Having a daughter of 3 years, my playing time is pretty much limited to early mornings before 7. At other times I am either busy or too tired. However, it helped me focus on the stuff I want to get better at. Besides, she used to tell each of my many guitars good night on after another ("good night blue guitar") and today complemented me on my new squier. So, kids and guitars, it's a match made in heaven :D

I'm about to have a massive sell off of my collection - over 30 guitars in a one bedroom flat that looks more like a secondhand guitar store 😂- and I've motivated myself to do this by promising myself a PRS Silver Sky SE which I have been close to pressing the "buy" button for last two months. To be fair to myself, I have spent the last three years learning the basics of guitar luthier inspired by the lockdown, so most of the guitars were a mess when I got them and I used them to hone my skills in repair and electronics. However, the worst aspect is I have spent more time collecting these guitars than playing and need to cut down to a max of around 10-12 that I can put on the racks. I have to say though, it's really hard to choose which guitars to get rid of because i have invested time and a lot of love and care in bringing them back to playability, but it's ridiculous having them here not getting played when someone else could be enjoying them on a daily basis. Do I regret buying them? Not at all as they have been an experience and taught me so much. However, the need for living space now I am back in contact with human beings again means they must leave this Battersea Dogs home for unwanted guitars and find new owners 😎😎😎

What I love about guitars is designing a room around the beauty of almost any guitar, simply on a stand or on a wall or even resting on a couch. I’m also a mid range guitar player but I find guitars also double as art. I can easily find myself staring at some of my guitars. They all come with a mood to them, playing the specific guitar comes down to how I feel, but I rarely get sick of looking at them so there’s never too many guitars if you can afford it 😊 do you like the P90s John?

I'm a father of two and it was next to impossible having time to follow a hobby besides the family. That may be caused by working a dayjob including the comute, plus having a fair portion of the care at home because my wife was working, too. So after a very long day when the kids are finally sleeping I had to decide between a very short time with my wife or an activity. In both cases, I did not have much energy left. And what wasn't also left much of was money to spend on gear. But there will be better times. I got very quickly back into the saddle of living my passion for guitar after my wife and I broke up. So, I guess there is a bit of a silverlining when it comes to playing😁

Over the last few years, my guitar playing time for serious practice, 9:14 has been very limited. With family commitments (children) and working with commuting, time is limited.

I had to give up my space when the children needed their own bedrooms.

One of each different type of guitar (Strat, Les Paul, Steel String Acoustic, Nylon String, Baritone, 12-String, Bass, Archtop, etc.) is how I've approached my guitar "collection." I think it's best to try and take advantage of differences between guitars, and explore that as a stepping stone toward creativity and discovering something new. But, I wish that I could get away with having just one guitar that could do everything. Violinists often have one instrument that they use to play music spanning the centuries.

I went through a big guitar purge a couple of years ago but since then the collection has increased back up to where it used to be. The problem now is that my current set of guitars suits me quite well, certainly better than before the last purge. I've reconciled with the reality that I like guitars, I like a wide variety of guitars and that is unlikely to change. Like you I've come to the point where I don't have much room for any more and that's fine. Maybe I'll sell one or two in time. Maybe I'll buy one or two but nothing is really calling to me right now so I'm in a happy stasis point and that's OK. If there's a guitar you don't actually want to play sell it. If there is a guitar you wish you'd get around to playing more keep it. Don't be a hoarder but you don't need to punish yourself for having an indulgence either.

I seem to have focused on variation only within Strats and Teles. But I kind of feel a weight looming over me having as many as I do, and It's not really that many. I tried to build the 'perfect' Strat from Warmoth parts (so I could get rid of the rest) and it came out awesome, but by then the "target" had moved and my idea of perfect had changed. In the end I feel like I need several new guitars every year, I just need to also sell an equal amount of guitars. Guitars must flow. I lose inspiriation if I'm not planning the next partscaster. I get ideas for future builds from semi-lengthy imperfect relationships with other guitars. If I had to grab only 1 guitar during an emergency or something, the fire/flood/alien invasion or whatever would kill me before I could decide. I haven't found "the one".

