Man I thought this was the gear monkey site. I think I counted that I have 25 guitars and basses. Most are cheapies a few are mainly parts but most I play. Sometimes it takes a year to get back to one but they all have their place. Funny thing is my perfect gibson LP and "V" and fender strat are the least played. I'm a value player and its hard to enjoy anything thats overpriced. I find them uninspiring and wasteful. I play the crap out of my $100 and $150 guitars. So those of you who can't afford more of better. Don't worry about it. I played my $200 frankenstrat and my $90 jr high acoustic as my only guitars for over 20 years. Remember gear is mostly an excuse for not wanting to practice.

I like my cheap guitars too :) Although I collect gear and admit it slows the practicing down. I still like my $100 epi explorer and have it laying around all the time ready to play.
And this is the gear-monkey site :)

Wow, my last post in this thread, as to number of guitars, was in 2008! And it's now quite aways off of accurate.

I currently have 25 electrics: 20 guitars and 5 basses:

Additionally, I have one 6-string acoustic, one 6-string acoustic-electric, and one 12-string acoustic. So I guess my total is 28.

Other instruments include: 1 acoustic-electric mandolin, one banjo, and one ukelele.

Oh sexxy. How does that Fernandes Ravelle play? That's a hot looking axe.

Thanks. It's basically a Lss Paul, as you might expect, except with just a single master volume and tone. The one other difference is that it can coil split so you can get single-coil tones too.

It is a "Deluxe," which sadly they don't make any more. The Deluxe, unlike some of the other models, does not have the "Sustainer" pickup in the neck, which is fine because it's kinda gimmicky and at any rate I would never use it. This model comes with a Seymour Duncan "Jazz" in the neck and "JB" in the bridge, which supposedly are the actual Seymour Duncan guy's favorite combination for rock playing. Which wouldn't matter to me, except that I agree with him that it is a very good combination. Slightly hotter than traditional PAF pickups, but still alnico and not too hot.

Honestly, I would put it in my top 5. Only downside is it's a little heavy.

I was always under the impression that I could only play one guitar at a time, so I always had one electric and one acoustic at any given time. I have the old American made B.C. Rich Bich (Sweet) and an Avarez acoustic (Also sweet) ... But I must admit, after 20 years, I am now in the market for a new electric guitar and I am looking at the Variax or Parker Fly. But I will welcome any advice or recomendations for my new guitar. ;)

Nothing wrong with that, unless you're gigging. At an absolute minimum, you need a second electric as a backup. I never play without a backup, even in church. And if I have a really big stage I might even bring a second backup.

And being unable to play more than one guitar at a time doesn't erase the distinctions between ceramic pickups and alnico, humbuckers and singles, Strats and Teles, 6s and 12s, etc. It's fun to have a lot of different types to play.

Hi Brian, I haven't gigged in a long time. So long I forgot that I did used to bring a backup guitar. But as to the different variances in them as you fore mentioned, with todays technology you can probably get away with a Parker Fly and a Line6 3x pro. They do all the modeling for you now. What do you think?
