Thinking of making the collection smaller.

Hi I have a few guitars and not a lot of time and space to rotate them as I have to young kids, recently bin deciding on selling one if you guys had any input as to one that stands out or you would keep them all lol.

Gretsch Falcón white.
Les Paul supreme.
Les Paul custom shop tree of life.
Prs custom 24 vintage bass/ hfs zebra limited pick ups.
Martin om28.
Lakewood m-32 cp electro-acoustic.

Keep the PRS.

 

[Archie090612]

I think I'm pretty sure I'll keep the Prs as it's a proper tool.

The Les Paul Supreme or the Lakewood., would be one of the ones I would part with if I had to. I don't know enough about the features on the Lakewood to really comment (wood, body size, ) to make this my first pick. So if I had to choose one to split with, it would be the Supreme. The richlite fretboard stopped me in my tracks from buying one. No matter how much Gibson hypes richlite, it will be many generations before they are excepted if ever. A beautiful guitar I am sure. You should get a higher resale on it than the others. The Martin and the PRS should go to your kids long after they no longer need diapers and you do!

I LOVE les pauls but this is easy. Get rid of the supreme and keep the tree of life!

j/k... personally id lose the electro acoustic and keep the rest. You my friend have a hard choice to make!

I'd get rid of one of the Les Pauls- probably the supreme.
The Martin and PRS I would definitely keep.

You know this , if I played them all I wouldn't even consider it but there's always other stuff that can be done with the money and most of the time there in the attic apart from the Martin that's always out lol

I'm thinking the same the Martin and the Prs are more like tools where the lp and gretsch are more like art might sound a bit stupid lol

Your not the only person to say that the supreme isn't their cup of tea thanks for your honest opinion I'll really have to evaluate every one I play I say no not that one lol

 

[CatStrangler]

The Falcon is pretty unique and I doubt that tone is replicated by another in your collection. keep that one if you are into that sound. Lose a les paul and the maybe the lakewoodc

 

[bodia]

I'd toss another vote the way of the Supreme.

 

[ReptilianNosewood]

The Supreme seems like a no brainer just due to the fact that its resale is pretty good. Looking on Ebay they are consistently selling for 2-3 grand.

 

[Boogie]

If it's $$$ you're after, I'd purge the LP. That's the stuff that moves right now.

I think Les Paul and the Falcon are excellent tools. They just might not fit what you want to play.

[NCPRSGUY]

Dang that Supreme is a looker. IMO moreso than the TOF

 

[veinbuster]

As much as I've always like gold on a black Les Paul, I would hold that tree of life pretty tight.

She's a real beauty , do you think it's the sort of guitar that will grow in demand?

I have no clue.
I've noticed that some of the smaller PRS special runs don't change hands very often so they create a lot of chatter when one becomes available.
This one just seems like it might appeal to both wall hangers and players.

Maybe mine was just a lemon, but I had a Martin OM-28V for several years, and ended up selling it to help fund my first PRS. It was nice, but not really head and shoulders above a couple of nice older Japanese acoustics I have, and the Martin always got a bit buzzy when played hard, no matter who set it up. If you've got other decent acoustic guitars, Martins seem to sell well.
