If there was no internet, I could live with only one guitar. The internet makes me guitar crazy.

QUESTION: How many guitars are necessary to make guitarist happy? 10? 50? 100? no... ANSWER: "One more guitar"

Guitarist can be happy with 1 guitar if a few simple steps are taken. Stay off the internet forums, instead use time practicing 2... use money you would spend of guitars on lessons 3... keep practicing

Goes back to the old saying...... Always fear the man with one gun, for he sure knows how to use it.

I have one guitar....For every tuning

Not possible, you need at least one electric and an acoustic, minimum.

One guitar? That's crazy talk!

As a scientific aside, I think the type of folks who watch youtube videos about guitar gear (like myself) are going to be biased towards owning many guitars (which is why we are watching--"addicted to gear" after all). Those who are satisfied with a single guitar are not likely to be watching these types of videos because they already have the gear they want, and aren't itching for more. So in terms of settling your argument, using the comments section from your youtube channel is giving you a biased sample in favor of your side of the argument. ;-)

1 If you just play at home. 2 If you just play at home and also want an acoustic. 2 If you doing gigs because you need a backup guitar 2 If you are a studio guitar player and need to cover up a lot of sounds. 3 If you play gigs or in studio and want a acoustic too. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8+..... guitars is nothing else than pure luxury.

I only need one, I don't have GAS...I haven't bought any gear since late 2016. My goal this year is working on my playing.

Possible! You can get everywhere with just one good guitar if you´re a hell of a player! Most people spent to much time looking for equipment instead of playing or writing a song!

1 GOOD GUITAR IS ALL YOU NEED IF YOU JUST PLAY FOR YOUR OWN JOY AT HOME. IF YOU ARE A GIGGING MUSICIAN YOU NEED A BACKUP GUITAR THAT MAKES 2. HAVING A ACOUSTIC IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL SO IF YOU WANT ONE YOU NEED 3. EVERYTHING ELSE IS UNNECESSARY IN MATTERS OF REALLY NEEDING SOMETHING.

I own only 1 guitar. A Gibson J-45. It looks beautiful, it sounds beautiful, it plays beautifully. I do not play gigs, I do not have a band. I just play for my dog in my living room. I am content.

I only have one guitar (nylon string), reason: I am to poor to buy another :) and I usually use the money to buy strings

WHEN I WAS 20 YEARS OLD. I PLAYED IN A BAND. REHEARSED 3-4 TIMES I WEEK. HAD A GIG EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. WROTE SONGS. RECORDED. EVEN SCORED A RECORD DEAL. GOT A LITTLE RADIO PLAY AND HAND A FEW CONCERTS AS OPENER FOR BIG INTERNATIONAL ACTS LIKE BLONDIE... I ONLY HAD A GIBSON HOLLOWBODY AND SHARED A CHEAP BACKUP GUITAR WITH THE OTHER GUITARIST WHO PLAYED A STRATOCASTER. THE BACKUP GUITAR BELONGED TO THE SINGERS BROTHER. NOW I´M HITTING 40 AND NOW I HAVE 3 GIBSONS AND A FENDER. GONE THROUGH A LOT OF GEAR IN THE LAST TEN YEARS. BOUGHT AND SOLD SOME GUITARS.. I HARDLY WRITE, RECORD, OR HAVE A GIG ANYMORE :-( I THINK THAT SAYS IT ALL!

Yes, it's possible to be happy owning just one guitar. I've been playing the same Fender Telecaster for 35 years and I wouldn't play anything else. I don't even like the feel of another Tele, let alone a different kind of guitar. The only problem is, when you play live gigs you either need to play all songs in the same tuning, or learn to tune to alternative tunings really quickly. My friend keeps telling me to install an autotuner on it. No way! I'm not desecrating my beloved Tele by screwing some computer to it! 👎

No way. Lost count at 60.

This should be a 4 second video. It should be him saying "No!".

Now I got 9 guitars, acoustic and electric, gibsons, fenders, PRS's, yamahas... bot a couple years ago I bought a telecaster (sunburst American deluxe) and that guitar eclipsed all others for more than 3 years. I used to play it only in the neck position, I was completely in love with that sound. Finally I bought a Gibson Memphis 339, this Gibson turned everything into normal, it let me to re-discover why I bought each and every guitar I got.

I would be happy with a great guitar. Still haven't found the one I can settle on, though, so I have more than 10 :).

