For now I had to go with two, but then again, I only just got started with the guitar.
I currently own a Fender CD60CE acoustic with preamp and a MIM Fender Standard Stratocaster.

When I get better and more comfortable playing (and when I have the money *sigh*) I do hope and plan to expand the collection though. A few of the guitars on my wishlist are:
- a decent solid top acoustic
- a Telecaster style electric
- a Les Paul style electric

I haven't decided on brands or models yet for these though I'm sure I'll go with Fender again for the Telecaster. There's also not a doubt in my mind that this list will be growing a lot in the future....

So that's why you spend so much time out of the country. :shock: There's no room in your digs for you :!: :roll:


There is something to that. I really need more space and I never get to the beach anymore so maybe I should buy a small house somewhere inland.

BTW -- My trip to Holland has been canceled. :(

The problem with me is space.
So i 've been selling guitars.

Thanks Flatpicker310, the Martin is a 1977 D-19, I bought new. It is more than just a shaded D-18 as some think. I was told by a senior executive at Martin in '78 that it has a upgraded D-28 top.

I have two questions: One serious and one, well, sorta serious...

1. For those of you that own 5, 6, 7 or more guitars and aren't professional musicians; how do you decide which guitar to sit down and play for the few minutes or hours a week that you have between work and kids and everything else?

2. How do you get the wife onboard?

Ha ha.....you don't. The way I see it, I was playing the guitar before I met you so it is what it is.

I tell her they are works of art to me. Art collector doesn't sound so odd!

I have ten guitars and the way I decide what to play is which ever one is speaking to me at the time.

The guitar I play depends on my mood, the song or songs I'm playing, or the style of music I'm playing. Some songs just sound better on certain guitars.

I have 7 guitars, my wife always complains that there's too many guitars in the house, she always complains that we have more guitars than we do kids....

I agree with Seanboy. I play different guitars for different styles of music, mood, etc. Get my wife on board? Heck she's the one that tells me I need a different style guitar! OK, so she used to say that. Now, she knows that guitars and music are a big part of who I am so when I buy a new guitar or new equipment, she justs sighs, pats me on the head, and says "you poor, poor thing." :lol:

As a husband and dad, I rarely buy myself things, so when I do, she feels like I deserve it. I normally try to buy guitars on special occasions like my birthday, Christmas, or if I get a bonus or do on the side contract work. Other gear is normally due to "wildhair syndrome."

One more thing, once you have accrued a good many guitars, you'll find some that you don't like as much as you did when you bought them and then you can sell or trade for a different guitar or amp, etc. without spending family money. It's called GAS and most of us get it. :lol:

1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom ( cherry )
1982 Yamaha CJ 818 SB
1986 Fender Squier FrankenStrat ( natural )
1990's Rickenbacker 650 Frisco ( rare as heck )
1990 Fender American Stratocaster Plus ( sunburst / the go to axe )
2001 Aria Pro LP Clone ( cherry w/Seymore Duncans)
2003 Epiphone Riviera ( cherry )
2006 Cort CJ 10X-12 ( 12 string )
2009 Epiphone Dot ( 335 clone, black )
2011 Hofner Beatle bass ( black )

And of course I am always looking for the next one......
