No, this is not another one of those: OMG, Another POLL??!?!?!?

No, I was just curious in the SG 101 Family; the majority of us have at least
one guitar. Lots of us have (an xtra for a backup on stage in case U no watt )
But I was wandering just how many of us have: MORE THAN 3.....
Whether it be: Just because YOU WANT 3! LOL! Or whether you are a collector,
or you have 3 guitars from the era that you grew up in, etc........
....So.....HOW MANY OF US HAVE 3 OR MORE GUITARS in their ROUNDUP for
whatever reason?? But, HERE'S the CATCH!
U gotta EXPLAIN WHY you have MORE THAN 3!!!
Hey, I didn't say this was going to be easy LOL!

p.s. I didn't get my name for no reason at all.....
.......I had to earn it!!

14 guitars, 6 basses, 12 amps, mostly Fender but there are a few oddities to keep things interesting. I've actually sold a few in the past couple of months to get the inventory down to a more reasonable level. And yes, they all get played from time to time although I do have a couple of special favorites that get the lion's share of use.

Why so many? I don't have a clue. Maybe because they are less expensive and aggravating than women and almost as fun to play with? Plus the old ones have turned out to be excellent investments. The guitars, not the women.

Over 10 guitars, and just about as many amps. Some vintage,
some not. I bought them for different tones and applications,
plus I'm a collector of things that I'm into. I haven't really
bought anything as an investment, but some of these things
have really appreciated in value. I don't really plan on buying
additional gear, but if something reaches out and grabs me,
who knows? Do I NEED all this stuff? Hell no! But I enjoy the
heck out of it, and unless I'm forced to, I can't imagine getting
rid of most of this great gear.

Ha, what a question Dennis, I'd be betting just about everybody here has 3 or more guitars...

For me, alas only 5, Tele, Strat1, Strat 2, Jazzmaster, Ibenez Acoustic Bass, and looking, all the time looking.

I almost forgot my acoustics, ha, 1 Maton M225 Dreadnaught wired and fired, 1 really old beat up to the shit Yamaha classical that would be nigh on 30 years old or more, I don't know, can't really remember when it was bought, sometime in the mid to late '70's.

I am probably guilty of guitar greed. A sad affliction, really.

In fact I just got another, a Hallmark Swept-Wing Custom. Nice sounding guitar, BTW. Very nice.

Though at one point I counted 23 guitars, I have thinned it out substantially and now have nine including the lap steel and the bass. Three of those are totally expendable. Maybe four.

The thing is I always play a primary guitar so the rest invariably somehow devolve into a state of disrepair.

Is this a trick question, or what? At first, I thought I was more into the amps than I was into the guitars but it seems as if I currently have twelve of each:

3 Jazzmasters
1 Jaguar
1 Strat
2 Telecasters
1 Les Paul
1 Hallmark Custom 60
1 P Bass
2 Acoustics

5 Showman Amps
2 Bandmasters
1 Bassman
1 Twin Reverb
2 Epiphones
1 Silvertone

1 Kustom PA

All my amps were made between '62 and '72. The best overall one is the '68 Showman with the Torres inspired mods and the EV-15Ls. I counted about 20 misc speakers lying around. My basement is really quite a mess. I feel right at home there.

Now, what guitar do I pick up first? AVRI Jazzmaster #1. It beats the crap out of everything else I have, hands down.

Oh, I just remembered, I have an Acoustisonc Jr. over at Woody's house.

Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps?

Yeah, I'm with Surfgitar........Just because.

We have a great relationship at my house. What's upstairs is hers and what's downstairs is mine....mine...............mine..................mine......hahahahahahahahaha!

Oh, did I say I like dirt bikes too.....that's another issue.

Strat-o-rama
Ten Guitars, including a Hallmark Custom 60 on it's way.
Why? They all sound different, and because I love most types of American Roots music, especially guitar driven styles, they all serve different purposes.

Same here. 5 electrics. JM, Jag, my lipsitick equipped avenger with 5 way switching for strat tones, my austin special for anything you'd cover with a dano or tele, and my Hamer Diablo for humbucking stuff. It looks like a metal machine but it's a dead ringer for an SG tone wise with your eyes closed. JB in the bridge, 59 in the neck with 5 way switching for coil splitting and the most amazing build quality you can imagine. Only cost me around $500 for a handmade US guitar. Okay so it has 24 frets, a floyd rose and a reverse headstock

AVRI Jazzmaster
AVRI Strat
40th Anniversary Strat
Late 80's MIJ Strat
Epiphone Dot
Danelectro U2
Yamaha Nylon Classical
Epiphone Biscuit Resophonic

Really only play the AVRIs and the acoustics on a regular basis.
