Okay, Fess Up; How Many Guitars?


Jimi D-Bo

Recommended Posts

Five if you include the "Woodrow" and the "Estaban" I bought so the grand kids would leave my good equipment alone. The three that count are:

 

1989 Gibson J200

Late 60's Guild 212XL 12 string

Brand new Zager ZAD-80E

 

One more and I get a free divorce!

(Are they EVER "free???" [confused]

I've owned more than 200 guitars, basses, amps, etc., but the most I ever had at the same time was around a dozen. Today it's three guitars ('05 Gibson J-45 Historic Collection, '12 Kremona Fiesta classical, post-'08 Seagull S-6 knockaround) and one ukulele ('50s Favilla U-2 soprano) - and I wish I had more time to play them all!

Just one if you are counting acoustics: J35. I had been GAS free for quite a while until that came out. Three with my Reso and Tele added. These cover all my fret boarding noodling needs. Great fun.

Hey JC. I have bought a J50 from Fuller's. They were great to deal with.

Question... Why do you keep guitars at Fuller's instead of at your home where you could play them? Ignore me if I am out of line; you have the cream of the crop. I want to play them!

Sal,

 

I Haven't lived in the states for close to 15 years ... and I am preparing the move back.

As you know moving is not an easy task and having the guitars here with me would just be a bigger hassle

So I spoke to Jeremy about keeping them there while I make the transition.

It's taken very long but I'm hoping to have my affairs in order by January 2015.

 

 

We will see how it goes ... and no you are not out of line.

I will be visiting Fuller's this year ...I tried to go around december 2013/january 2014 but my girlfriend's father passed away

right around that time and I had to fly back from LA in time for his wake so I did not visit Texas.

One less..... because my Ovation 12-string would have cost more to fix than it was worth, I gave it to my luthier..... I know he'll fix it in his spare time, and play it....

 

so I'll see it again,..... but in someone else's hands.

 

But I think I still have 12.

I have a Sigma DR7 acoustic, and a Yamaki 120 acoustic (both 1970s vintage made in Japan) and a Sigma 12 string, plus a J-45 custom from 2013. Also a USA standard Telecaster made 1996, and an ES-347 from 1981. So I guess that makes six. Apart from a couple of ukes, that's my lot.

 

Not as many as lots of you guys, but then guitar is not my main instrument, but I do love to own, record, and play all of them.
