Members jjpistols Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 is because you want lots of guitars you don't need all the different tones - you don't sound like all those different artists on all those different records - you really don't have to fill niches, musically - you're not an artist with lots of colors, you play guitar you would get the job done on one guitar, if you had to you just want to have lots of guitars nothing wrong with it, if you admit it -- justification and excuses are silly, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Prages Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 As the owner of about 15 electric guitars, 4 acoustic guitars, and 4 guitar amps, I agree with you. I could own one electric, one acoustic, one bass, one guitar amp, and one bass amp, and get get pretty much the same variety of tones I do now. But I really like having the variety.

Members Bacardi/Cola Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 the only reason to have lots of guitars is because you want lots of guitars +10000. I don't have much time to play one guitar (let alone 5), but I want and love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Clearly the only reason to have lots of guitars is to bug jj. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spike Li Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 If i was a gigging musician, id say that id need at least one backup guitar :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members headstash Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Agreed. One guitar gets it done. Multiple guitars is a collection. But hey - everyone needs a hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CompleteGuitard Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I just love guitars in general, its the only hobby I've ever really had. I don't make much money and I certainly don't need all the guitars I have, but there is a certain satisfaction in coming home after a long day of bull{censored} and walking into my apartment and finding a nice wall of happiness to greet me. As long as the bills are paid and i'm still saving for the future, I don't see anything wrong with indulging my passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm trying to get down to just 3, and even that's just because I'm being greedy. I could do just 1 if I had to. Amps are another story, though. The more the merrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benzem Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 musically - you're not an artist with lots of colors, you play guitar scuze? I am a freakin chameleon, musically, and NEED each and every guitar I own( and some I don't own yet) to keep up with my creativity. :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roy Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 the difference between need and want is kinda fuzzy. you NEED food, shelter, and clothing - you WANT a guitar(s). if you WANT to do something other than just survive, let's say make music, then you NEED a guitar. depending on what you WANT to do, then you may NEED more than one guitar.

Members maltomario Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I really think every guitar player should have at least a les-paul type guitar, a strat style guitar and maybe 1 "bonus" kind in their arsenal (floyded guitar, tele, or semihollow). They really are different beasts and at least for me, are not usually interchangeable. I am a sucker for sweet superstrat style guitars though.. I buy them because I like them not because I need them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteinbergerHack Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Tough to get through a show with one guitar..... Once you get past 8 or so, it's not about having what you "need", though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stormin1155 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 That's what I like about you JJ... you call things as they really are and reveal truths that some of the rest of us don't want to admit. No, we don't need all those guitars, but without them what point would there be to hanging out at HCEG??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I suppose I could trim it down to one acoustic, one nylon and one electric...
