My Guitar Collection Is Out Of Control (Don't Show My Wife)

[@MisterBrain]

I've cut my collection down to four electrics, a bass and an acoustic. GAS is a dangerous thing.

[@joermnyc]

Yeah, especially if it’s something you didn’t know was a thing, and it’s not made anymore and I’m like, “oh man… wait, are any on Reverb?” Most of the time it’s just priced out of my range, and sometimes, it’s not too much and I don’t have the money, so it’s either “What can I sell, and not regret later…? Ugh.”

[@Tommyalpaca]

Same, cut mine down to 20 electrics 7 acoustics four basses and a lap steel😂😅

[@shanewalton8888]

That’s nearly the same as me one bass, one acoustic , 4 electrics and one more in loan to someone.

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

I don't know man. I can't think of a better thing to spend my hard earned money on than new gear (or repairs etc). Buy 20 sofas? I'm not saying buy blindly or without thinking... just what else would I buy? 🙂

[@Earthstein]

Hi Robert. Ten years ago I had around 165 guitars in my home; and 85+ amps. Just collected them over 30 years, or so. Thankfully my old age has cured my collecting. I'm down to around 30 guitars and maybe 15 amps. I keep and play only what I love.

[@davideatwell6577]

Wow

I'm glad you downsized. 165 guitars would completely overwhelm your family after your gone 😂

[@joejones9520]

Ive been playing since I was 15 and Im 57 and until about ten yrs ago I had owned only one electric and one acoustic..this is even with me having been in a working band...I just never thought I was a good enough player to deserve better guitars then about ten yrs ago I discovered that YT has an instructional vid for virtually any song Ive ever dreamed of playing and within a yr Id gotten so much better than Id ever been that I actually hauled off and bought a US strat...then I kept getting better and buying guitars, I got obsessed with learning everything about guitars and guitar companies. I never got up to the amount you describe but I got kind of carried away but I finally trimmed it down to the strat, a Flying V of course, an SG and my original Lotus electric from the early 80s plus some decent acoustics. It would be wild tho to have 165 at home, I literally might not even have space for that many! Imagine if you restrung them all at once youd need 165 packs of strings! 30's still a lot tho so dont feel bad.

[@christophervincent8420]

I FINALLY got the 40th anniversary Jazzmaster. My wife finally agreed to let me get it. On sale for $300. I couldn't pass it up. You were 100% correct, it is amazing and inspiring.

[@MaximilianMengwasser]

Same here! What a great instrument. Bought one in „Desert Sand“ Upgraded it with a Mastery M1 Bridge and a Mastery Vibrato. It‘s now a hell of a guitar! After that i sold a few (far) more expensive Guitars out of my collection. Couldn‘t justify the price / quality ratio of the more expensive ones. 🙂

[@jonathanmetze9796]

Same ! I got the blue and gold

[@christophervincent8420]

Yeah, I got that Sea Foam and gold. Amazing. I honestly can't say that enough. It is well above the Classic Vibe. I dare say even the Player series.

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

I bought the 40th Anniversary Strat, and if the Jazzmaster is half as good as the Strat, then it is an awesome guitar. It was the best $300 I have ever spent.

[@christophervincent8420]

@@TheCommonSenseProfessor it is very much as good if not better. It is legitimately that good.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I had taken a guitar in to sell to GC and thought nothing about it. I get a knock on my door a week later from a detective. He informed me that I was being investigated for trafficking stolen goods! WTF? Thank GOD I saved the original receipts from when I bought it. It turned out that the dude who entered the number into the system is dyslexic or whatever, he transposed some numbers and they matched up with a stolen guitar. Same make, same model just two digits were backwards. So, if you're into the selling/buying of instruments, keep your receipts. I stick everything in a shoebox and forget about it. Until it becomes necessary to clear you from a crime.

[@617shakes]

I'm happy to hear that the 80s course is in the works. I remember you talking about it years ago. Can't wait to see what it's all about ( I love 80s rock/metal)

[@normbarrows]

Don't feel bad, I just finished another build the other day, bringing my collection up to 93 guitars. Not to worry though, my ex-fiancée gave up on trying to change me 25 years ago - so no issues with the wife.

