I like different sounds but am trying to restrict myself to one guitar of each type - one do-it-all electric (strat); one jazzer, one nylon and one steel acoustic. Oh, and a flamenco, of course. Everyone should have a flamenco guitar

but of course

made my own, latin flamenco fusion in maple / spruce.
very slightly radius to the f/board and narrower, slimmer, more rounded neck, not as wide s/spacing - basically all slightly modified to my own taste being a steel string / flat top player.
Fish glue and french polish throughout.
Heres a friend playing it.

guitars are not impossible to build guys, you just need the WILL and somewhere to do it, it's the same 'process' as becoming a player.

So you are 'trying' to restrict yourself to 5 guitars. ....at this minute, that's 4 more than me.
Pick one .....no pressure

It was a joke.

I haven't posted it for sale yet but if you have any interest in a brand new Taylor 712ce let me know!

forgive me if Im misunderstanding all this acquisition syndrome but I'm being reminded of a certain materially driven ubber pro worship guitar site over the pond and their endless lists of 'possessions' (usually in their signatures), and all with very little (music - if any) to show for it - it's all just expensive bit's of dead trees, maybe that's the actual point ?.
there I said it.

The point is............................. Bragging rights,

that is all,

There is nothing wrong at all with the showing of, and even not really playing them apart from copying your favourite guitarists.

The issue for me is the crap that gets spouted about purity, mythical pickups, hearing a difference in types of rose wood fingerboards..... On an electric lol

Guitars sounding sterile hahha bugger off its your fingers that are sterile not the guitar!
Mocking others for buying far eastern guitars, usually all to cover up the ineptability to play but making the guitar a priority and not the music and playing it.

right on strangefan
I posted a sound clip on my eastern made copy to a BIG forum and they thought it was a Collings !! - I doubt any of them actually heard 'the music'.

Yep, GAS can be quite pernicious and you end up spending more time looking at new guitars than actually working out new songs/pieces to play.

Having said that there are so many lovely instruments to look at and play these days, temptation is all around.

Howdy, Stranger!
