As a collector (of sorts) of guitars I have a few knocking about, plus a couple on order. They all get played, although some WAAAY less than others.
I've received some criticism from two fellow guitar players recently about the whole guitar collection thing. Both of them are friends but pointed out that they were slightly miffed/aggrieved/upset that I had so many guitars that spent most of their time just sat around in cases. Guitars are meant to be played, apparently. My arguement was that they were there if I needed them and I like the fact that I have a Tele/Strat/Les Paul/SG etc.
So where do you guys stand? Should the average guy or gal just have a few guitars that suit them and are played a lot, or is it a free world and you can own play/not play what you like?
-
To be honest i couldn't care less what other people do or don't do with their guitars because it's not my choice.
But personally for me i only need 2 guitars, maybe 3 maximum. And they would get played as they all serve different purposes like locking trem's/different tunings etc.
If i had a guitar i didn't play i would just sell it.
-
i don't think it sould be criticised. it's your passion, your money, so they can bugger off!
i want another guitar or 2, then i'll stop. 4 is enough for me.
-
Sod em I say. You bought them and what you do with them is your business-as you say, they are all different -I say get more just to annoy them.
-
Think am on 10 with bass and classical...but if had cash would have many more....yeah can only play so many at a time....but want a tele etc to finish my collection..*L*
Anyways you have to have 2 of everything ..hence your nickname twinfan I guess...and your mates are only jealous
-
it's your money and you can do what you like... i never much saw the point of having say 50 very-slightly-different strats, for example, i'd much prefer to have one good LP, one good strat, one good tele, etc., but again it's up to the person in question.
I'm not too keen on the guys who solely buy guitars for investment purposes... you know, the guys who don't even play and who invest in guitars rather than the stock market or whatever, just driving up the prices for the rest of us. though obviously we can't tell people what they can and can't buy, lol.
But other than that, if you play, fair enough.
-
well, i have about twenty guitars! it's far too many as regards finding space, but there are always others that i want. i've never actually sold one, although i have some i think i should, but i'm very bad at parting with things. and thinking how much i miss my old Marshall doesn't help!
do you tell them what they should and shouldn't buy? i think people get this attitude from reading interviews with certain rock stars who say, "yeah man, i've had this baby since i was 16, it's my one and only!" except for the 23 others he used on the album....

