So many guitars..

[Philly Q]

Down to "just" 24 electrics and a bass at the moment.  :oops:

I'm on 19 electrics and 2 acoustics at the moment.  Two electrics are for sale though, so I'll be under the magic 20 soon  :)

I know what you mean about the "magic 20" - it seems a more reasonable number somehow!  :lol:

I'd like to get to that point, and I have maybe 2 or 3 guitars I might sell, but after that I'd be really struggling...

3-4 years,
10W KUSTOM practice amp
30W VOX AD30VT
Toneport UX1 + Metal Shop
BOSS GT-8

Encore Stratocaster
Indie Signature
Indie 'Dragon'
Jackson JS30RR
Ibanez RG08LTD
Ibanez RG1570
Ibanez RG7321
Ibanez GRG (not sure on exact model)
Dean Baby V

Haven't sold anything yet. My 'gear' is a bit guitar heavy but only cause I don't have a permanent residence right now.

[Ian Price]

Indie 'Dragon'

I used to have one of those - great guitar but a bit flashy!

[Roobubba]

I've been playing for 17 years and have owned 3 guitars in that time (the third for 3 days so far):
1 Esquire Strat (which my parents sold at a car boot sale without me knowing!);
1 Ibanez RG470F/TBL (which I still own and has just become my backup guitar); and a
1 (and only) Wez Venables Vociferator (as if you didn't know!), which naturally has become my "main" guitar.

I'm not counting my 1 and only acoustic, or the really cr@ppy bass I bought for 20 quid off a mate ages ago to do a bit of recording with...

I'm definitely a one-guitar guy - the second guitar is there as a backup for gigs only.

Amps: 3 in 17 years:
1 Fender Princeton 112 plus (in the attic);
1 Randall RG200 (bought, played for a bit, got my money back because it broke down twice very soon after purchase);
1 Peavey 5150-II (Current and only real amplifier).

I can't see myself changing guitars or amp any time soon. :)

I havent been through loads. Been playing about 8 years  now I think. I started with a Jim Harley strat and some cheap Kustom 10w amp. I still have that guitars body but its been stripped down and oiled, I just dont have a neck for it. Thinking about picking up one of those £30 ones off ebay but cant decide whether to get maple or rosewood board. I dont think they do a large headstock either which is a bit of a disappointment.

I then moved up to a Kustom KGA65 which I still have in the attic somewhere. Didnt like the distortion on it for some reason so I got a V-Amp 2 (which I also still have). At this time I got my Epiphone LP Custom which I also still have, stopped playing the strat for about 5 years of solid LP usage which is why I love them so much now and cant get on with other guitars very well :P Anyway by this time I was a bit bored of the Kustom so I got a Fender HRDx, tried for about 2 years with various pedals to get a sound I was happy with but never did so ended up getting my dad to get me a Laney GH50L for my 18th :D The year after that I bought a Charvel Model 1c but got rid of it after a few months as it sounded shiteee with any pickups I tried. Put together a parts strat last summer. It looked great but I cant get on with the sound of normal sss strats and it didnt play too well either. Sold that to Brow and sort of regret it as it looks awesome now and I bet it plays nice after a proper setup and fret dress. Didnt bother with new guitars until March of this year I think it was, where I bought Twinfans Pearl LP Custom. Love it now its had a decent fret dress and setup :)

well that ended up being longer than I thought it would be!

for the tl;dr guys, thats a total of:
5 guitars (2 of which I still own)
4 amps (1 of which I still own)
various pedals, ended up keeping the Keeley Rat I bought off HJM and still use it quite a bit.

