Members pluginbabies Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 So, I've got 9 electrics, maybe not many compared to some guys on here, but I need some space, so have to thin the herd. However, it's like selling your children so give me your opinions on what I should get rid of - looking to sell at least 3. I won't give you any info on anything sentimental about these so you can give me a rational opinion!

Members dmc69 Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 First thing I notice is that you have 2 white LP customs. Methinks you coud start there by selling one of them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, dump the Epi LP custom. Who wants a rosewood board on an LP Custom anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deadllama Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'd get rid of the non-Gibson Les Pauls, unless the ones you have are somehow very tonally different from your two Gibsons. I'm in the same boat myself. I'm trying to get rid of a bunch of lower-end guitars and buy a couple of nicer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kap'n Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 nine guitars, and not a single one with single coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SrMeowMeow Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Keep the Variax. The Hohner looks badass, keep it. Keep one of the Gibsons unless you play both regularly, and sell all the other Les Pauls unless one of them really offers something the others don't. I imagine you'll keep the home build, and the Dot is a option to have. If you love the Tele, keep it. Otherwise, set it free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 These two for a start, as you have better but similar in other guitars there. Gibson 50's Tribute Humbucker - Honey burstEpiphone Les Paul Custom - Alpine White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pluginbabies Posted June 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 No single coils - well, the Squier has p90s and the homebrew has taps. The variax covers strat and tele sounds when I need them. Used to have an American std strat a while back, but couldn't justify it for how little I played it. Some of the LPs definitely have to go. Thinking the 50s tribute, the Epi custom and the hohner - it does look badass but is bolt on and doesn't get played when I've got all the rest. The 08 standard only arrived last week, that's staying!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreatDane Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 if it were me, I would keep the Epi Dot, the gibson LP Standard, the Edwards LP Custom, the Variax and the Squier Tele. if i really wanted to go thinner, then i'd probably keep the Gibson LP, the Epi dot and the Variax. So, I've got 9 electrics, maybe not many compared to some guys on here, but I need some space, so have to thin the herd.

Members Danhedonia Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 Keep your favorite.Keep one of the Gibsons (which may overlap with the line above).Keep the Tele.Keep the Dot*. * - unless you're looking at purchasing a hollow body or semi; in which case sell it, you can do better for not much more. That means you've kept 4 at most, and should be able gain some space and cash. You will ALWAYS miss a guitar you enjoy playing, so just rationalize away the pain of loss or scrap the project.

Members elsupermanny14 Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 If it were me, I would sell the Variax, the Epi Custom, and the 50's Tribute. After I was done selling those, I would then go out and buy a Strat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
