Finding It Hard Trying To Convince Myself...

that I didn't waste money buying 7 guitars. I rotate playing them every two to three days while I'm playing Assassin's Creed "Black Flag"on Xbox One (don't have any games for the PS4 yet), catching up on shows on the DVR, working at 4a.m., playing chess, Table Tennis and dealing with the family.

No shame in selling a few off. There's no right number, it's a very personal thing.

Then you should sell that sh!t...... or better yet, sell the TV and xbox and play your seven guitars.

I was raised by television and video games and I still enjoy them but I try to limit the time I spend on them. I give myself one Xbox game per year and limit the TV to Netflix only, no cable television. The Netflix limitation keeps me from watching TV too much, since I mostly scroll endlessly looking for something to interesting watch and give up.

I have very similar TV/gaming habits, I can waste so many hours if I give that stuff a foothold in my day.

No shame in selling a guitar here and there.

blah blah blah 7 guitars. I rotate playing them every two to three days blah blah blah

Get rid of all that other sh!t and play the guitars more...

Ok, keep the family, but the other stuff has to go!

Seriously though. It is hard to find a balance sometimes. Life has a way of getting in the way of itself. Love your family, play guitar and try to fit in a few other things,,,,

I DVR quite a few shows since I am in bed before 5 PM on most work nights.
I find that it can be fun both watching a show, and have the amp(s) on low and a guitar in my recliner with me and play while I am watching TV.
Kill two birds with one stone.

I forgot, I don't have 7, I have 8.

 

[alantig]

That's good, because the number you need is one greater than what you have. :laugh:

Ya got jokes.

[watelessness]

do they cover different layers of the tonal spectrum? do they allow you to play different styles?

 

[László]

For my work (music for TV commercials, documentaries, etc), I find that I don't need more than three electrics and one acoustic.

More is fun, but not necessary.

And I work in every style. So I wouldn't worry about selling a few off. Do what feels right! Spend the $ on a few great amps (the PRS amps are killer).

All have different pickups except the two that have 53/10's(need a guitar with NF's & 513's). My problem is that I have a thing for daydreaming which costs me money. If I do sell something, the funds will to my stereo system that I've neglected for the last five years(just discovered a new product that goes for $6k).

sounds to me like you have a bad case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). you will find many enablers here. :laugh:

7 is reasonable

8 is a waste

Give Sergio one for his design thread.

 

[MikeD]

How do play a guitar and play an Xbox at the same time?

Dude - quiet! My wife is right there!!!

As for the OP - if you think you have too many, you probably have too many. From my point of view, if you're covering different tonal bases, it's cool. But that suits my purposes - YMMV. And, as long as you can swing it, there's nothing wrong with having a guitar (or three) that are just fun to play.

But this is the wrong place if you're looking for someone to say you have too many guitars...

Throw the TV out the window. Music is better for your brain. Buy another guitar.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

The TV is the largest CRT ever sold(Sony 40 inch)and weighs 450lbs.
