You guys need to buy the "most guitars wins" shirt off ebay!
Funny how on this forum, a persons wealth is often judged by how many guitars they own (even if they live in a $5,000.00 trailer house)
I have had many many guitars, and I have had very very few. Funny thing is....no matter which side of the fence you're on, you should always remember that musical instruments are rarely a great investment value compared to things like real estate, etc. You can easily break even, and get your money back, but to make a substantial profit?.....well, you need some good luck! 90% of the time you'll lose your ass!

54, which means not enough, but too many..............

Alot..you'd have to ask my girlfriend.. she's the one who does the frequent headcount. They're dispersed in four locations too-just for safe keeping.

Why do I have so many.. because I had 2-3 on rotation in school, then down to one on the road and for the many many years after.
I found myself going.. I wish I never sold the '64 or '73 SG's or the fretless wonder Les paul or the 70's strat I had in high school, or the old RnR SR Ibanez V. Guitars who were my tools and my friends on the road. I became very familar with their quirks and idiosyncrasies.. I had too. I kept one strat and it was parted & modded when on the road. The parts I kept for a long time. I intended to put it back stock.. then I sold some of those parts because I needed money when I wasn't working. That in itself was a kicker.. as parts from early 70's strats have skyrocketed.
What the neck and matching plate sells for now is what I paid for the entire guitar with a case, and I traded it for something much much less in the long run.

All those instruments have increased alot in value from whan I bought them-they're classics now.
95% of the guitars I have bought over the past 5 years, are now double what I paid. If they weren't good investments.. I guess alot of vintage guitar stores and music o rounds would be out of business.
No.. its not real estate or stock.. but you can lose money on those too.
Typically real estate is a much better return investment tho.
In the long run... they're just pieces of wood and wire.. if I have to rely on a 80 dollar import to make my living as a musician with.. I'd make it work out and not feel to bad if it was stolen.

Has nothing to do with wealth or investment here, I just enjoy guitars and I'm fortunate enough to be able to enjoy several.

Electric? I've decided the past couple of years (which means I probably mean it, for now...) that one strat, one shredder, and one Gibson are all I need. I have the right strat (had this guitar for almost 21 years), and the right shredder. It is the gibson that I can't seem to settle on these days.

[NextInLine]

I have 5 now, but I'm selling 2 of them and going down to 3.. I need 3 more guitars though, I'll be set when I have 6

[VoiceX3]

As of now, 13
10 Jacksons
1 Takamine acoustic
1 Charvel Bass
1 gutted BcRich project (first axe I bought with my own $$....sentimental)

....14 once the KV2T gets here in a few days.
