…SNIP…
The one guy I still play mostly with the most has well over 100+ guitars. Some as inexpensive as a Danelectro plywood to his Gretsch. They all have their place in the world.

A friend of mine who is an avid guitarist got on me for having 5 bicycles. I tried to explain that they were all different, good for different purposes, each was unique when I rode them… He kept saying ‘yea, but they are just bikes’. I asked him “And how many guitars do you have now?”. He got exactly what I meant.

I’m no musician, but I do woodwork, I love rosewood, and think that rosewood coupled with curly (or quilted) maple is one of the most beautiful combinations there is.
