I was feeling a little guilty having two Les Pauls but seeing that collection makes me feel much better [thumbup] [thumbup]

Okay, what am I missing here? Nice collection to the OP btw. But here's my point. I have a lot (by my standards anyway) a lot of guitars. 20. I don't have many duplicates. I have one LP, one Strat, one Tele, one Dot, one Casino, one elec 12 string, one acoustic 12 string, one acoustic, one a/e...well, you get my drift. I understand that each guitar is "different" but why do you need multiples of the same make/model? Like I said, what am I missing here?

^ it's a 2007 VOS I bought two years ago. I put in OX4s and an aftermarket harness.

I enjoy playing them all, and I can afford it, so why not? That's all there is to it and I still want to get at least one more Les Paul...and SG. Other models, I just need one of each and I don't like acoustics.

I understand that but it still doesn't answer the original question of why? If one guitar with certain p/u's, body style etc. is going to give you the same sound as six others, well, why own them all? Keep the one that you like best, and sell the rest. Just MHO and certainly YMMV, which it does, and no offense intended or taken. In any event, nice collection.

I can't answer for Tim but I have a sizable collection of guitars as well. In my collection I have 4 Flying Vs and 15 SGs as well as 9 Les Pauls and more other guitars than I care to list. I buy them for their uniqueness. Even though I have 5 2016 SG guitars out of my 15 SGs, they are all different. One has a Floyd Rose with Dirty Fingers, one is a standard with P90s, another is a faded special then I have two 70s reissues, one a hp in faded cherry and the other a T in ebony. Each is unique in its own way. I guess some of us are just collectors or guitar junkies.

Are you a hitman or a drug lord? How do you get so many? 😜😜😜

 

A celebrity. Canadian TV star.

 

Looks like the Pearly and the Warren Haynes are still in the herd. My two favorites. Diggin' the TV yellow JR too, Tim! [thumbup]

Oh man, if it was between sitting on your couch or sitting on a couch with all the Victoria Secret girls....

 

I'd pick the girls but still, that is a great collection! [thumbup]

 

I do wanna address the multiple of the same thing. It is really weird but two of the same can be vastly different. From one to another, same year make model etc one may be heavier and the other have more sustain. Also, it makes me feel better that if I break a neck I have the exact one in the closet. Just my two.

Male gigolo, actually. [biggrin]

 

Dennis, no offense taken but what does it matter? I wanted this many Les Pauls (and more), so why not? Why do you have a Dot and Sheridan? Those two are similar enough to me and to most people. Why do you have both? Why on earth to you need 20 guitars? Who cares if they're all different, they basically all do the same thing. Do you have to justify or explain why? No, you just have 20 because you either wanted or felt like you needed that many. It's no different.

 

Bill, I'll just let you have that one. [biggrin]

 

pup, that is Pearly but I never owned a Haynes model.

 

Dub, Metropoulos 10,000 head with a matching True Era 4x12 straight cab, 1974x clone, Tungsten Crema Wheat, Victoria 518, a Red Iron Lil' Mo (that I run through the 4x12, it's quiet and awesome), and a Yamaha THR-10C. I don't have a pic of the others but here you go. Not a collection, though, and neither are the guitars. We can argue (OK, discuss) this all day until we're both blue in the face but I don't collect music gear. To me, collections are things you accumulate in order to complete an entire set, you try and keep them pristine, you don't use them, and partially for monetary reasons. I'm not trying to have one of each, I actually like playing all these and sell what doesn't get used. I also don't try and keep them mint, don't care if I wear them out, don't care if they go up in value, and often take a loss when I sell any because they're not good investments. They're instruments, I use them for fun, that's all there is to it. Feel free to call it a harem [biggrin] but please do not say nice collection.

 

Izzy, come over any time. [biggrin]

 

saturn, I had my fun with them but sold every other I had. Probably around 10 all-in-all. I like this one a lot (McCarty) but don't think I'd ever buy another PRS.

Sweet collection [thumbup] I myself have 20 Gibsons at present, though only 3 of them are Custom Shop. These include a '57 Les Paul Custom reissue, ES 5 Switchmaster and an L5CES, though my Dove says it's a custom shop on the back of the neck and my 175 came with a custom shop COA and case, yet says Memphis on the inner label. I only have 8 Gibson Les Pauls (including the '57 Reissue) and can see how they can become addictive. I'd still like an R8 to add to the collection. I like diversity though, so an L4CES would be on the list first (as an alternative to my 175) and an ES 345.