I´M THINKING ABOUT THIS A LOT. I RATHER HAVE ONE VERY EXPENSIVE GOOD GUITAR THAN 5 OK GUITARS. ALSO I´M A GUY WHO DOSENT WANT TO HAVE A LOT OF ANYTHING... I DON´T KNOW WHY GUESS I´M THE OPPOSITE OF A COLLECTOR. BUT IF YOU ARE A GIGING MUSICIAN YOU NEED 3. 1 GUITAR AND 1 GUITAR AS BACKUP AND OF COURSE YOU ALSO NEED AN ACOUSTIC.

I started with an old yamaha couch guitar that i knew a few riffs on and it sat for 27 years doing nothing but a rare and occasional noodling... three years ago, i decided to actually take lessons and learn how to play guitar... that old classical just wouldn't do so i got a nice Alvarez acoustic............. then there was this Taylor 12 string that caught my ear........ and then the ESP electric......... AND then this American Special Strat came home with me........... now i'm looking at a Gretch. As i learned more technique, i realized that every guitar has a different sound or personality. They are like friends. :D

Back in the days it was about having 1 guitar and beeing in a band. Today it‘s about having a lot of guitars and stuff and beeing on the internet. 🤔 Maybe thats why music gone downwards.

most jazz guitarists i know have just 1 guitar. a lot of them are amazingly incredible guitar players...indeed, most of them chanell their effort towards musical skills, same for most classical guitar players i know.

we're all to addicted to gear. It's a cultural obsession with guitarists and bassist. It doesn't help with creativity or originality. Guitars are tools.

I own 12 guitars that are in storage for the past 4 years plus about 6 amps, gazzillions of effects pedals, mic's, mixers..you name I was a gear hoarder. Anyways about 4 years ago i moved overseas. I bought one really cheap nylon string guitar that is really nice to play. My experience is in that time my guitar playing has improved about 200% in 4 years, than the previous 30 years where I was distracted by gear and always thinking I could sound better if only I owned this, or that next guitar/amp/pedal. YES, it most definitely is possible to live with just one guitar...also as an example of a player who is world famous for playing just one guitar and getting a signature sound "Willy nelson"..theres probably others..maybe Brian May..sure they have other guitars but you get my point.. I think a lot of us focus too much on gear and not enough on actually playing. The nylon string has made my fingers stronger, I can stretch further and I have branched into classical music..something I never would have done if I just kept playing electric guitars..my 2 cents...real tone come from your fingers, not some pickup or circuitry.

Very nice collection sir.

Just found my way to this channel. You sound relaxed and honest. I love it!

Easily! I´m into Gibsons, got a 335 and a LP custom. I almost just play the 335. LP is backup. Can cover up a lot of diverent dounds with it...On smaller club gigs I sometimes just bring my 335 with me. I know this guitar so I can rely on it. In Cause of a broken string, which hasn´t happend in years I would be able to restring and play again within 2 minuites... Enjoy playing become one with your instrument don´t waste you money looking for gear gear gear... Thats called a guitar collector not a guitar player.

Yes you can. A big collection does not make you a big musician. Just you've got gear like a Rockstar does not make you one.

I imagine someone playing one guitar with all of the options of guitars would eventually go insane.

I was happy with one guitar for over 2 decades, then I got happier.

Up to about two weeks ago i only had one guitar for about 3 or 4 years. Its a SG that i love and bought cause im a huge Angus Young fan, hes my main inspiration on guitar. I used it for the whole of those 3 or 4 years and never thought about getting another. Two weeks ago i bought a strat cause it was a crazy good deal that was to good to miss. I love my SG and i will never sell but having two guitars is great because they feel different and i love different things about. the difference in tone and feel is something i love. Since owning this second guitar i have more motivation for guitar, its alot funner and my playing has improved and expanded. The strat has naturally brought out this funky groove feeling that i never had before. Although i could survive with just my SG i prefer having two guitars.

I love all of my guitars. Each one inspires me to play and feel a little differently. For me more is better. If I only had one it would be worn out in a hurry. lol

It's like how a painter can have many different brushes and paints. Guitars are just a way of increasing the variance of our pallets as guitar players to get different sounds and improve our range. Also, it's impossible to be so into a hobby and read about it every day without lusting after new gear. Guitar stuff is just so cool! It's really expensive too... Maybe I should just take up painting instead. Now that I mention it, that seems cheaper :)

As long as you know what tone you want... yeah. I bought a '67 Fender Mustang in '96 at Fretware Guitars in Franklin OH. This guitar was my only for years. it's still my baby.

