Those are all on one line because I dont have enough space for my instruments, not because the formatting is broken on ipad for some reason!

25, I think. I have a spreadsheet for all this shit, but it wouldn't surprise me if I'd forgotten one. And 13 amps, and 45 pedals. I think.

I'd like another acoustic or 2 at some point, and a Ricky 360, then I'm done. 

And a Jazzmaster. And a Gretsch. Oh bugger

Catthan

13 in 18 years. Currently have 4; the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 13th.. Got one more on order which should stay for life unless I become broke and it becomes collectable..

Their is no way I'll be typing them all on a phone keyboard, but over the last 20 years I have owned 67, in the early days it was more about the guitars as a object than an instrument I was properly obsessed with them. For the last ten, it's been about playability tone and usefulness, if that makes sense.

Standout guitars for me are
77 les Paul custom
77 cherry sunburst tele
Parker fly deluxe
Takamine en20
Gibson tal Farlow
Gibson custom shop es330
3rd world guitars custom made carbon backed electric.
Steve Smith custom strat
Guild f 20
Les Paul traditional pro 2

I feel really lucky and honoured to have owned so many high calibre instruments, the problem is after a while it's.. Just another gibson or just another this or that, I'm actually quite glad I went through some hardship 2 years ago and I had to sell all my guitars apart from one. As it made me appreciate what I had.
Now I'm sorted again and have slowly built up my collection I really appreciate what I have and love the fact I built up my current collection for the sounds they make not just the boasting rights of owning a high end gibson, as I now finally understand it means nothing if you can't make it sing.