[Dazza1004]

owned, now gone

Strat copy, 1st guitar
Peavey wolfgang, modded it and regretted it
Ibanez Jem 10th - cracking axe, scared to play it
Ibanez Jem 7VSBL - Hated the pups, wanted the cash for other stuff
2 x Yam pacifica's -  great guitars, sold to reduce guitar count
Fender USA strat ultra - sold to fund the wolfie, big mistake
Gibson Gary Moore Les Paul - massive neck + girly hands = no fun
Lite Ash Strat - despite full set up from Feline was very buzzy and tinny
Ibanez JS1000 - got it chromed and it urned out shitee


Still got
Jap Jackson - 1st real guitar, needs a re-fret and hew pups/pots etc
2 x Ibanez RG550 20th anniversary, 1 with NB set, I have a HD set for the other
Partick eggle berlin with MM set
Stock PRS Cu24 artist, the guitar against which all other are judged, usually they fail miserably
2006 LP standard with earvana nut and RY/CS set. Despite what the general interweb collective thinks of gibsons I love it for what it is. I could'nt live with it as my olny guitar though
Washburn x50 pro FE, cost me £200, it's one of my favorites
Ibanez Jem 7DBK - had this since 2002, for some reason I have really bonded with this guitar

Amps
not many, gone are the peavey special 112, the marshall avt100 and the cornford hurricane (not versitle enough for me)

Currently got a stiletto ace 1x12 which is great at what it does but since I saw alter bridge I think I am going to chop it for something more modern, maybe a herbert.

Should be a resonator on the list sometime in the next few months too, dying to get one!

An absolutely shameless plug here, but you should try my good buddy John at www.deltaresonatorguitars.co.uk (and also his mate at www.diamondbottlenecks.com)

They're the absolute mutts nuts.

Some lovely stuff but wayyy out of my price range at the moment.. I'm thinking more along the lines of eBaying myself a SH Ozark or something cheap just to screw with for a while. Will have to sell it when I go back to Australia anyway so I don't see the point getting something fancy at the minute..

Once I do get back home though I'm considering a Busker Delta or possibly a Michael Messer. Seems they're the best value for money in resonators at the moment.

Maybe I could track down JMT and steal his Ellis beast..  :o

[kellar]

You guys are all crazy! :lol:

I am in the same boat as Roobubba. Always been a one guitar/amp kind of guy.

Been playing 15 years now:

6 Amps
5 Guitars
10 Pedals

[ToneMonkey]

My mates had a few of the Ozarks in and has to do some remidial work on them.  Generally I think he has to re-bridge and re-nut them as well ask making sure the cone sits properly.  I also seem to remeber him saying something about one of them that had screws in a very strange way.

There's a thread somewhere about resos on here.  I think a few people liked the look of the Michael Messer ones.

Same here, I hate gear shopping so I usually just stick to the one thing. In the times I've tried something "new" (IE something that isnt a les paul) I've sold it so I might as well stick to what I know :P If I had more guitars I'd feel guilty about not playing the others enough.

[mikey5]

Man some of you dudes are insane. Shame on you Philly Q 63

Well I am glad that you all mentioned it so I dont feel bad about buying a second Les Paul Edwards(Having difficulty deciding on Standard or Custom Model at the moment(and Color) but so far

Ibanez GIO

I now have
Orange TT

Just started measuring up for a Cigar Box Guitar Resonator (so probably another 3 years until that's finished at the usual rate of work)

Half built Les Paul double cut in the shed (although may be firewood soon - the neck was)
Bits and pieces of various guitars floating round

Had:
Cheapass Vantage strat to learn on (with cr@ppy amp)
3/4 acoustic which cost me £12.50 and I wish I never got rid of
Applause Acoustic

Think that's about it.

[mecca777]

I've been playing for 17 years. Current tally: 7 electric guitars, 2 acoustic guitars, 2 amplifiers and 3 effects pedals. Over the years, the only other gear I've had has been one electric guitar that's no longer with me (Epi SG, damaged beyond repair) and a few effects pedals that I've moved on (including a Boss DC-3 Digital Dimension that I regret letting go).

Like Roo, I'm not much of a one for changing it up; the core of my rig continues to be the Ibanez RG570 (with RG770 neck) that I've had since 1995, and the Marshall Silver Jubilee 50w head I bought the same year. Anything else I've bought has been a useful tool rather than a "must-have" ultimate object of desire. :)