I have 18 guitars- 16 electric, 2 acoustic. I am afflicted with GAS but I LOVE it!!! ;)

I was very happy playing a martin 000x1ae for 7 years of my life without having any other guitar. It is still my go to guitar after all these years. I recently got a fender telecaster, but only because i was interested in playing more rock music. I have no desire to buy another acoustic any time soon if ever. Hope this helps!

Had 1 guitar for the last year and so far perfectly content. It really forces you to focus on 1. Your technique and 2. Your customisation/setup of the instrument. Settled on a Les Paul with P90's and had to tweak the pickup magnets and wiring but with 50's wiring/output loading, you really can get the whole range of Les Paul and Fender tones by turning the knobs.

I've just subscribed to your KZfaq channel now while watching my 1st vid from your channel. Like you I have multiple guitars and want many more. Tone, feel, color, pickups, woods, finger boards, necks etc... Are just some of the things I look for in guitars AND basses. I owned as many as 16 at one time. But due to economic reasons sold 10 of them & currently I own 10 of them. Which are: Fender Tele, Fendef Strat, custom Strat, Gibson Les Paul Studio, Epiphone Gold top Les Paul Standard, Gibson Hummingbird, Martin DXAE D 28, Fender F25, Peavey Bass and a Fender Musicmaster Bass. My all time favourite is my 73 Telecaster. I've been playing it since it was purchased by my father that same year.

I'm down to 5 and I can't seem to downsize anymore. I've got my Jazzmaster, Les Paul, My grandfathers acoustic, Ibanez semi-hollow and an Ibanez acoustic bass. I'm on a mission to own less. I'm tired of owning too much gear.

Interessing topic.. I personnaly own a cheap acoustic (I mainly play electric) and own 5 electric guitars which I consider is the maximum acceptable for a guitarist. Beyond that, I believe it will be to time consuming and difficult to maintain them properly and to give each guitar a decent spin time to time. Through the years, my musical tastes evolved so did my musical needs. Through the years, when adquiring a new guitar, I always tried to get a guitar that will not overlap in style and sound with the ones I already owned. My first decent guitar was a Ibanez RG with HSH pickups and a floyd rose.. I was into Joe Satriani and other shredders. Later on, when I started to work and get my own money, I got a cool American Special Fender Stratocaster because I always loved the strat sound (I'm also a Dire Straits fan).. But my dream guitar was always a PRS custom 24, which one day I got second hand. Some years later, a friend of mine, lend me his telecaster to clean it up and change the strings but it took him forever to pass by and get his guitar back.. So I spend some quality time whith his telecaster at home and began to understood the telecaster. Some time later, I finally got one (I used to hate everything on the telecaster, sound, look). The last one was then a Gibson Les Paul loaded with P90s.. I didn't own any les Paul or P90 equiped guitar, so a Gibson les Paul P90 was the logical choice for the 5th guitar in the list. Today when I look back, I don't regret owning several guitars. Each one has it's own style as allowed me to discover new styles and sounds during this muical journey that is our life. If I would have sticked to my first RG HSH floyd rose equiped guitar, I don't think I would have expanded my tonal palette and musical influences and knownledge as much as though these axes I mentioned. One important thing though is to be carrefull to not be trapped to much in this hunt ;-) Cheers!

In the last 40 years I have owned only 1 guitar, a 1970s Yamaha classical given to me by a friend. That Yamaha traveled with me all over the USA, and to Germany, Switzerland, Israel, and France. I played folk style and that guitar was perfect for me. I liked the wide fretboard, the rich bass sound, and even the high tension nylon strings (which I preferred) were so much nicer on my fingers than steel strings. However, in the last 2 years I have accumulated at least a half dozen electric guitars looking for the right electric tone.

I really enjoy your conversations.

I think that if I was a master of the instrument then perhaps I could have just one because I wpuld only want to play and sound like myself. however I am a crap player who just loves everything about guitars so I have a nice little collection. I dont buy or pick up a guitar thinking that it is gping to just make me shred. I do so to experience everything that particular instrument has to offer

Few is better, one is almost unheard of unless they're poor or broke.

You're Right, Having multiple instruments let you tailor the sound according to your mood and the type of music you want to play at a particular period in time.Guitars are very dynamic instruments, even the same 2 guitars would sound slightly different so its the versatility that i would go for with having multiple instruments..

