How many guitars have you owned, in your life?

[Maynar]

I have an acoustic. Fendersomething. Oh yeah- T Bucket model. No big shakes, but I like it. Sounds okay.

I have two Vintage brand Lemon Drop models. I plan on using one of them soon for a mod project, just haven't decided which one to use yet. I'll leave the other one stock, I like the way they sound.

I have a red Jackson DK2S, until recently would be my housefire guitar.

I have a Partscaster, surf green with a maple neck. Well set up, with pickups I really like. I do enjoy it.

My most recent real score was my ebony 2008 LP Standard. Totally my Number One now. Ask me nice and I'll post a link.

But shoot, in the 80s I had a blue Kramer F-6000, the briefly EVH endorsed model. I did all my gigging with that thing. And a '77 JMP 100w. Modded the hell out of both and had great fun doing it.

Before that, I remember an old white Squier strat and if you really wanna go back, an El Degas Hummingbird copy, a Teisco-style 4 pickup bastard sold under the headstock name AGS. And that pretty much takes me back to 14 years old.

I could go further but I'm thinking that would just embarass us all. So that's, what, (counts on fingers) ten guits in my life?

FWIW, I don't feel deprived or anything.

I still own over 50. I don't flip them, and have only sold 3 (and one of those three is currently for sale) over the years. Stock answer to my wife, when she asks the question, "Oh, I dunno, a dozen or so..."

Around 39 or 40 with 19 remaining. The one I've had the longest is the Les Paul I bought 33 years ago.
looks like a saga of increasing disposable income as I get older...

 

[Dutchy5150]

I own 30 right now but I have a Ibanez Paul Stanley PS120 on order and I'll be getting the EVH Star when its released, so that will take me to 32.

All up, I've had at least 60 -70 in my playing life.

 

[TP6]

I've probably owned about 30 guitars since I've started playing.


About a dozen amps and a crap ton of pedals too

 

[Left Paw]

Since 1978, I have owned hundred, especially if one counts those bought to re-sale. In any event many hundreds. But I always come back to Gibson and the LP specifically. Which is why I am here....

You guys have some gear...I got my first guitar in 1975. I have owned 12 all in, and still have 4 in house and one being built. Dull, I know, but they are like children....

Wow.... the gerbil,is spinning wildly in my head.

In the last 30 odd years.... I MUST have had close to 300 pass through my grubby paws.
