I own the following ensemble of 6-stringed ladys: - VIG Dragster (LP copy) in primer grey - Yamaha AEX 500 flattop half-acoustic in black - Epi LP Ultra III in transparent black - Epi SG G-400 in cream - Voyage Guitars foldable(!) electric in TV Yellow - Höfner Shorty (travel guitar) in metallic red - a cheapo acoustic - a black Gherson SG copy from 1982 which is just an inch from falling apart completely (was my first guitar) plus Vox DA5 5Watt modelling amp, that little Pignose Amp and Zoom GFX-8 multi-effect. And a little Bugera tube amp is just "what the doctor ordered"... (or was it me?) AND I CAN'T EVEN PLAY properly! PS: I am currently looking for a Telecaster style axe under US$ 400. Any recommendations? Or offers? :-D Folks, it is serious!

I have 4 amp.s and so many effects pedals. This is the last guitar I buy for 10 years, honest Ma!

Checking out the Joe Bonamassa photo in your original post made me laugh, I think that's the point when you say to yourself 'okay thats enough guitars for now'. I think it's okay to build up a guitar collection as long as: 1. you actually use the guitars (it may be nice to look at but if you don't use it it's a waste) 2. you get some variety (just think of what Slash's collection would be like - all I picture is a room filled with identical guitars). I've got 7 now and am at the point where it's hard to justify another guitar. All seven guitars are very different (eg: 7 string electric, double neck, classical, strat, etc) so at least they all do a different job. I guess G.A.S is one of the unique things guitarists deal with. I've never seen a pianist own a room full of them... I’ll have to check the book out for a laugh.
