Members jjpistols Posted January 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Wrong. I need to have 22 guitars, more actually. I need them because I'm like a painter, painting from a candy colored pallet of tone. I have a bouquet of sounds emanating from my guitar collection. I am the candy colored clown. thank you easter bunny! bock bock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 The only reason I have lots of guitars is so JJ can make leather tooled pickguards for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blindside Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Been there. For now, I've just told my current band that I'm limiting us to two tunings; I'm just not going to carry 4-5 guitars to every show. Thus, we play some tunes in standard that are dropped a half-step originally. The singer gets a bit annoyed sometimes, but I can virtually guarantee that nobody in the audience knows or cares. Sadly, I don't have that luxury. We use capos in standard tuning, but we have songs in DGDGAD, DCDGAD, DADF#AE, DADFAD, regular DADGAD and then a bunch in standard. We're basically forced to have three guitars a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members d_dave_c Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have more guitars now that I've stopped gigging than I did when I used to play out. I could've justified it much more easily back then, but I can afford it much more easily now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tacdryver Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Some people collect things because they like to HAVE them..I have stuff because I use them..one of my first instructors, a real classic rock shredder, runs around town with a Squire, he says they are lighter, easier to play, and you can't tell the difference in sound... Anyway...someone said a long time ago, he owned a high end music store...that after a while, only the best will do...I do get that... I mean if you {censored} can 9 guitars to get a few nice ones...it's just that finding that guitar is so hard...I think my next one is that Yngwie strat..gotta try it... I have a youtube vid, where I compare two American Strats, one with Vintage pups, the other with EMGs...you can tell... I am considering putting up a vid of 'Cheap guitar shootout..Squire vs OLP' or maybe...USA strat vs Chinese Squire...Fender would probably send a hit team after me if I did that.. Slash...said something pretty cool, that started making sense when I got some gigs under my belt..to the effect '..that I had some guitars that played great live, but when I went into the recording studio, they didn't cut it' I have a new Traynor Tube amp..pretty rare feature in that it has a headphone out...so I started hearing things, I never heard.. If your like me trying to figure out your tone...get a pair of headphones..might help you decide which guitars to keep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members illinismitty Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 I have many guitars because I can. Do you really want to be stuck with one axe the rest of your life? I wish wives or girlfriends could be the same, because I am sick of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sufidancer Posted January 14, 2010 Members Share Posted January 14, 2010 Guitars are a form of art. I collect them like some people collect paintings or beany babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