I'm with you in many ways with that kind of collector
It's the same with people who go to art galleries and are more interested with what the art is worth or will be worth in a years time.
Guitars deserve to get played and there is nothing like owning a guitar that just MAKES you want to play
For me it is funny because I kind of have 30 or more guitars hanging around - each that I have put some love and heart and soul into.
I call them stock because of my business and maybe some don't come out to play for a while - maybe until getting them ready for a show.
But then I play them and know what is special about them.
It is also nice when they get played by others who find something special about them.....I have come into work today to find emails from guys who went to the LGS and saying how nice certain guitars were.
I have a hardcore of about 5 or 6 that I call MINE ( a couple are on my "for sale" list - i will just have to come to terms with it if somebody actually buys them)
I am loving my turquoise Les Paul at present and also dealing with someone putting a deposit/buying my cherry sunburst Les Paul yesterday at the end of the show.
-
people are only ever bothered when it's guitars they'd like to own, but can't afford. if you were collecting Squier Strats nobody would be complaining. at least you're actually a guitarist and appreciate them for what they are.
:twisted:
-
I'm at 5 atm - 3 electrics, an acoustic and a bass.
Will not be happy untill I have atleast, another Electric, a 7 string, a 12 string acoustic, a pointy guitar, and a custom.
-
I think your relations with your guitar is a very personnal thing and one shouldn't interfere. Then i remember something that Antag said once: guitars go in and out of favour and just because you don't play extensively one today don't mean you won't play it a lot tomorrow, depending on your mood, what you're into at the moment, etc.... and i just thought that i couldn't agree more, and wouldn't sell one of my guitar just because it's been picking a little dust for a few month now....
-
Interesting comments guys - keep 'em coming ;)
-
Yup, I (predictably) agree with what everyone's said - as long as you can afford it, you should buy what you want. I like to have a Noah's Ark, a couple of all my favourites - SGs, Vs, Teles, Strats, LPs. But that's only 10, not sure where all these others appeared from...
For some people, guitars are "just tools" and they probably only own one or two, but for most of us here guitars have some kind of magic that goes beyond wire and wood. Just as other people are into cars, or clothes, or jewellery, or... stamps. :?
I sort-of disapprove of these (mythical?) collectors who buy 1959 Les Pauls and "lock them in bank vaults". But even if it's just an investment, they must have some genuine interest in the subject to do the research and be sure they're not buying a lemon. And again, if they have the money, it's up to them I guess...
-
The only collectors I dislike are the buggers that have inflated the prices.
I think guitars are things of beauty, that also have a greater purpose than simply hanging on a wall. I would love to have a collection of guitars that represented the sounds (and shapes) that I have enjoyed over the years.
Whats the pont in buying a LP because it's a 59, if it dosn't sound or feel good.
Rob...
Oh yeah theres so many synth collectors these days too (now that is sad)
-
Yeah, with the people that buy 59 LP's and lock them in a bank vault, then they're only going to resell to someone of the same ilk (i.e. someone that can afford it). As it looks like I wont be like this (atleast for a while :wink: ) then it doesn't bother me too much. Who know's I may find one in my grans attic.
I own a fair few guitars, certainly more than someone who's as bad on the guitar as I am should have. But these are a good mix of types and most of them are cheapo's that have come to my house to either die or be reborn. The vast majority of my axes are waiting for some sort of part which I can't afford. Infact, I own 4 electrics in various stages and had to borrow my mates Squire as I didn't have anything to plug into my amp :oops:
So far I've got:
Patrick Eggle - Needs TOM, BKP's, Pup Rings, Switch and Capacitors.
Chapeass SG copy - Needs routing for P90's and refinishing (lent router to a friend who lost the flush cutting bit :roll: ).
Cheapass Strat copy - Got drunk and made a thin line out of it. SHould really bolt it back together but it's been ravaged for parts (including neck).
My own creation - Hit some dodgy wood in headstock and need to rebuild the neck.
Lawsuit Ibanez Reverse Firebird - Needs all the parts (including banjo tuners which I can't afford).
I can see that once I've got the wedding out of the way and may have a little money left over, I'll finish the Eggle and the Firebird off. The Eggle is my special guitar and the Firebird will be my everyday guitar. Everything else is just for playing with.
-
I own two LPs, a Strat, a Taylor acoustic, and a bass.
I would still love to have a SG, V, 335, and a Tele!
-
if it makes you happy, then i think its cool to have as many or as few guitars as you want or need.
i have a handful of guitars now, and i only feel a personal attachment to two of them - ironically the ones I use most live.
it is really cr@p to lock guitars away for investment and /never/ play them. but totally cool to get them out the case once every few months and blast them :)
i'd like a couple more flying vs thats for sure, guess i'm slightly obssesive about that shape. and some kind of fender, and i'm still in awe of '54 black beauty les pauls. over the coming years i hope to get them, but i'm in no super rush.
-
Well... I have the following
[Skuld] Les Paul Standard (Heritage Cherry Sunburst) - I went for an SG3 (faded) tried this, liked it and can't figure out how the flip I ended up with it. Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot, but it's everything I thought I didn't like. Oh, it's got a 60s neck so that's probably what clinched it. That and it not being as heavy as I expected... [Probably put either a pair of Painkillers, or a Painkiller and a Warpig in]
[Urd] Vintage Advance Av3 - ES335-alike. [Keep meaning to put a pair of Rebel Yells in]
[Belldandy] SG Goddess - 2 extra pots so tone and volume per pickup, pair of Mississippi Queens.
Oh, and a Burns Double Six - which is the only one that doesn't get played so much, an SG bass, and an 80's Japanese Fender Strat that I may, or may not be selling [set of Trilogy Suites]
[/i]

Guitars are meant to be played. Just like cars are meant to be driven. Keeping a guitar in a case, even if it's in a conditioned environment, can actually ruin a guitar. Truss rods, moving parts etc. need to be checked every now and then. Rest rusts.
And then there's guitars that are made and bought exclusively for collectors who can't even play like the Gretsch Stray Cat Relic and the Fender Blackie. I just don't get it.
How many vintage guitars are there in collectors hands while those guitars should be played on a stage for everybody to enjoy?
-

Is that true? It's a bold claim...
-
Moving parts can lock up when they're not used for long periods of time. When the guitar is stored away, you have to be certain that the guitar is spotless clean. Fingerprints can wear into the chrome and or finish.

