A bass is a bass, not a guitar. A resonator is shit.Originally Posted by smokingbeagle
(I'm just teasing!)
Ah, if we're not including basses that makes me feel a bit better. So all I actually need is six (Strat, Tele, hollowbody, steel-string, reso, twelve-string), although something with a Les Paul-style setup would be nice (ICEMAN!)
7 electrics, 3 basses and 2 acoustics
Got 11 guitars and 2 bass guitars.
Justification??? Alternate tunings.... Mrs understands that some songs are in different tunings but doesnt know the techncial bit for the guitars. No one tell her about the Variax/Fender/Gibson please.....
However 2 are in bits, one is at a mates house, 2 I dont like so never play, I hardly touch the accoustic. I do have one in standard, one half step drop, one full step drop, one in drop d and one for "other tunings" that are close to hand.
Still want more though.....
Reality is cos I can.
I think it's totally justifiable to have a handful around the house for tunings - I've now got the Tele in open G, hollowbody in E flat standard, will have the Strat in standard once I've put it back together, reso in open E or open D, and the normal acoustic changes from day to day (it's kinda my 'go-to' guitar now).
And of course, if you're gigging with them you need spares for onstage...
I got 8. And still no semi on.
Got a Rush DVD - Live In Rio and Alex Lifeson on that gig changes guitars almost every song...I still cant fathmon any good reason for that.

I've seen The Rolling Stones and Matchbox 20 do the same - I think it must be a tax reclaiming thing
I saw Biffy Clyro and Simon Neil was changing guitar after every song. His tech was tuning up one guitar while he played the other and as he properly twats it I wasn't surprised.
Reason A) Simply because he canI got 8. And still no semi on.

Reason B) Each guitar may have subtle differences that he feels he needs for each song.