I went for about 7 years playing one guitar....I don't know if that's long enough to fit the criteria here, and now I have a pretty decent collection, but at the time, which was years ago, I was only using that one. It was a 93 Gibson LP studio I got for my 15th birthday, which I still have today 20 years later. I guess I felt like I just didn't need another guitar, and really had no desire to get another. I could get pretty much any sound I was looking for out of the LP. That as well as the fact that in highschool, then college, and into my early - mid twenties, I didn't have the financial flexibility to be starting a guitar collection. So it was just that ol Gibson for me. So fast forward ten years, and I currently have 10 guitars. It is nice to have the tonal options, but for me, the problem with owning that many guitars, is that I don't have the same level of comfort and familiarity with any of guitars as I did my LP. and after playing one for awhile, I'll pick up another, and it's like I have to now "get used" to this other guitar now. And I have all my guitars set up with very similar parameters. When I was just playing the LP, I was so used the feel, and had it set up just right. It was great. With my guitars now, they each serve a different purpose. All that being said, I did play on just one guitar for many years

THERE IS A GUY CALLED SLASH WHO RECORDED A WHOLE ALBUM CALLED APPETITE FOR DISTRUCTION ON A FAKE GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD 59. NOW I`M SURE HE HAS OVER 100 LES PAULS BUT DID HE EVER RECORDED SOMETHING THAT GOOD AGAIN?

What about Brian May? Been using the Red Special for years. Fair enough he has copies of the same guitar but they're only for drop d and spare when playing live. He's been satisfied with that guitar for his whole life!

I have a 1955 Gretsch Corvette, model 6183. It does just about everything - plays well acoustically, has a smashing DeArmond pickup, plays jazz, blues, rock, rockabilly with equal aplomb. It would suck at metal, but I don't play metal. I've not found anything as versatile, or has such tone. One the other hand - I own a dozen guitars, including the Gretsch, and it is extremely unlikely the collection won't continue to grow. However - I could live with just the Gretsch. It would cover enough ground to do all the jobs BUT WHY??? Why live with just one? So the next question is - what about amps? How many folks have more than one - and why?

That one guitar you love most will do for recordings like so many do but it's that always looking for new sound feel attraction of that new or old second-hand guitar that makes you want one more I need that tone that neck feel pickups hell I could go on and on........... one beer na not enough lol when I was young yes money was the issue one guitar only a hangstom sweed 1973 now ouch to many love them all sound different feel different as I got older I learned how to appreciate the difference and quality of each guitar.all the best great topic T

I have a friend who's been playing the same Strat since 1970. His only other guitar is a cheap Yamaha acoustic. For me I have 15 guitars currently so the answer for me is no, but there were many years when I got by with 2 electrics and an acoustic.

impossible. i have 4 electric, 1 accoustic and a bass.

My Dad has owned only 1 acoustic guitar for over 40 years. He has played it all my life. He doesn't play very regularly, but once he learned to play the music he liked (in a basic way) he was happy. He plays to his grandchildren and at family occasions. Only since I learned has he started learning new songs again. His influence meant that I like quite a lot of older stuff that he has heard me play and asked for chord sheets.

I used to own so many guitars. I was looking for what I liked. Now that I found the one I like, I don't feel a need for another. Although, I sometimes look at guitars and think I'd like one like that, the feeling passed when I play mine. It's just a cheap, Chinese import but I love the way looks, feels and sounds. It's my guitar.

I had one guitar Guild Starfire on stage from 1965 till 1986 suited everything. Started with a Fender Strat through it in the skip followed by a Marshall stack, also went in skip, bought a Vox AC30 used that from 1965 to 1986. Never had any had any trouble that amp or guitar, never let me down once. Also used a for that length of time a Binson Echo.

I agree with Sam in that if you have the money, you're likely going to buy more than one. Too many varieties of sound and playability to settle for just one instrument.

Hi, you’ve found your unicorn. I play one and one only electric guitar. I’ve done this since 1997. There is a catch though, while the guitar is basically the same kind of guitar I’ve upgraded. I started out with an Epiphone Sheraton II and now have a Gibson ES335. I had a telecaster for 8 months and sold it. All I need is the 335, it does everything I ask of it and I’ve been happy for 20 years.