OK, as an owner of 22 guitars I readily admit that I have far too many :)
I never intended to "collect" & for years I got by with 4-5 guitars. But when I got my custom Jackson I decided to work towards having 6 really nice guitars that covered all my requirements & get rid of my older guitars. Then I realised that none of the guitars I wanted to sell were worth anything so I might as well keep them, then I realised that my 6 planned guitars didn't include a bass or a 12-string, then I decided I wanted a nice Les Paul, then I realised I didn't have anything with single coils etc etc etc...
"Surely you don't need so many" is what non-players typically say. Well, strictly speaking I don't need more than one - in fact I don't need any guitars :) - it's a fatuous argument IMO: people don't need wardrobes full of shoes & fashionable clothes, racks of DVDs/videos, games consoles, flat-screen TVs, PCs, foreign holidays, cameras, ipods, books, jewellery, ornaments, or any other bric-a-brac - but life would be pretty damn dull without them.
I have a demanding, stressful job, for which I am paid well enough to indulge my hobby while still providing for my family. Anyone who thinks I don't deserve to have the guitars I have is just jealous & can p*ss off...
-
...they were slightly miffed/aggrieved/upset that I had so many guitars that spent most of their time just sat around in cases. Guitars are meant to be played, apparently.
Actually, it's just occurred to me what a stupid remark that is. Unless you are a jobless anorexic agoraphobic obsessive-compulsive insomniac with chronic constipation and/or a colostomy bag, then any guitar - even if you only have one - spends more time in its case than in your hands :lol:
-

The one disadvantage of owning many guitars is that I'm forever changing strings & other maintenance :( Things wear out, break, corrode - even with no use.
FWIW I play ALL my guitars & of those 22 guitars, I only have one real dud that I wish I could get rid of. At the moment it's languishing under my desk at the office for when I really don't want to wait until I get home to play - so even that guitar has a use... :)
-
I have 8. 6 electrics a bass and an acoustic. I've given away 2 and sold 1.
I have plans whirling round for 4 more, and a little bit of a pie-in-the-sky plan for a fifth.
I tend to buy them on whim when a guitar up my street, that I can get a use out of and worth the money comes my way. Bar my first proper guitar, which was a blend of plan and bargain, and my Legra. I've been given a couple, too.
I have them for functions (tunings, setups in general) and sounds (woods, pickups, tones). I'm not in the least fussed about owning certain names or building a collection for its own sake.
All my guitars have a character and a bit of a story (most of which only I'm interested in, and perhaps any other big guitar geek). My collection just baffles any non-guitarist and most guitarists think its awesome or just take it in their stride as 'my thing'. I personally know one person that has about as many as me, and guitars are our main topic of conversation.
Owning for investments? No thanks. Collecting to have certain famous models? Yaaawwwwwn.
But the bottom line is: people can do what the hell they want with their money.
-
It's interesting that most people seem to be of the opinoin "do what you want, it's your cash".
How many are seriously annoyed by people who have 20+ guitars knocking about?
(P.S. I'm not trying to stir up trouble here, I'm just interested in whether fellow guitarists get annoyed by guitars being in cases in spare rooms. I've not seen the anger in another guitarist until recently...)

no i wouldn't be annoyed. if anything i'd give respect if they at least played them time to time and enjoyed owning them.
EDIT: especially if it would be a specialist collection. i know you're a big ibanez fan for example. not my thing, but nice one :)
-
pure jealousy.....thats all they wish they had that collection

I wouldnt say annoyed, but it just seems kinda pointless to have that many guitars lying around. I have 3 electrics and 1 acoustic, and even then I feel "guilty" about playing one more than the others :lol:
Now, I just need an SG with P90s, a vee and a tele :roll: :P

