Non rust strings must be a very welcome development if you have a house full of guitars.

A wise man once said, "You can't have too many guitars."

There's not enough Gibsons in the OP

There also one in a cupboard and enough parts for another two Strats... Almost a Gibson lurking in there... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/Niallmo/009_zps07acfbd8.jpg

Certainly room for a few nice acoustics there. Your good work is far from over.

Absolutely out of hand...far too many pointy guitars and not enough teles

You think you're out of hand... I'm 18 and I have nine. With plans for more. And two pedalboards.

So inspiring.  

I'm 23, I have 4 1/2 guitars (including a bass and a guitar that I still don't own, and will need to finish, buy pickups for and generally fettle).  I hardly have room for those! I have 4 effects pedals.  One of them is a tuner...

I might sell my Tele body to help fund my trip around Europe.  Which is a shame as it's gorgeous.  So that'll take me down to just 4 guitars.

I think we need to dig the thread out for our @bucket scores.

If you get rid of the pedal tuner, and get a clip on, you'll free up enough floor space for another guitar, I reckon!

You're welcome..!

I'm very much in the small number of posh ones camp, but whatever tickles your pickle.

I haven't studied what you have but that's a significant amount of guitars. It's funny my wife said that she preferred it when I bought and sold golf clubs. However, I never showed her the picture of the person that had a spare room full of putters and about 8 full sets with staff bags. I think I maxed out at 3 sets, but I bought/sold a crazy number of clubs over about a 5 year span.

Now it's guitars. I am now on number 5 (Pacifica, Fret King, Shine semi hollow (now on ebay at over twice the price it sold for?), Strat, now tele. But, they are slightly harder to store (can't just leave them in a cold garage). It might be 6 buy end of weekend, the only saving grace it that I have had no more than 2 and currently trying to keep 1 at a time although my wife asked me to enjoy the one I have before selling/trading again.

The thing is, for me it is a release from work, in the same way modding is. I just need to find one that I really gel with. I think it could be the Blacktop Strat, that is until I fancy the 339. :-)

I had 13 guitars at one stage. I sold a most of them and felt quite liberated by it. Went down to about 4. I'm now upto 6.  I think the number of guitars you own is more a mental thing than physical. When I had 13 I often felt the need to play them all and would play a couple of songs with one then move onto the next. This often required tuning, slight tweaks to amps and pedals. Never really gel'd or got to know any one particular guitar. At that time I had been playing 1-2 years so the experience of trying stuff probably far outweighed my ability. Don't even mention changing strings on a regular basis or setups!  Also had a similar thing with pedals and is probably part of the reason now I only use 1 or 2 pedals with an amp.

Now I'll often play a couple of the guitars every day so everything gets used every 2 to 3 days.

You have to find what number you are happy with.

I would like to hear from somebody who has 1 guitar and 10 awesome amps.