I’m trying to get there. But I am conflicted. I now play an Eastman archtop, but I have a very nice AVRI Strat that I hardly play. And I don’t know what to do. Help. I also hardly play my acoustic. So I am really trying to trim it down to ONE.

As far as electrics concerned. You need 2 guitars! A main axe and a backup. Everything else is just bauberly. Spent your time playing them and don´t waste your time maintain them. If you got a Gibson and a Fender you should also be able to cover up everything. If not than it´s a lack of your skills not on your equipment. Simple as that.

Facts. 1) The guitar is a tool for making music. 2) We all have only 1 pair of hands and only 1 guitar is played at a time. 3) Your intro gives the answer as all the electrics you play sound 99.5% the same and all the acoustics as well. So It's fine to have many tools at your disposal but you only need 1 to make music. Guitar companies do their best to make you think you need to fill in your guitar ownership checklist. But in the end, all it takes is to believe in your abilities and invest the time on your craft. This requires just a guitar that you like, nothing more.

I bought my first acoustic guitar in 1978, and that was my only guitar until 2000 when I bought my first electric guitar. I now have over 20 guitars, but I only play about 4 of them. The rest are really decorations at this point and I could do within them. I’d like to whittle it down to about eight, but the truth is I could get along with 3. One electric (probably my American Standard Stratocaster) one acoustic, and my acoustic 12 string.

Great collection man. You got all the bases covered. I sometimes feel bad owning a half dozen guitars but none are very expensive. I could survive with one elec and one acoustic but I love guitars! I bought a warmoth/fender parts strat for 600$ but the parts alone are 2000$. The neck is rosewood with an ebony board and the body is one piece of ash. Stainless steel frets which are amazing. It's my favourite now even though single cuts are my fave. It just has something more than the others. Clapton played his brown strat for most of the 70s live but he had dozens.

If you have money to buy a guitar lucky you, buy more. If you don't have money then your stuck with just one or few thats all simple.

If you aint good on a 335 you won´t be good on a SG or a Les Paul, Strat, Tele... either! If you aint good on a SG you won´t be good on a 335 or a Les Paul, Strat, Tele...either! If you aint good on a Les Paul you won´t be good on a 335 or a SG, Strat, Tele... either! If you aint good on a Strat you won´t be good on a 335 or a SG, Les Paul, Tele... either! If you aint good on a Tele you won´t be good on a Strat or a 335, SG, Les Paul... either! Simple as that

I started the year with two guitars, and am ending the year with four guitars. However I actually bought a total of 8 guitars this year, and sold a total of 5. (At least I think that is right. lol

I'm with you. I have around 20 including two acoustics and have every pickup category filled except a tube pickup. Have my eye on a Danelectro '64 but having a hard time pulling the trigger on a $800 Dano. No doubt, someday I will if I can figure out a way to sneak it in the house!

Another side of my story. My guitar instructor has had a beat up G&L that's had the same strings so long that they are rusted between the nut and tuners. He doesn't know what all the knobs do. But he has a masters in music and is one of the most versatile, amazing guitarists I've ever heard.... bar none! Makes me wish I could forget about the "stuff" and spend my time and energy practicing. The guy can look at a piece of music and almost instantly play the song like it was recorded. Spins my brain!

SHURE ALL OUR HEROS HAD A GOOD GUITAR PRETTY EARLY IN THEIR CAREER BUT THEY CARED ABOUT MAKING MUSIC IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! THEIR LINE OF GUITARS CAME WITH THE MILLIONS THEY MADE. EVERYTHING IS GOING IN THE WRON DIRECTION THESE DAYS. WE CARE ABOUT OWNING DIFFERENT GUITARS, AMPS AND COUNTLESS EFFECTS. THERE ARE MORE VARIATIONS OF ANY MODELL LIKE LES PAUL, A STRAT, NOW THEN IT HAD BEEN BACK THEN WHEN THEY MADE ALL THOSE LEGENDARY RECORDS. WE STILL LISTEN TODAY BECAUSE WE SPEND OUR TIME ON KZfaq COMPARING GUITARS AND MINIMAL DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT INSTEAD OF JUST PLAYING IT AND CREATING NEW MUSIK. ON TOP OF THAT NEARLY EVERY GUITARIST IS PRIMALY KNOWN FOR ONE KIND OF A GUITAR OR A SOUND. tAKE: HENDRIX - STRAT SCOTTY MOORE - GIBSON HOLLOWBODY ANGUS YOUNG - SG SLASH - LES PAUL KEITH RICHARDS - TELE CUCK BERRY - 335... AND WE THINK WE NEED ALL OF THESE GUITARS BEFORE WE ARE EVEN READY TO START TRYING TO MAKE MUSIK...

