re: #408 makeitstop

The difference between your friend and me is I play these guitars. Except for a couple of investment pieces and a couple that aren’t that great but have sentimental value, I use them all pretty regularly. Telecasters for country, Strats for cleaner and quieter stuff, Gibsons for rock.

They each got their own quirks, their own tonal differences. I collect because I appreciate those differences. My 35 guitars is small potatoes compared to some of my friends whose collections get near or over 100 guitars.

When I got guitar number 6, Mrs Cranky asked “Why do you have so many? You can only play one at a time.” I pointed out the differences in sound, and how you play guitars differently depending on the sound and characteristics of the guitar. She still didn’t understand.

Shortly after that, we attended a concert. Every time the guitarist changed guitars I nudged Mrs Cranky. She wasn’t amused. ;)

But guitars can be an addiction. Just look at what’s happened to WL. ;)
