Great discussion.🔥 I have 16 guitars and I just love collecting great guitars for the different tone and "feel" each provide. My home or "go to guitar" would be my Suhr Modern Pro because it's the most versatile and can handle all the songs and specific. But For me, I buy guitars according to the music or taste at the moment and based according whose artist is the playing the song I'm playing to fully capture the "Vibes" and the nostalgia. I have a rack/guitar stand for easy access depending on the song or mood. For example, if I want to play Gun's and Roses "Sweet Child o' Mine" or Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" - I'll grab my 1959 Sunburst Gibson Les Paul. If I want to play some Hendrix, Yngwie licks or RCHP John Frusciante songs, - there's my trusted Custom Shop Fender Strat or the Fender YJM scalloped Strat.....If I want to play Metallica, Pantera and Megadeth - I have an ESP Kirk Hammet with Floyd Rose that can handle Thrash and since there's some solo that goes up to 24 frets, a superstrat is a must. There's also an acoustic guitar if needed to play "acoustic songs" like "More than Words" or "Tears in Heaven". And finally, If you want to learn Steve Vai, Satch songs or noodle some Paul Gilbert licks - There's my trusted Ibanez Prestige or JEM Vai to handle them. That's what I mean with capturing the "vibes". You are feeling how the artist play by playing their respective songs on their respective instrument. So it's actually helpful to have many guitars (only if your budget permits and it really makes you happy or GAS attacks🤭) But you can just buy a versatile guitar that's perfectly setup and that will handle the rest of what you want to play and learn. Cheers! 😉🤘

A guitar is an inanimate object. It doesn't care whether it's your favourite. It won't sulk if you don't play it as much as another one. It won't play any better or worse whether it feels loved or unloved. Its the players who need that emotional attachment. Or not. Whichever side of that fence we're on, it's harmless. How we get attached and motivate ourselves doesn't impact anyone else. We can all do our own individual thing with our own psychology - we don't have to hold the same outlook. Whatever works for each. Having said that, while I try not to have favourites and do try and play them all in strict rotation (just to see where each takes me), I still do think some are a little bit more solidly built and have a little more attention to detail and I ultimately appreciate a little bit more easily than others, but I don't say it out loud while they're in the room. I like something about all of them, just some have more things to like.

Yeah man, it's so personal and everyone's different. Luckily, haha. Also it's okay to have an emotional attachment to an object (guitar / bass) since it's being used to create music, which is full of emotions anyhow. At least that's how I see it. Cheers //Kris

Great discussion, thanks for doing interesting videos like this. I play in an amateur rock cover band having 3-5 gigs a year only. I love music and exploring new sounds and new gear is fun (I have almost 100 pedals ... :-). I own PRS SE Standard guitar, it plays like butter and it is very universal - ideal for my usage. I always thought that one electric guitar is enough. I recently bought Fender Telecaster and it is also amazing. I play both guitars now and both inspire me in a different way. I believe that the most important thing is that the instruments keeps me play more.

I have 4 guitars and all of them are different, in brand and body style. 2 of them have PAF style humbuckers, one is a Gretsch, and the last is a strat style Yamaha. With the two with PAF's, one is a semi-hollow body and the other a Les Paul. Sometimes I choose a guitar I play based on the style, sometimes the music. But because my Gibson Les Paul was the first real "Brand" guitar I bought, it'll always be my "Number One." When I bought it used, I couldn't believe anyone would sell Gibson Les Paul - but I was much younger then lol.