[@tonkageorge]

I don’t know why I’ve never done this before, but I started figuring the licks/riffs that you’re playing in this video. Some great stuff in here. Like a free lesson. Gracias

[@Low.Key.Music01]

As a lefty, I've cherished every guitar I have been able to find and own

Several years ago, a young man approached me in Guitar Center and said, “sir , I am getting married soon and am worried about my wife getting concerned about my guitar collection and my desire to buy more in the future. Do you have any suggestions for me?” I told him what a buddy shared with me “Buy all Fiesta Red guitars and have them all over the house…they are harder to count that way!” After telling me thanks, I asked him if he had any suggestions for me. He said his uncle told him, “buy as many empty guitar cases that you can afford and then sell off the cases each time your new guitar arrives”. Any that my friends in pure genius! I wish I had known this before I got married. (Sorry 5WW!):)

[@hawg427]

My Birth year is 59 so I could only afford a LP Re-issue. I even looked for a LP Custom from my HS graduation year 1977 but after a year of looking I found a 1980 Black Beauty, heavy is an understatement. I love the color of your PRS DGI model.

[@bkmeahan]

Never been big on having multiple of the "same" guitar. In the cases where i do, the pickup config is so different they fill a completely different niche. Like my Tele ASAT classic and thinline deluxe, or my LP with humbuckers and my goldtop P90. The closest are my two strat styles with single coils but even there, one has a David Gilmour pickup/wiring setup and the other has gold foils. An ES 335 Lucille and a Brian May red special and I will have all my dream guitars.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

I sympathize. I was just pricing one of those D’Addario bulk string boxes and I realized I needed 2 😳

[@donbishop6994]

The correct number of guitars to have is the number you already have, plus one. Always. There is no such thing as too many. My lady just found out yesterday. I had 2 delivered on the same day, she lost her damn mind. 😂🤣😂🤣 Woman... don't tell me what to do with my own money. Deal with it. 😎

You have a beautiful collection. Man, I'm looking to pick up my 2nd electric guitar sometime this week. A 1993 Korean Epiphone Les Paul with a cherry sunburst. A real Oasis special. I have a soft spot for good Epiphone Les Pauls with the old headstock.

Thanks Robert. Really love your 'insight' type videos. You're so generous with your time. Best wishes from Western Australia.

[@juanchaves2971]

Hi Robert, I recently started building my own guitars- and I love it!!!!! It is really really fun- The coolest part is I get wood from crazy places, for example I have a piece of oak wood from a dam that was built across our local river- and it was built around the time of the civil war... So its a really cool piece of oak- Im going to build an explorer with it. So a few months ago I built an explorer body guitar with a single hot rail, no volume, just direct from pickup to output jack. The wood was from an old door frame from the old wood shop where I worked for my father when I was a little kid until in my 20s.... So the wood is this really old pine from an old building with real significance to me from my childhood...However- that guitar is CRAZY heavy!!!! It weighs 14 pounds!!!!! So, should I route out the back and make it way way lighter? The thing is- it sustains FOREVER!!!! That guitar right now sounds incredible! If I shave off a bunch of the wood, will it mess up the most amazing tone I have in any of my guitars? What is your heaviest guitar? I am guessing 9 pounds. Again, this thing is an explorer shaped body, solid Pine, 14 pounds- But it sustains for days!!!! Thanks for this killer video....

I topped out at 52 and now sitting around 48, I think. I moved a couple to make my last purchase. My collection is all over the map. Everything from $300ish to almost $4k. I've probably bought and sold about 15 guitars and kept the best of the "affordable" ones because they just play really well. I've got about a dozen that are truly investment worthy. I do play them but know they will be a better ROI than if I stuck that same money in the bank. Besides, you can't play and enjoy money the way you can and do with guitars!

[@aquilarossa5191]

A builder or mechanic does not feel bad for having lots of tools. It's how you make your living, so they're tools pretty much. However, if they're not getting used letting them go is worth considering, so somebody else can give the things some TLC and play time. That said I do not sell so much guitar gear these days, whereas I used to sell everything that was not being used. I am getting old and I am not well, so I do not have the funds to burn on guitar stuff like I did. What I do have I am hoarding, so it goes to my nephew when my bucket day arrives -- hopefully a good few years off yet. Therefore I tend to buy stuff considering if he would like it too.

[@bestboy897]

[@chzzyg2698]

I just bought my first SG, the Epiphone Custom Ebony. I'm kinda slapping myself for having a giant guitar collection and no career whatsoever in music. At the same time, this thing is awesome! It makes me play faster not having a heel to run into in the upper frets. I'm an LP fanatic, but there's a chance that might change.

