gibingus

i just have a taylor dreadnought and a telecaster now. through the years there have been many that have come and gone, the ones i miss the most were an alpine white les paul and a highly customized heavy metal edition strat. now that i am not gigging any more, the need to have a lot of different sounding axes isn't so important.

it's easy to rationalize multiple acquizitions, since guitars are all so unique in sound, playability and feel. you need a twelve string, you have to have that double cutaway to reach the high frets, slide guitar just isn't the same unless you are playing on a dobro, the hollow body for that super clean sound, and nothing sounds like a rickenbacker.... if you aren't a heavy player/performer and are collecting for the sake of having them, one tell tale point of insanity is when you cross into the vintage realm. you've gone another point when you try to fill out the straight and want to own the mustang, jaguar, strat, tele, and jazzmaster or the royal flush of les paul, es335, flying v, explorer and emporer. if you are looking at cheap guitars, that's one thing, if you find yourself lusting after high-priced signature models, this is a clear sign of a dangerous condition.

but i personally think you've passed the point of reason when you are seriously considering buying a double-necked SG.
