Everyone is stating how many guitars they have. No one is saying how many they think they need! Is that something we prefer to avoid discussing? 8)

No, it's because we all know the answer:

Just one more.

My wants OTOH......

Let's just say that my "GCS* level" is relatively high.

I want/ need 4 electrics, I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional Pro, a Gibson SG Standard, an American Standard Stratocaster, and my next one will be an American Standard Telecaster, then Im done buying guitars, after that Im getting a Marshall half stack and my GAS is complete. I have a nice Ibanez acoustic/ electric also. I cant play like I should own these high end ( at least to me ) guitars, but when I die , I will be the bada$$ uncle that left some awesome gear for my nephews.

How many? I know this much: it's an even number.
That's because if you are doing a gig and you break a string or get horribly out of tune during a song, you can grab your backup and carry on.

If only ever play a Strat, then I suppose all you need is 2 Strats. If you sometimes use a Les Paul or an acoustic as well, then you are up to 6. Etc etc.

Once you start buying older Strats and Teles you begin to notice how they all have a different character, different feel and different sound. When I'm recording and looking for the sound I hear in my head I know exactly which Strat is going to deliver it.

Having said that, my 1987 Standard Strat is the absolute all-rounder. So really the answer is I need one Strat but it's got to be the right Strat.

Although there's no harm in having five Strats. And at least one Tele.
