I had a nice vintage and custom guitar and amp collection. Then I had to liquidate all but one of them due to something I had no control over. I built up a new collection, and alas, had to do it again for circumstances beyond my control.
I built up a 3rd collection and after awhile, realized that I wasn't playing a lot of these guitars, and it was not worth continuing to buy. What it did for me, however, was allow me to get into guitars I might otherwise not have considered.
By this time, I also had had it playing American guitars after 52 years and decided to go European. I found 2 companies that really got my blood flowing and have 3 guitars from one of them and one from another company.

Recently, I tried going back to American guitars but they were not working out for me. That is when I decided to try a PRS. Now I am saving for a ps guitar as I don't need multiples of any guitar any longer, but for my main playing guitars.
It is hard to let go of the guitars one has spent years collecting to play or just to have. It had caused me a lot of pain the first time, a bit less the second time, and now I realize that if I have what I can use, I can always replace it with another, so I stopped the hoarding.
The problem is getting over the hurdle of letting loved pieces go. I truly empathize with those having to even think about doing this.
. I was thinking of selling my SC58 and get a P245SH, but maybe I should keep both???
