how many guitars have you owned?

thermionic

I went through a period of upgrading in my late teens and early twenties (Satellite, Japanese Les Paul copy, Squier Strat) but I don't flip them often these days. I've had my Strat and Tele for about 10 years, I sold a Dot last year which I bought in about 2002 and my "nice" acoustic I've owned for 12-13 years despite wanting a change (which I can't afford to do). In fact at this point in my life I'm thinking any other guitars I buy are in for the long haul - and that means saving up for a while and finding the right one.

I have owned 5, and still have 3.

Squier Strat - my first guitar, now retired to the loft
Gibson LP Custom - sold to Slate of this shire
CS 1960 Strat - still own it, my main squeeze
Gibson R8 - sold
Taylor Baby Mahogany - still own it, set up for slide

I feel inadequate judging by most of the posts on here.

Too many and they've all practically exceeded my skill level.

Yup, here too. And for the record it's 9.

9 here, and I still have 9. Can't see me getting rid of any of them any time soon

I've moved on

1x Hohner LP copy

1x Fender precision

1x Squire Strat

1x Epi LP Custom

I still have the other 5 

boogieman

I've owned about 30... ummm, I think. It's hard to remember: the great ones and the really shitty ones stick in my mind far more than the rest. 

I've thinned the herd a fair bit recently and am down to 4 electrics and two acoustics now. There's a couple more I'd love to own but they'd be very expensive and I couldn't really justify it.  Never say never, but I think my buying days are finished tbh.

I just hope someone starts a thread like this on amps, then I think I'd be in the lesser areas.