Got the bug after buying a chinese one that looks exactly like the one you are holding 4 months ago. Now I have a a/e uke and an rc 30 loop pedal and an able to play 8 songs. I can only imagine where I will be a year from now equipment wise. I'm glad it's ok to want more of them. Am a pretty good kareoke singer with hopes of moving up to the next level. Is street busker to lofty of a goal?

Does it count only guitars? Or basses? Bandolim, Mandolas, Portuguese tradicional guitar and other acoustic instruments are also included? ;D

i think WILLIE NELSON still plays his original guitar

Just get 1 really good guitar and really learn to play it. You can get a lot of different sounds out it. That makes a real good guitar player! But on the other hand you ned a backup guitar. And every guitarist should own an acoustic. So i would say you need 3! I got 4 and I really start to switch around too much instead of just playing them.

I rotate between a Gretsch 6120SHTTV, Sadowsky R1 and Alumisonic Custom Classic Alloy at church. I either use a Caparison Horus HGS or a 7-string fanfret at home, depending on the song I'm playing/learning. If bass counts as a guitar, I use my Bacchus DX4E at church. I also have a Lowden F25C acoustic, which I use for fingerstyle stuff. So basically it's impossible for me to have 1 guitar only, but I would be happy to have one "amp" only; it would be an AX8.

I restarted the video and hit play with my eyes closed and listened. With the exception of the acoustic, all of the electric riffs could have easily been played on the same guitar just slightly different amp settings. I could not hear a distinct guitar difference. I am a one electric, one acoustic, one bass person.

"Lots of people own just one guitar." -Yeah, there are a lots of weirdos out there.

I prefer to have one metal guitar, one clean guitar and one acoustic guitar.

I've been playing only 1 guitar for over a decade. A Washburn EC29. Started playing at age 14. I just turned 39. Used to be a collector of gear. Had just about every brand of guitar and gear and settled on 1 guitar, 1amp and 1 pedal board . I play actively in cover bard from classic rock to Latin folk. Finding your 1 true love is Like everything else: one person to love. 1 car, etc.

Does a 3 voice electric guitar count? If, it's yes than. Godin Xtsa for 13 years and still counting (mostly electric). Several accoustic at elementary to middle school and I stoped at Godin in high school, till now.

You should be attached to a guitar emotionally and love it . Nothing can then tempt you not even better guitars

gear is something "former young guys" get into when their bank accounts exceed their passion for music (about middle age). It is a void filler, a passion simulacrum to get you through with something you would pretty much abandon if you weren't buying something shiny and pretty. Also it is not accident that group think comes into things like this, with the "gear nuts" all falling in love with and tracking down the same set of pieces in a "this is what everyone likes so i will like it" chase for certain les pauls, strats etc. Chasing tone replaces the love of music- what made the guitar gods so great 40-50 years ago is they were limited, they overcame those limitations (and not, of course, by accident; those limitations are what is desired as the perfect tone/gear today. I always loved the expression "LESS EBAY AND MORE MEL BAY", but for many, with low interest rates on credit cards and cash back/travel points aplenty, those days are long gone.

First time watching your channel. I could make it with 8-string Hellraiser Hybrid, but it doesn't have the feeling of V-shaped basswood body, maple neck, (similar to rosewood fretboard) and floyd rose bridge. 8 is half inch dropped and 6-string is in c-standard. No use for my Hellraiser C-7. I have one cheapo acoustic, but I need it to be top quality!

I've been playing my stratocaster for maybe 8 years, something like that. I've had a single other electric guitar ; an epiphone. I really like the way my stratocaster feels and plays and have pretty much settled for it right then and there. I haven't been obsessing over tone for most of my time playing the guitar as I'm your typical bedroom guitarist. It came pretty late. I use a virtual amp now. I've been messing around a lot to find the setting I like, at no additional cost. I felt the need to make that single guitar more versatile and so I added a couple of humbuckers and also rewired to have a master treble-cut AND a master bass-cut knob. That way I can get pretty much all the tones I feel I need. Beside that I kind of got myself a volume pedal lately ; that's really useful for better dynamics control. However, I've got the bug now ! I've acquired a bass. I want a baritone guitar to tune a fourth below. And I also want one of those tiny 3/4 guitars to tune up a fourth. That would be my complete guitar family ; from the low to the top end of the spectrum ; mimicking the bass, cello, alto, & violin family. I feel I'll get some more buying ideas once I've got those two though. I need to be careful there, lol.

