Members emuhunter Posted February 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 im not sure if id jump into making a collection too quick - just get two guitars ( one boy and one girl )--- they breed !I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!! Greatest news I've heard in a long time... I wonder what kind of babies a J-45 and, say, an 000-18 GE would pop out. I predict a Santa Cruz!

Members fretplay Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would think, A dread either Gibson J45 or Martin D28 A 000 Jumbo shape like Martin 00028 Something short scale and small body like Gibson LC1 A parlour guitar. Modern ones today are fantastic. One of numbers two or three to be electro acoustic so you could record or amplify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alchemist Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't believe in needing several guitars to cover everything (acoustic OR electric).I could get by with a nice grand auditorium like a Taylor 414CE or Taylor 814CE (if I want more bling) to cover all of my steel string acoustic needs. What type of music do you play? of course one good acoustic can cover many things, but collections arent meant to be sensible or even practical! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a very minimum, I'd want one 'real' guitar and one travel guitar. Just having one real guitar will not cover my guitar needs.But having 2 'real' guitars --one dread, one 000-- and one travel guitar would be even better. I actually prefer this way than having many guitars... less guitars = more connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer this way than having many guitars... less guitars = more connection. I have owned as many as 8 guitars at one time, yet I always found myself playing one of them 90% of the time. I would also like to own a nice classical guitar. I don't travel by plane often enough to need a travel guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordchunker Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 I play out alot and am a guitar for hire in several different bands. If I was only playing my bedroom 1-2 guitars would probably do it BUT when I go from playing swing-jazz to delta blues to bluegrass(fiddle tunes) to open tuning fingerstyle to chicago blues one or 2 guitars just will not do..same thing for studio musicians. It helps to be versatile with your sound imo.. It is just a matter of needs/tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members austikins Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think I would want: 1 Dread, Spruce/Mahogany 1 Concert, Cedar top 1 Jumbo 12 string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kujozilla Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 Here is a suggestion never wind up with a bunch of damn guitars (see Mah Gear). You wind up confused as hell when you wanna play one. All of mine get ample play time but I feel like they take away from progress with technique because based on the style of guitar I am playing I have to adjust my patterns accordingly. Kind of like playing 5 sports and only being okay at all of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like playing 5 sports and only being okay at all of em. I find that part of the fun of owning a fair number of guitars. I have to learn how to best bring out the attributes of each guitar, and I think that makes me a more versatile player. I'd rather be decent in a number of styles, than to be a one-trick shredding/fingerpicking pony. Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Queequeg Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 I believe that they are far easier to buy than to sell. I'd sell several if the market was better & if I didn't have to deal with craigslist and/or eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 I posted something along these same lines today in the electric forum and I was thinking "hey, I wonder what the acoustic equivalent would be..."What 3-4 acoustic guitars would you pick to play any and everything?I should say I'm trying to put together a nice collection for myself, and thus far I have two Gibbys: a J-45 and a J-30. What would you add to that collection to round things out? You already have 2 flat-tops. I think every collection needs an arch top with a magnetic pick-up, a'la a Godin Kingpin, Michael kelly or Gretch Synchromatic. I think everyone needs a classical too. And a lot of folks (not me), think a 12-string guitar is essential to an acoustic guitar collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play rhythm exclusively (mostly because it is more fun to me). So I only need 2-3 to really satisfy all my needs unfortunately I am a bargain hunter who doesn't know when to stop.

Members nylon rock Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 A Martin 00-18 from 1936, but since this is too expensive and near impossible to obtain, get a new (or used) Martin 00-18V. Do it today so that when you're old and slow it will warm your heart when you have a lifetime of practice already behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
