Topic: How many guitars?

How many guitars have other chordians got? I started off with a second hand e-ros dakota which was bought for me, but after learning from chordie forum, i realized that it was quite a hard guitar to play, the way it was set up. So...i didn't have much money,so i bought myself a cheap guitar called a woodstock which was much easier to play and that i could practice barre chords and the more difficult chords but because it's a cheap guitar it doesn't sound that great. So...now im looking for one a third time, one that sounds good is easy to play but a better quality. Bearing in mind i only play to myself, am i going too far wanting a 3rd guitar and if you think i am not, have you any suggestions?

Re: How many guitars?

I have a 12 string, one six string semi acoustic (Yamaha - very nice), and considering another one. Just bought an acoutsic amp today and have to save up. AND, I live alone with only my pet fish to listen to my wailings. :-)

You can get as many as you would like and can afford. I know someone who has 11 guitars, and he DOESN'T PLAY!

So there!

Re: How many guitars?

I don't believe there is any such thing as TOO many guitars ..there are numerous sounds that come from one manufactureer so my belief is you must have them all to get the sound you want for each song you perform.... just joking .... I have  10 and they range in price paid from $25 to $1500 and I am still looking.... most of them are acoustic ...love the tones....

So HOPEFUL go buy that other guitar and it doesn't have to  be expensive to be good ... some of the mid range guitars play as easy as the top end ...settle on the tone you want and the playability ease ... your choice ...no one else is correct when it comes to what you want.

Re: How many guitars?

I started playing 6 month ago and now I own 4 guitars (the wife's not too happy but she admits they look good on the livingroom wall...).

I have 2 metal six-string accoustics 1 noname (really cheap stuff) and 1 Tanglewood
1 electric Ibanez RG
Last week I bought a quarter size nylon mini acoustic (mostly for the 4 year old son but it's quite fun playing it).

Re: How many guitars?

1 Nylon (my first)
1 Western (a gift from a girl)
1 Telecaster copy (my first electric)
1 Les Paul copy (2nd)
1 Fender Jazzmaster

I usually only play the western guitar at home and the Jazzmaster at rehearsal, but the cheap nylon guitar is good for taking it to a park or whatever. For the cheap electrics I don't really have a good use, they are too bad compared to the fender to use them in the band and selling does also make no real sense, as guitars sold at 100 € nowadays are a lot better than these. Does anyone here collect rare japanese guitars? wink I guess I will need  a newer cheap electric that is not as heavy as the Fender and has a little more variability in its sounds ...

Re: How many guitars?

Me? I got two.
a yamaha classical, with which I take classical lessons, and An Ibanez acoustic that over twenty years old and still has pretty good sound and does not look aged barely at all.
I use 'em both, but definitely the acoustic more.
And I got them both for nothing.

I want to get a acoustic electric, but I'm not sure what kind yet.