Owning one guitar is like owning one screwdriver.

What you are looking for is a unicorn guitar player. I also would be beyond shocked if someone truly came forward who has been playing 5+ years and only plays one guitar.

I have an RG series Ibanez (fixed bridge). I've had it since I was 15 and am 32 now. I'm just now looking into multiple electric guitars because I'm playing gigs more often and like to play in multiple tunings. I just last year got an acoustic guitar and for nearly 15 years only had 1 guitar.

Could someone please tell me what the song on 0:19 is? Also, of course i don't think one guitar is enough, i'd say you need at least 1 electric and 1 acoustic.

GUITARS and GUN'S , Just one isn't gonna cut it.

I have played guitar for many years(all sorts) acoustic,classical,electric and in the beginning I was swayed by all these brilliant guitarists and I came wrongly to the conclusion that I had to have that particular instrument,and so for many many years I chopped and changed to try and suit the style I was into,but somehow was not happy when I got that particular guitar.What a lot people say is just be somewhere in the ballpark in other words ideally have acoustic electric classical and of course there's a big difference between humbuckers and single coil so just maybe one each of these and that's about my approximation of it,sorry it's so long winded.

I noticed Tony's opening jam ended with a Yamaha. Did he go through all those guitars alphabetically?

Hi, I don't know if i fit your criteria perfectly but I started playing guitar in 2009 when i was 12 and since then only had one guitar. It's an Ibanez gsz 120 and yes i know it's pretty bad but i still love the thing for it's my first guitar and I even played with it live on a stage 3 times (for school events and stuff). So i have some good memories with it and i usually play it every day. I have a Fender Mustang amp and for home fiddeling and tiny live gigs it has been great in combination with my guitar. Especially when the crowd doesn't know a lot about good sound. But i would lie if i said that i never wanted another guitar especially now that it is kind of breaking down as the elctronics seem to be a little messed up. So i went to a few guitar stores over the years and played some different guitars and expensive guitars and none of them felt amazing or great. I guess I'm just too used to playing this dirty, cheap one (btw I call it "filth"). And there's of course the problem of money. I never felt like i had enough money to spend most of it on a new guitar that i might not even like. Further I still need to learn a lot about playing, sadly i don't practice as much as i should and trying to sound good with the cheap gear is quite the challenge but it's fun. So i guess when the next money rain comes around i will actually buy me a new guitar and amp but as for now i am happy with what i have.

I have an electric acoustic guitar now and I'm happy with it. had electric and acoustic. now I prefer the hybrid with graphic equalizer.

hello, since 14 years and up until this year i have played one acoustic and one electric, acoustic is an Aria acoustic and electric is a PRS SE Tremonti, have also played through the same amp its a line 6 spider 2, have gigged in a metal band with this rig for a few years, but all changed this year, picked up an american standard telecaster and hopefully a new hot rod deluxe within the next week

This popped into my feed again. Some higher power is trying to tell me something.

Depends how it makes you feel. I do have 4-5 guitars (if you include bass), but I do always return to my favourite. However, I spend my life window shopping for new ones.

For the first nine years that I've been playing, I only had one guitar, a Harmony flat top. I currently own four guitars. I focus more of my attention on finding material to play. Non playing collectors are a pet peeve because they collect (or hoard) instruments that are meant to be played ; an instrument that someone could be using.

I currently own a 2011 Gibson Midtown Standard, Taylor T5z, a few random acoustics. I'm "stocking up" on the random acoustics to help fund the purchase for another guitar.

for me, I find for electrics, a single coil style guitar and a humbucker guitar are nice to have as a pair. For bass, I use my Ricky for everything. If you are actually a working musician, you do need more than one-in case one goes on the fritz. Or if a song is in a different tuning...

I have been using my epiphone les paul studio custom shop wine red since I was a beginner. I do own a 77 D-28 martin dreadnaught, a lx1-e with a fishman pickup in it, a fender fa-100 cheapo, and a squier jag vintage modified. That said I only go back to that first guitar. everything else doesn't play the same. It has been through like 7 setups and techs and has all of the positives from each of those people.