G'day Kris & Guillaume, I have 2 Fenders that are put away - if I miss my ex girlfriend, I'll grab the blonde Tele, or the Strat if I want to play some Buddy Holly. Most of the other guitars are out on stands. If I just want to play music, I'll make a decision out of the 2 Squires when I see them. I am a Fender/Squier guy at the moment, but many times I'll pick up the Epiphone Les Paul Jnr, because it only has 1 pickup. I grab it, plug it in, & it's ready to go - no switches or half a dozen knobs to twiddle. It reminds me of my single speed bikes. Since there are no gears, as soon as I pedal out of the driveway, the effort I put into pedalling there is the same effort for the rest of the ride. Thanks for another great video Andrew

When I discovered Joe Bonamassa I needed a Les Paul and bought a Gibson Classic 60 with a beautiful finish. During my Psychobilly phase I bought a Gretsch to get closer to the sounds I liked. Today after 20 years of playing I have 11 guitars, all very different for different styles and different tunings. All of them collected memories together with me and make me feel and play a certain way. But my grab and go guitar is (shockingly) my cheapest in my collection = Squier Classic Vibe Tele which I bought on ebay for 210,- incl. case :-D I just love to play that guitar which is not perfect or set up very well or well executed but I truely love my fight with that guitar to get it to the point where I like what I play. I use the volume and tone pot a lot! I have compared it to other Teles already but never felt the need to replace it. Maybe in the nearer future a real Fender will be mine, but I honestly don't feel the need for it... HAHAHA Kris is for me the Tele guy and Guillaume is the guy with the pink strat. That's why I always come and watch your videos!!!

I actually do have lots of guitars, like more than 20 at this point, both acoustic and electric ones. But since 2009 my main guitar is a Framus Diablo Pro. The German made model with the ovangkol neck and still with the old smaller pickguard. And it's a beast, which I absolutely love. But there are two more guitars I regularly play: One is my first electric guitar I bought in 2006, a Spade Strat copy, which I upgraded from cheap ceramic noname pickups to Fender Texas Specials at one point and now the sound just started to live and it actually plays great. And back in 2018 I addad a Gibson SG Tribute, which came with two P90s. I also heavily modded it with a trapeze tailpiece, creme pickup covers, then changed the bridge pickup to a DiMarzio DP 209. It looks like a totally different guitar now but I love it and it just feels right - especially with its pretty fat neck. It's always hard to decide which of them to play but I often switch as they sound pretty different, too.

I could also probably survive with just a Tele. 😉 But I play each of my guitars pretty equally depending on what the song calls for, or what my mood is. I also resonate with the part about finally getting your holy grail guitar and realizing, eh, it’s ok 😂 I don’t think there is a holy grail guitar out there for me.

I own 4 guitars, 3 acoustic ( Spanish concert, ‘77 Ibanez 12string, Custom electric acoustic) 1 electric Custom S-style w/2 custom Humbucker. The Spanish Concert I bought when I was restarting my guitar journey in 2009. The 12 string was the first guitar I bought myself when I was 14 (in 1977)- lots of emotional value. I love both of my Custom guitars because I saw them grow. They’re both one of a kind, made just for me (2011-12, 2022-23) I love playing both of them ( fairly new to electric guitar so I’m still testing the waters- lots to learn). IMHO the relationship you develop with a commissioned instrument can’t be met by any other you just go and buy it regardless of price. 😊

So, I ended up with 10 guitars, mainly because I wanted to try out different styles/pickups/scale lengths/body and neck woods etc. I wanted to find out what I liked. I love them all but regularly circulate through 6 of them - I just love the variety of sounds and how that relates to how I feel on a particular day. My bond is a mixture of "love that sound" and "love how it turned out after modding (time effort, thinking and doing)". I also rotate through 4 different amps for similar reasons. My absolute favorite is an Artist (Australian) offset with p90's stoptail and tuneamatic (similar to Kris's blue one fro Thomann's) with updated pickups and the cheapest new guitar I have ever bought. Go figure?

for me, primarely, guitars are tools, they follow a function and need to deliver that (there are different requirements like tuning, scale, pickups SSS or HH, etc) , but that doesnt mean i have to limit myself to the pure basic, i love unique and extraordinary guitars, i love highest quality craftmanship and dedication to great work, not only guitars, but basically everything in life so i´m gravitating to those special instruments rather then more affordable basic instruments who would do the "job" as well. And well, i love guitars, how they look, how they feel, how they interact with me, each instrument is different and each one leads me to a different playing, so again we are back at a functional topic :-) i dont have a number one guitar in my arsenal, its rather a fine selection of many number ones ;)

