How many do you need?

[MDV]

Dear Mr Three.Letter.Acronym...

Please refer to the following televised debate which fully encapsulates what I believe to be the quality of your argument so far...

The question wasn't aimed at GAS as a bad thing there was no limit put on the number of guitars someone may need the need was meant to relate to the number of genuinly different guitars wou have to have to give you all the playing styles you want to play and how many guitars are there for some other reason. So someone may need 3 LPs one with bluesy pickups, one with a vintage tone and one contemporary to cover a range of styles they may also need a heavy metal jackson etc. Having got this range it is perfectly legitimate to improve one for a better tone or closer simulacrum.

Some people will be happy with the approximations to tone they can get with a single guitar and digital emulators or effects where others are not. So the question goes back to how many do you need to play what you want to play.

I could have asked another question with a similar feel which is how many of the guitars you own have significantly different tone or are significantly different to play. Or how many guitars can you group into genre clusters.

Some one with 11 guitars - an acoustic, a semi acoustic, a classical, a flamenco, a strat style heavy, a strat style 50s, a metal master, a vintage LP, contemporary LP, a super strat with trem, a tele

Would not classify the same as someone with 11 strats in different colours.

/Ontopic

actually I have 13 strats:
1957 White maple neck - Apaches
1957 Sunburst Bravewood - a copy of my real 57 so that I can play it out and it has a slightly wider nut and A5 Apaches*
1957 Sunburst reissue - 1969 original fender pickups
1961 White Slab board - 2 original pickups - 1 BKP AV Apache
1963 Burgandy Mist - all original
1964 Fiesta Red Bravewood - HSS RY & 2 Mothers Milks
Shell Pink Hardtail - Pau Ferro fingerboard - BK 1962 Strat set **
Black HSS - Ebony fingerboard - HSS Stormy Monday & 2 Sultans
White - Aframosia Neck - Apache set with baseplates
Sunburst Wenge/Bloodwood neck - large headstock - BK 69 Strat set **
Flamed Redwood rear cavity warmoth with half scalloped ebony fingerboard - HSS - Holy Diver & 2 Trilogy Suites
Sunburst Rosewood board HH - will have VHII's soon
hollow quilted maple, maple neck, lh neck pickup slant, reverse vintage stagger Irish Tours

* due next month
** waiting for these pickups to arrive.

Out of curiosity due you have any interest in the D'Temple, Anderson, Surh, D'Pergo strat-clones or simply pure fender?

Also what's a BK 69 strat set?

[WezV]

if phil was into pure fender do you think he would have a 1957  strat with apaches??


from what i know of phil he buys guitars because of how they sound acousticly and then buys pickkups to make them sound as good as they can

most people i know who own 57 strats are all about trying to find original parts to make them as perfect as possible - sometimes at the detriment to the sound


barein mind with BKP, the have a list of products but you also have somebody at the helm who knows a lot... so whilst thee may be a BKP 69 strat set at some point - never forget you can ask tim for that anyway even ifits not on the product list and he will deliver.  like i just got a perfect P-bass pickup which they have made for a while but never advertised

[Bradock PI]

I thought he posted BK 1962 strat set not BK 69 ?

And sorry for picking on strats like that was thinking more of someone that had aa stack of 2006-2008 strats over time and with age there have been a lotta changes? Really was trying to see how many people collect as a collection and how many collect to play, and by play I don't mean once a year I mean regular !! like you don't need cascara !!

[Johnny Mac]

D. I want loads cos I love them. I can't function properly if I don't get the gear I want so I need them.

[Copperhead]

Do you see that girl's bicycle?