I play downstairs and while the baby was asleep headphones and modellers but biggest mistake is not letting them get used to loud noises so play music when they're away or in the car, there was time I she would cry when she was tired and I'd play some dream theater or lead stuff and it would send her to sleep 🤣🤣

I want to build a partscaster because of your older video on the topic. Unfortunately(?) parts are expensive which is quite discouraging.

Down to 4. 2 Gibson Les Paul's, EVH Wolfgang and a Martin GPCPA4k. I've had as many as 9, I hated having to change strings on guitars when I get more than 5 or so.

I have gear I rarely play, and feel short of space. Whatever my limit is now, I seem to have exceeded it.

I’ve always decided on guitars based on what I was doing with them and mainly tunings. Only play in E-D standard? I would only have a main guitar and a backup. Even for my (extremely short!) time playing metal and then jazz gigs in college, I had 2 PRS and 2 LTD single cut guitars, and each with very different pickups. Before that were Ibanez Prestige. But I’ve never had much luck with sounding any better or different buying a new/different/hyped/vintage guitar. I’ve got a 2 1/2 year old, and the only guitar I get to play regularly now is acoustic.

What’s the scales or whatever he plays at the beginning of every vid? I know they’re all different but they also all sound exactly the same too. Know what I mean?

I find that once you have gear that is in cases nearly permanently or duplicated by other gear, it’s time to sell it. I definitely have gone through gas cycles in the past and have recently started to sell things off.

As a viewer of your channel and someone who admires your amazing skills I don't hear a difference in tone between your various guitars. I'm curious how much of your gear is sent to you by manufacturers?

Yes, yes I do. What step is that? Really need to look at moving the case queens (rg3570, esp eclipse, 1993 s540 etc).

Some may say that any more than one acoustic and one electric is technically too many, if you're not a professional musician. BUT, who cares what they say? I'm not a pro and I have several guitars cos they each give me something else. Yes, when you have several it can get expensive and they take up lots of space. But it's all part of the process that guitar players go through. You need to acquire and play and hear and feel the differences in the instruments yourself to gain that knowledge and satisfy your curiosity more than anything - it's part of the guitar journey. Because to the ear that is listening and the hands that are feeling, that other guitar does give something different to the one you are currently playing. It might be subtle or it might be monstrously different - but that tone and the feel is a real thing. Plus, acquiring gear keeps the economy going, it keeps the guitar makers and the guitar retailers in business. So I wouldn't sweat it, unless the wife is nagging. 🙂 Great playing, btw.

I only *need* two electric guitars (one as a backup for live gigs), but I've got seven. They're all different (pickups, body shape, scale lengths, etc) and have their own thing going on, but I don't *need* all of them. I've got four of them for sale right now but no takers, so I guess I'm stuck with them (or selling them off really cheap).

i cured my gas by accident. i was accumulating alot of pedals. at one point i bought an eventide pitchfactor because i needed a harmonizer for a song my band was doing. along the way, the band broke up. i found that when i plugged in the pitchfactor, i'd spend 3 hours making cool noises, but not actually making music. i decided to sell it. when i did, i realized i had a bunch of pedals i didn't use, so i sold those too. at that point, i thought about it, and decided i would only keep what i needed to "do what i do" going forward. too many guitars is a subjective thing, as long as they aren't redundant, and you actually play them. for example, having 2 les pauls with humbuckers, would be redundant. i have 4 guitars and a bass now. there is some overlap, but generally, each one does something the others don't. other than building one just for the fun of doing it, i have all the guitars i'll ever need. my board is pretty small, and 2 amps do whatever i need to do.

As as lefty, I pretty much have to have my own mini Guitar Center at home if I want to participate in the golden age of guitars....up to 20 now....often bought used...which protects my 'investments' if/when I decide to sell. Waiting on a lefty baritone that should be out this summer...will buy new. Got some amazing deals on some USA /Korean/Japanese guitars which I plan to tuck away as a hedge against Brandon's inflation.
