Thanks guys, it's by far the best 2-TSB I've ever seen or owned, when I saw it for the first time, I knew she was for me.

Hehahaha. My wife has already started giving me that "tone of voice" when I talk about getting another one. :D

I've got my '85 $@! Strat, an Ibanez Jumbo Acoustic, an Acoustic/Electric Takamine, 1979 Gibson Dove Custom (gift from her parents), and a Voyage Air VAD-1 (I travel a lot for work).

What I'd like to round the collection out with is one of Voyage Air's folding electrics, but I also fly 4-6 days a week for work. You'd also be extremely surprised as to how good their guitars sound.

Back in the day when I was gigging I needed 3. a jazz bass, a P bass, and a fretless. I had 17. Most of those were older fenders, that today would be vintage keepers, Who knew! I also had a Ric, some 5 strings, and 4 or 5 that were in a rotation of coming and going. My Grandson now has my old fenders and my needs are much simpler but different. Now I need a Roscoe Beck 5 and a Tony Franklin fretless and that covers my needs. I still love to get new stuff now and then but I usually trade now so I don't go over my self imposed limit of 5 at a time. A couple of guitars, a banjo, and my roland V drums and my golden years are golden.
Later........Tom

You really can't put a number on how many. It depends
on many factors and applications that you use them for.
If you do studio work or even home recording, it helps to
have a variety that have different sounds and tones. YMMV.

I built a hide-away closet for my guitars back when I built the music room - pine walls and ceiling, racks to keep the cases off the floor. Lots more in there now than when these pictures were taken.

The 90s vintage molded Fender cases...

... with labels, so I know what's in them.

Hi, This is my first ever post on this forum. My first Strat was a white mexican standard bought many years ago. I sold that (probably a mistake) and bought speaker cables with the money (still got the cables and they still sound great!).
Currently I have a Fender acoustic guitar (solid top), I can't remember how many years I've had this but definitely more than 10 - still sounds great but probably need some fret attention!
My strats are a HSS Sienna Sunburst which I bought 5 years ago or so with money I got from my late grandfather, so it's kind of special and I have just bought a 60th anniversary strat. I remember looking wistfully at the silver anniversary strats when I was a boy so I thought it was about time that I had an anniversary model! Both have maple fingerboards as did my mexican one. My amp is a blues junior 3.
Both current strats are great but I prefer the 9.5 inch radius on the sienna strat. One day I hope to order custom shop Strat (probably with my retirement cheque so I have a 17 year wait!!!). If they can do a midnight blue colour which is the strat I couldn't afford when I bought the mexican strat.

Hey fastdaddy welcome to the forum.

That's a pretty good story of your devotion to Fenders. I hope you get that CS someday too.

The 60th Anniv are really nice, I thought it was a 9.5" radius.

Hi dnangos the standard 69th anniversary start is a compound radius 9.5 to 14 inch. The depth of the neck is also a bit shallower than a standard neck. I never knew I had a preference for neck radius' just that I like maple fingerboards!