When I was young and hopeful of making it with my own music, I had 1 guitar I loved and 1 backup. When my playing situation changed to stand-in/studio/covers, I started really collecting so I could give people the sound and look they wanted. Now I'm old and have money, so my collection has become fairly drool-worthy. You mention Page using one LP... I think of him with a few Teles and a Dano and most of his recording was on a Strat... Stairway was done on a Fender Electric XII and then live went to the SG doubleneck. Even those players that get associated with a single guitar usually have collections they draw from. I mean, how many Lucilles did BB have over the decades?

I feel like that about my classical, a superb spruce top classical made by the luthier Stephen Hill, in Andalusia. With electrics, thanks to Kris, I think I might have found my one, the Baum Wingman. My Gibson Les Paul Special & Fender Vintera duke it out for second favourite now, after the Wingman. But I wouldn't sell either of those, they feel special to me too, not just tools like some of the others. And I do swop guitars for different roles, the Wingman can't replace the Les Paul Special in particular. I'm pretty interested in the Baum Celestor now too tbh, planning on selling my Strat, a CV 60s, and maybe my CV Mustang to put toward it. Glad you mentioned Rory Gallagher, was one of the players that drew me into playing electric guitar. Was cool to see another here, Johnny Marr playing Rory's Strat after NME induction.

For me, the main purpose for having multiple different guitars. Is not to have 5 of the same model. In an attempt to find "the one". But to have all of them be very distinct from each other, in more than just color. If this were the 50's or 60's I could understand only having maybe 4-5 different models. But in the day and age of being able to aquire relatively inexpensive versions of ALL our favorite styles of guitar. There's really no excuse not to at least try some guitars that were designed more recently. Having a collection of nothing but Fenders and Gibsons, is just NOT a cost effective way to explore the guitar world. You can experience so much more, for so much less. With a bit of common sense. If your trying to buy an image, good luck. If you just wanna rock out without going broke. Try some different brands.

A tool is made by a factory. A music instrument must be made by a luthier... It happens that instruments manufactured by factories have a level of production close to that of a luthier, mainly in custom shops. Otherwise they are just tools, even if the quality is very good. However, it is not the hammer that drives the nail alone. A tool can be used to create works of art in the right hands. Fender guitars are the perfect example of industrially manufactured instruments, and it is clear that they were more than tools. I think it depends on each person, their level, their requirements, and their potential. A beginner without external influence will be satisfied with any instrument. The budget being the limiting factor. An enlightened amateur or a “professional” will focus on precise details, and often his emotion.

Mein Gott, das ist reine quantenmechanik denn gitarren können gleichzeitig als tools UND zusätzliche körperteile angesehen werden 😅

Guitars are tools. And one can have a favourite tool.

The notion that a guitar must have soul or something intangible beyond a good setup, feel and sound is just a way to spend more money. You'll just never think your instrument is good enough until someone else validates you, usually in the form of a vintage instrument. That's basically the appeal of "vintage": you're taking someone else's word that it's good. It's like marrying someone who's been married before and being like well at least I know someone could put up with them. It's old, so someone must have loved it, therefore it has soul. It's nonsense. Just play shows with your guitar and it'll take on that special meaning by being the only thing between you and the audience in the heat of battle.

All guitar gear are JUST TOOLS. And there is no problem at all with having a favorite screwdriver or guitar. Just don't delude yourself that there is a magic unicorn guitar or pedal or amp that will magically make you a legendary guitar player writing legendary songs. NOT. GONNA. HAPPEN.

Instruments are just tools. Don't deceive yourself. A thermometer, a scalpel, a brush are tools. That's what a guitar is, an instrument for making music. That's it.

Yeah... No. Everyone reflects differently on things. Good for you to be a judge for everyone.

Your profile pic is your favorite guitar, though. "Don't deceive yourself," Lex. You were trying to find a picture that represented your very identity, and you went with that artfully crafted photo of that particular guitar.
