “Gilmour Strat” style instrument)

Given my current style of playing it would have to be:
Cort Artist series Bass;
Modded Harley Benton Jazzmaster with P90’s, roller string trees, corian nut, Guyker trem and roller bridge;
JET JS60 HSS strat alike with Wilkinson hardware;
Telecaster (built from HB Kit), corian nut, fender string trees, Irongear vintage pickups, Wilkinson bridge and saddles.
All suit my needs despite being relatively inexpensive.

You need to have this conversation with your wife

You only need one guitar. The one you play the most :wink:
Mine would be my G&L Tele.
I’d pick my Katana 50, my PodGo, and Trio+ in lieu of the other three :smiley:

The best way to have your wife support a large guitar collection is to first start collecting sports cars…

Oh nooooo :scream: , do you have some pictures of your garage please ???
:rofl:

Resonator
12-string Acoustic
Les Paul
Strat

That should cover any music style I would ever want to play.

22

Well I only have 4 guitars and am quite happy with them a squire Strat LP blue,
Squire Tele polar white,a VG100GT Gibson type gold top & a gearformusic electro acoustic in sunburst. I would like a real Fender but as a bedroom player it would not warrant the expense.

Are we talking 4 fantasy guitars or 4 out of the ones we have now?

24

I like these kind of games. They’re fun.
Rob, I’m listing the ones I got. No idea if they’d by my fantasy guitars though. Might be though as I really do like what I got for not having expensive guitars.

I like the guitars I have granted none of them are likely something that is desirable.

I can kinda say I got 4 now. In reality, I got 5 but the 5th is only kind of a half a guitar.

What I got and like.
Reverend Double Agent W
Epiphone Casino (China)
Epiphone DR500-MCE
Alverez 5054 12 string (my original guitar)

My half a guitar is a '75 Gibson L-6S. I guess it was never a real desirable guitar and mine is even less so. Prior owner bastardized it w/emg pickups, got rid of it’s 6 way selector switch (replaced with a standard 3 way selector) and then drilled a hole on the end of it for side jack. The proper (original) top jack got turned into a volume pot for a normal gibson 4 pot set up.
Right now it’s benched. The pots are all scratchy and ya can barely find a place that will work on near any of the 4 pots. + the batt. is dead that powers the pickups.
I don’t play it.
Guess in all reality, I got 6 guitars now that I think about it. 6th is a ('64) Harmony H17 Bobkat. Red burst. I could do w/o that one too. In fact I do. Gave it to my boy. It’s out of sight, out of mind for me now.

So I comply with 4 guitars in my mind. They all play good and sound good, to me. I rotate though them. I’ll play this one today, that one tomorrow etc.
The 12 string gets played occasionally. When I feel the itch for a 12 string, which ain’t often.

fwiw, wife says I can’t have more guitars. I have enough (per her). I can fix the L6S though if I want (then I’d have 5).
I’m in no hurry for that at this moment since I like what I’m playing now…

OK I will go which 4 I have now and which 4 I would swap those for

1 - Maton Blackwood EBW70C

This is a Dred sized acoustic electric made out of Australian blackwood, Queensland Maple and a streaky Ebony fret. Feels great sounds fantastic.

Would I swap it with anything? Perhaps a Maton Australian EA80C, or an old Taylor/Gibson 40/50s acoustic?

2 - Epiphone Slash Anaconda burst Les Paul - probably a mid spec epi les paul as they go now, plays OK for lead tbh probably needs the nut redoing

Would swap for a real gibson R9 bust dirty lemon style or heritage or something similar lol

3 - Hohner Tobacco burst les paul, had this decades love it , not spendy or flash but looks cool and nice to play

4 - Self built Telecaster thinline - built to my spec by me so how could I not lol
