One guitar owners

What's Hot

Are there any members who own just one guitar? If so, what've you got and how did you arrive at being happy with just that guitar? Currently I own a classical and two electrics, and although that might seem hardly anything, I weirdly find it quite overwhelming. It'd be nice just to have one guitar and not worry about any others.

    One electric , one acoustic, that doesn't count, does it?
    A Deuce , a Tele and a cup of tea.

    Me too. I like it though.
    I had 10 at one point!
     I know I should go further & sell one of the 3 as i hardly ever play it- a LP and a tele are all anyone could need.

    Red ones are better.

    I think the answer, if there is one, will also be the key to a successful marriage.

    Yep, i'm down to just one now. My PRS Mira X in DV Olive Green, its a really disgusting looking guitar but its so full of character and cool tones. I've owned heaps of top end gear, but i settled on one of the simplest and cheapest I've owned, its just a very good guitar.

  • I just have one guitar now, if money didn't matter I'd have loads! But whilst money does matter, I do like just having one. It keeps things simple.

    Those people with one guitar, should we do a telethon or fun run for these poor destitute souls?

    same, tho the electric doesn't get played. So I guess from a playing POV I only have one guitar.


    EDIT: I like just having the one TBH, I don't worry about whether I sound like this player or that band, whther I need a dread, or a parlour, whether I should have a RW guitar and so on. I just play the thing.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    If you own 28 crap guitars.....then No.

    Try to understand that Snowy White or Justin Hayward would probably not have wanted to swop with you.

    I have just 2 electrics. 
    PRS Cu22
    and a CE24. 

    I could prob get away with just a CU24 but the neck pickup is sooooo much nicer on 22fret guitars. 

    The Bolton is a bit snappier and brighter as its Alder bodied. 

    The Glued neck is a tad darker and thicker, mahogany body and different pickups. 

    But I could easily gig either one all night, the other is literally a spare.

    I only have 1 guitar, 1990s Les Paul Studio. I am currently looking for something Strat-ish though so that may change soon. The most Ive had at one time is 2 guitars and a Ukulele, rock 'n roll.......................
    Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow.....

    For years I only had 1 electric and 1 acoustic. After all, I can only play one at a time.
    It's only since being on this forum that I started to feel inadequate in the guitar department and since I gave up gigging that I started to acquire more.
    Mind you, I've got shitloads of banjos but only because I buy them and fix'em up and I find them more interesting than guitars.

    One electric and one acoustic for me, love it the electric has an emg 81 and a emg h single coil, with that pairing I can so every ring I want, roll it off for clean clarity or roll it up for filth, the acoustic is a 60s guild f20 and the only acoustic I'll ever need

    You posted this as a joke, but i don't find it much more ridiculous than folk who have 7 virtually indistinguishable Les Paul's or Strats.