The finish of my '81 Hamer Special has somehow reacted with the furry lining of its case. It's not a pretty sight. I think I need to bin the case, wet-sand the whole guitar and polish it, but I never get round to it.
Worst thing is, that's what it looked like 2 or 3 years ago, and I haven't checked it since.... I might find the guitar and case have melted together into one big lump. :(

pics?!
-
I'd have to open the case to take pics, and I'm afraid. Very afraid.
It probably wouldn't show up very well on a pic, anyway. The back and sides of the guitar have acquired a strange textured matt appearance. I'm not sure if the lining has pressed into the finish or if it's slowly dissolving and sticking to the finish, it's hard to tell. :?
-
HMMM- very often it is partners /wives/girlfriends/parent who maybe dont play that cant understand why the need for many guitars
I have yet to meet many girls who have less than 6 pairs of shoes
A previous girlfriend had over 120 pairs and many were pretty expensive
(not Manolo Blahniks or Jimmy Choos - but expensive all the same)
I do feel it is a shame to have something and lock it away and not ge to derive pleasure from it on a regular basis.
I also feel bad about some of the worlds precious timbers that are used on very expensive guitars being locked away as an investment - but nowhere near as bad as those same timbers being cut down and BURNT just to make way for more cattle farming so Mcdonalds or whoever can have a cheaper burger
-
I think it's cool to have lots of guitars. I have 4 with a custom on the way.
I've known a few petrol heads over the years and the amount they spend on cars is amazing, especially the bloke i once knew who did drag racing!
What we spend on guitars over the years isn't that much, plus you have the advantage of them never really wearing out, unlike a car for example.
It's different guitars for different sounds/styles of music. I'd like a load more but space to put them is a problem. I know I'll still get some more though.
Tell you friends to mind their own if their criticising!

I find meself playing less but the kids more and more, so I know those gits will be taken good care of. :)

It was funny reading what Jonathan said about ladies and their shoes.A certain lady I know (Mrs 38th) makes Imelda Marcos look like a shoeless waif from Victorian London which is handy if she ever gets to complaining about my pitiful array of 6 guitars. I think she was a centipede in a previous life. I have 2 Strats, a Tele, a Precision bass and two acoustics-I use them all a lot and over the years have earned enough out of music to easily say that they haven't cost me anything-not that that makes any difference-it juts makes me able to add a little sneer to my "justification".
-
I wanted to collect guitars but lack of money always got in the way - i did have around 16 cheap guitars before i started building the. It was mainly down to the sheer amount of maintenance that those guitars needed that i got into building & repair -infact most of them ended up as donors and guneui pigs to practice repair on.
Now i have a collection of guitar parts!!
I have one black limba (korina) and maple burl electric with BKPs, and one acoustic that i made a few years ago - they are my permanent guitars that wont be sold. Both of these sound and play fantastic but have a few too many cosmetic mistakes to let me sell them - at least thats what i am telling the missus!!
I also usually have a few side projects and experiments lying around that i use till i need the parts for something else. currently i have a lap-steel that took about an hour to make and is really rough - but so much fun
i cant really justify spending lots of money on gear anymore because i have very little time to play them, i even find it hard to justify keeping one of my builds for myself unless it flawed and i dont build enough each year to keep much in 'stock' yet
-
Then I realised that none of the guitars I wanted to sell were worth anything so I might as well keep them, then I realised that my 6 planned guitars didn't include a bass or a 12-string, then I decided I wanted a nice Les Paul, then I realised I didn't have anything with single coils etc etc etc...
Exactly how I hope to be eventually (when I have money.
-
Better stop playing on here and do some revision then :wink:

As someone who owns over 60 guitars and had a friend with about 80, I find no problem with people having a lot of guitars. One thing that I do know, when I had just 10, I could even justify it to my wife at the time because even she could hear the difference between an acoustic and a bass. As time has gone by and I have had some spare money, I have bought guitars that I always wanted but couldn't afford when I was playing professionally. Since I do most of my own tech work, I keep all of them playable and rotate the favourite ones. Some are valuable, but that is because of the time I have owned them, rather than what I payed for them. I don't really have collector grade guitars, because mine are all players.
I have no problem with the number of guitars I have, and there will be more in the future. If others do, I personally don't give a shite, they don't have to have so many. Everyone is diifferent. My friend Tom who passed away had the right idea, life is too short (in his case this was really true), so if you want something and you find it available, and can afford it, then get it, you will feel better for it!!!
-
I'm with you Phil. Life IS too short and you have to have fun while you're here. I spend too much money on guitars, but I enjoy having and playing them - no matter how little use they get.
Stuff 'em :twisted:
-
Have to agree with that sentiment.
I have no problem with collectors as long as they actually like guitars.
It's the people who in reality are as interested in collecting guitars as much as matchbox labels that I tend to have issues over. My father collected stamps and was as usually more interested a common stamp (from an interesting place or time) as he was in an expensive one.
As long as the collector enjoys owning them I would never dream of having an issue. Paul Allen (ex of microsoft) is an example of this kind of rich but interested collector
Rob...

