Recording King Acoustic (1):\u00a0 Cheap backup guitar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDetermining When There Are Too Many<\/h2>\n
Determining when there are too many guitars is a subjective matter. It depends on individual circumstances and personal preferences. Factors to consider include space, time, and money for maintenance. If you find yourself struggling to find space for all your guitars, or if you feel overwhelmed by the amount of time and effort it takes to care for them, it may be a sign that you have too many.<\/p>\n
I would say that I have too many right now.\u00a0 I had more but I have sold a few recently.\u00a0 No matter what I’m going to keep my Les Paul, SG, RR3, a strat and my Breedlove acoustic.\u00a0 I’m likely to keep my cheap Ibanez because I just like it too much and I have less than $200 in it.\u00a0 After that, here is what I’m trying to whittle it down to 2 guitars that I can use to play 80’s rock and keep in alternate tunings, then 2 guitar to play metal with alternate turnings and 1 sevel string for playing low metal tunings.<\/p>\n
This would get to me 11 guitars.\u00a0 That would be just enough and probably way more than most people want.<\/p>\n
Guitar Acquisition Syndrome (GAS)<\/h2>\n
Lets talk about the [henomenon that many guitarists are familiar with: Guitar Acquisition Syndrome (GAS).<\/p>\n
Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, or GAS, is a real.\u00a0 It affects guitarists of all levels and backgrounds. It’s that insatiable desire to constantly acquire new guitars, even when we already have a perfectly good one (or several) at home. It’s that feeling of excitement and anticipation that comes with the prospect of adding another instrument to our collection.<\/p>\n
But why do we experience GAS? Well, part of it has to do with the allure of new gear and the idea that owning more guitars will somehow improve our playing skills. We believe that having a larger collection will make us better guitarists, when in reality, it’s our dedication and practice that truly drives improvement.<\/p>\n
There’s no denying that collecting guitars can be a personal choice and a source of joy for many players. However, at some point the time and cost of chasing new gear starts to outweigh our actual playing time. Owning too many guitars can result in some instruments gathering dust, while others receive all the attention.<\/p>\n
Is One Guitar is Enough?<\/h2>\n
There are some advantages to owning 1 guitar.\u00a0 By focusing on one guitar, you can better understand its unique sound, quirks, and nuances. This familiarity allows you to make the necessary adjustments and improvements in your playing. It also eliminates the frustration and need for re-learning when switching between guitars. By honing your skills on one instrument, you can truly master it and unlock its full potential.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, owning just one guitar encourages you to invest in its maintenance and care. You’ll develop a stronger connection with your instrument, treating it as a valuable tool rather than just another item in your collection. This level of attention and care will result in a better playing experience and a longer lifespan for your guitar.<\/p>\n
So, What’s the Answer?<\/h2>\n
The question of “how many guitars is too many” ultimately depends on your individual circumstances and needs.<\/p>\n
If you’re a collector, then you could easily have hundreds of guitars, and its not too many.\u00a0 If you are just someone who plays at home, having more than 20 probably would be too many.\u00a0 However, if it makes you happy then why not?<\/p>\n
Here’s the good news.\u00a0 If you buy used gear, you can usually get the same value out of your great that you paid for.\u00a0 So if you ever need the money, you can just sell your gear.\u00a0 Hopefully, that doesn’t happen to any of us anytime soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
