Members gardo Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I mostly do, I have a current favorite I focus on and ignore the othres. I was wondering if I should have a plan to play a different guitar every couple days or just follow my mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stormin1155 Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have 20+ guitars, and try to rotate through them fairly regularly, because I like them all. I really don't have an electric that is my constant go-to, but for acoustics, it is definitely my Martin OMCPA4. I play it almost every day. It plays and sounds great, and the smaller body size makes it more comfortable than my dreadnaughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 The guitar I play just about every day is my Jay Turser beater acoustic. POS with high action and poor intonation. Makes me appreciate my "good" guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I can't really plug in where I'm presently at (bummer, I know). So, I play my Martin D15S every day, preferably at the beach in the sun. I've lowered the nut and saddle and it plays like a dream and sounds like a canon as it's massive. It's a 12 fret dread so the upper body is extended by two frets. I ordered a Bugera V22 the other day so hopefully, within the next month, I'll have a place to plug in.

Members AJ6stringsting Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have over 14 guitars, it depends on what I'm working on or what bug bites me. Sometimes, I'll be in a Neo Classical shred / Classic 80's Metal mood and play my Kramers, Jacksons or my home assembled Super Strats with humbuckers and Floyd Rose trems. To do arpeggios, speed pick, speed legato, 8 fingered tapping or doing outrageous or melodic tremolo things.Of if the Blues / Funk bug bites me, I'll go for my Traditional Strats with Wilkinson Tremolos with locking tuners.One day, I was at a music store and this guy was playing some righteous Funk Style guitar, man that guy taught me some cool stuff to work on. I was on a Hendrix / SRV / Funk phase for a couple of months !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundcreation Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 Mine are on a strict 2 week rotation. No matter how much I'm enjoying playing one...when it's time is up it's back in the case and on to the next....then I find I'm enjoying THAT one...lol. the only exception is recording. Then I use the guitar that gives me the sound I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I play my old Martin 00-21 every day. Mainly because I leave it by the couch in my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members humbuckerstrat Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have 8 guitars, and I never know which guitar I'll want to play that day. One day it could be my SX Superstrat, and the next day it could be my Hohner hollowbody They all have different vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordite Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yes, the fatstrat is usually with me. The others get used when I need say LP sustain or 335 jangle but the strat is the old blue jeans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I've got a dozen guitars and play them as the mood strikes - often several in an evening. Some are tuned or played differently - twelve strings, resonators, lap guitars - and each has its own voice. One of the things I always do is check the humidifier in the case and replenish the water if its getting dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members speakerjones Posted September 4, 2014 Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have 17 electrics. My #'s 1-3 live at the studio, whatever they may be. It's been pretty steady for a few months with my Guild Starfire IV, G&L SC-3, and Jaguar handling recording and rehearsal duties. At home, I try to rotate through the rest when I practice. There are usually a few that are in repair mode. A couple I use mainly just for slide work. Right now, hanging up within quick reach are my Epi LP Custom, and an Ibby PF200.

Members wankdeplank Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 Nope but surprisingly or not, I tend to play nothing but my Strats of which I have four. I have six other quality electrics which tend to get a little neglected. Truth is I love em all and hope to break out of this Strat kick some day.

Members BeanoBoy Posted September 7, 2014 Members Share Posted September 7, 2014 As I find all of my guitars feel different and have specific challenges, I try to play my main 5 ( Les Paul Std., PRS Artist, PRS SE Custom, PRS SE Singlecut with Lollar P90s and a Nashville Tele) fairly regularly. I have a few that are "specialty" guitars ( e.g.. Dano 12 string) that I break out for recording mostly. I've just joined a band and I find my main 5 probably will be dwindled down to 2 for the gig. At home though, I'll keep rotating my main 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willyguitar Posted September 8, 2014 Members Share Posted September 8, 2014 At home a mixture although I go through phases. When practicing for gigs or rehearsals (which hasn't happened for a whole now) it was LP Junior. I think the guitar that gets picked up the most at home apart from acoustic is my Squier tele- it's just fun, v light and you can really let loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Virgman Posted September 9, 2014 Members Share Posted September 9, 2014 I switch off every couple days. Otherwise the other guitars get jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