I've certainly got no problem whatsoever with anyone having a large guitar collection. As Kilby says, if they enjoy owning the instruments, then great. I'm less keen on people who buy '59 Les Pauls and the like purely as 'investment pieces', and don't play them, even occasionally. With that said however, at least from a historical preservation point of view, buyers like that are looking after the guitars well.
I do think it's quite presumptuous of people to be telling you how to spend your money. I'm all for the idea of 'Do what you want, it's your money.'
I've currently got 7 guitars, and I also have a Warmoth Soloist on order. If I don't play a guitar at all, I will consider selling it, and to that end, the ESP will be replaced by a Fender US Strat at some point next week. I don't play any of my guitars as much as I would like, and I still largely suck as a player despite being at it for 13 years, but I get a massive kick out of owning all of them. Hopefully it will stay that way.
I really can't understand guitarists who get annoyed by other players with large collections of nice gear. I never have, and I sincerely hope I never do.
-
Honestly I don't mind people who buy 59 les pauls and stick them in a safe.
Cos to be frank - If I had one, I'd do the exact same thing, cept I don't have a safe, so in my care it would get damaged.
Collector's guitars, are collector's guitars, while player's guitars are player's guitars.
A player wouldn't get a collector's guitar, or if he did, he wouldn't play it and would keep it in as good a condition as possible, while a collector wouldn't buy a player's guitar, due to them often not being guitarists.
-
I get jealous of massive guitar collections, but I don't have a problem with people owning them.
Although I would be a bit miffed if a lottery winner or a royal decided to start playing guitar and just went out and bought a prs custom or something.

Why? What difference does it make? [Car analogies will not be accepted, since some cars are genuinely harder to drive than others... :)]

If you have earned your money and want to become a guitarist, go out and buy whatever and however many guitars as you like, you've earned your money, spend it on what you like.
Royals and Lottery winners who have to start on beginner instruments like the rest of us and work up to a real nice guitar I don't have a problem with because they've earned the right to a nice guitar.
Lottery winners and royals who decide to start and spend a mint on their first axe annoy me largely because of the injustice of it. where have they got their fortunes from? picking numbers and being born respectively.
Yet there are guitarists who are truly excellent and have been playing for years, who really deserve a custom of some description, but can't afford it.
Fancy a revolution comrades?

i only buy guitars that really capture my attention and i think i'll only have about 5 max when i'm done... but of course, if someone wants to own heaps of guitars who's to stop them?

I know what you mean, but the problem is when you go out to a couple of good stores, you always see something that grabs your attention (for a while anyway).
I could imagine myself if I had a few million in the bank, ending up a collection in an unintentional way. I understand John Entwistles old collection as it seemed to grow in that manner.
However I don't understand collections that are purely about bragging rights though. You may as well brag about your collection of matchboxes

^ agreed. if i had almost limitless cash (and assuming if i did, i had room to store them), i could see myself having loads of guitars... but it'd be kinda "this one's for when i need that early 50's tele tone, this one's for the 60's strat tone..., this one just sounded and played awesome in the shop..." etc.

That's exactly how I've ended up with as many as I have :roll:
Also need to add "this one was a total bargain" ;)
-
When I'm having GAS, the girlfriend tries to be the voice of reason and points out that my parents will say "But you don't NEED another one!" To which my response is inevitably, "Wrong! You always need more! I can have this one tuned to D standard, this to Drop C, this to..."
She just gives up, so I win. :D But yes- my point is that you should collect if you find the guitars nice and really like them- and probably intend to play them, since a guitar gathering dust should not exist. People who have guitars in the corner of their room but don't play them get on my tits. ^_^

Well, I take turns with mine, one one day, another one the next, and so on. They still get a bit of dust on them though :(

Well, you know what I mean- people who have guitars but never, ever play them and they've only got 5 strings and they've sat in the same place for years, only getting moved around when the mother comes in to clean the room... grrr. >_< I take turns on my current two as well ^_^ My Les Paul is my band guitar currently since it sounds so nice tuned down, so to compensate for using that a lot I play the Flying V whenever I'm practicing at home. :D
