It’s taken nearly 40 guitars and nearly 15 amps…

[Tsjackson]

But I finally have a load of gear that I am absolutely over the moon with.

All have had various modifications, but for the first time in probably 17 years there is nothing I’d change about any of my gear. It’s also the first time in as many years that I’ve actually had 3 guitars, but I can’t part with any of them.

There are still guitars I’d like to try, and quite a few amps I’d like to try. But my search for Tonal Bliss has reached what I assume will be a brief end.

Now I can actually get round to playing them all a bit more than just reading and looking on eBay.

I’m sure they’re not to everyone’s taste, but I. Am. Stoked.



I am positive there are many people on here that can trump 40 guitars and 15 amps… what did you end up with?

Well.......I currently have just under 40 guitars and 6 amps but I've gone through well over 300 guitars.

I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not even chasing tone, I just want "all the guitars".

I found the perfect guitar for me a little over ten years ago but that didn't stop me from buying more.

12/5 and counting. I'm almost done, though ;-)

What's that Laney? SS or valve? Looks very nice.

Cool trio, are those F style guitars partscasters? I like the offset tele mashup.
I counted 42 guitars a couple weeks ago and have bought 2 more since then lol. Currently 5 amps. I plan on having a guitar garage sale the next time my wife goes out of town. She doesn't like people around, scared of being robbed, which I totally understand, but I can't ebay this stuff, it's just too much work and I don't want to pay them a cut.

 

[Stratbats]

Nice amp! I've often thought of getting a Laney.

Have 2 Strats and 2 amps (Vox, Princeton)

It’s a 5w lionheart, valve. It’s my favourite amp I’ve ever played, let alone owned.

The Strats a Japanese st-67 but with different plastics and pickups, and the offset is a partscaster.

I’m not sure I’d be able to control myself at a guitar garage sale… I’m happy to admit I have a gear buying problem but I feel it’s to early for something like that haha

I’ve had a few vox, Princeton is one I’d like to try

Will.

I take my hat of to you, I want them all too but unfortunately (or probably fortunately) I don’t have the space or money. What was yr perfect one?

I got the 65 Custom Hand Wired Princeton. Got a KTR on top of it. The Sound is incredible.

 

[Lucius Paisley]

I've lost count on what I've bought and sold, but it's a lot.

I'm quite pleased with the stuff I have now, but there are still other things I want to at least try.

The Red 61 RI. I'm not actually a fan of Red guitars and the Black one is an attempt to duplicate the magic in "Not Red".

However, Lil Red stands on top as being the best all around guitar I own/have ever owned.

I’ve felt like that in the past, and then been astonished at how quickly I’d do a u-turn and sell something/everything for a new something… this feels different. Although I too want to try other stuff (amps mainly)

Time will tell

Very nice, I love SGs

After 53 years of playing and multiple sales, trades and giveaways, I'm down to three inexpensive guitars and one amp. I'm pretty much retired out of the music industry so I have no need to continue chasing the headstock anymore.

In a way Lil Red is boring. All of the other guitars I got to modify or tinker with.

All the other guitars either needed something to hold my attention a little longer or weren't worth the effort and just sold off. The Red 61 is the only guitar I've ever kept stock (long term).

 

[Seamus OReally]

I’ll bet if I counted them all up, it might be like half that… maybe 20 guitars, maybe six amps, in there somewhere. I’m down to two guitars that I’m saving for my grandsons and one amp.

Roger that. Me, too.

 

[Cali Dude]

I have no idea how many guitars that I have been through. I have been pretty set for a while. I'm at 5 guitars and 5 amps now.

So you’re telling me the gas will never abate???