[@jankafka7330]

Rather than fix it, I traded a messed up old guitar for an American Vintage II Telecaster about a month ago. It is hands down the best guitar I've ever owned. It makes the Epiphone Dot, Schecter Omen and Charvel Model 3A I own seem like junk. I'll never be able to afford anything else close in quality and playability to the Tele, so I plan on treasuring it for what remains of my life.

[@MikuPinky]

[@austinknowlton1783]

So many things I could comment on. Your KM is hands down my favorite guitar that you have shown. I really dig the DGT PRS model, but if you haven't you should try out the Ed King model. Yes that's right, on top of being an amazing guitarist Ed King had a PRS signature guitar! One thing that makes it unique is that it has three pickups. Two humbuckers and a single coil in the middle, and the same switching system that Ibanez developed. Amazing guitar but not to my taste. I have a PRS S2 McCarty 594. What can I say I love em all but at the end of the day I'm a hardtail singlecut guy. Love your playing, I've learned a lot from your lessons. I highly recommend them.

The 1963 Strat - my birth year!! 😍🤘

[@SteelyGlow]

I've got six guitars and two basses, but I'm playing only one guitar and one bass on regular. E standard: Yamaha SL-500 (1985 Les Paul), S-Tune (2005 Jackson Dinky clone w/Floyd Rose), masterbuilt strat (2011, which I'm playing on regular basis) and masterbuilt 1994 superstrat w/FR-like tremolo, which is my first and only guitar till 2005. Eb standard: Greco strat (1975) and Ibanez RG350DX (2007) Basses are MiJ Fender Jazz Bass (1994 and 2002) for each tuning respectively. If I ever play in a band again, probably I will buy another guitar, because highly likely the band will play in different tuning, and I don't want to mess with tuning change on guitars I already own.

That's just the Gibsons. Somedays it makes me feel sick and other days I think what the hell. 1st world problems.

[@joermnyc]

I’m starting to figure out what DO I need and what don’t I need from my collection. I went nuts and did a spreadsheet. Found I have too many similar enough guitars that I can sell few of them. Also found I was missing a few things like I only had one semi-hollow/chambered guitar, a G&L Tribute ASAT Classic, and nothing with a piezo aside from my PRS acoustic. So I found a used Reverend Manta Ray 290 for not too much, and bought a new Schecter C-1 E/A (I tried the PRS Hollowbody w/piezo first, just didn’t feel it.) I also kind of went through “I have this, can I get something better, or similar for less?” Which led to me selling my Dano 12 string and getting the Squier Jazzmaster 12 for half the money I earned. I’m thinking of maybe swapping out my ‘57 Strat (AVRI) for a G&L Skyhawk, but I’m not sure since I’d probably have to sell a few other guitars to get it (the price jump from G&L Tributes to Made in Fullerton is nuts. G&L, can we get a Skyhawk Tribute?)

[@wrigman]

At one time my collection was much like yours. Last year I took note of what I play most. I tend to go to Telecaster type guitars(G&L ASAT’s) and not playing the Strat style guitars( G&L Legacy, S500’s and Comanche’s) so I sold them. I do play my PRS guitars( DGT and Paul’s guitar) kept those, I also have a Tanglewood DLX 15 ( made in England, not China). That guitar is VERY balanced and loud. I have installed a K&K western passive system. I now have all the bases covered with those guitars. My GAS IS GONE, hopeful it never comes back. Oh! I also have my perfect amp…. A SAMAMP VAC 12. 3,5,8,10,18 and 25 watts. Controlled by a switch and different watt light bulbs. Cheers!

Robert, I’d like to hear you talk about pick-up height. I’m not a “rock” shredder, and stay away from traditional humbucker guitars, though I’m lucky enough to be a custodian of a Murphy lab SG custom. Your hums seem to be set low across the collection, and your tone is frankly lovely, so, I think it’d be educational to hear your thinking on the subject. Thanks!

I went with 1 guitar for years and years because I couldnt afford any more, then i retired a few years back and picked up an Epiphone LP 60s Tribute plus.

Since you're already wired for Fishman pickups - maybe it would be worth a quick try to check out Fishman's Javier Reyes signature set which might be just what you're looking for. "Javier Reyes - live at The NAMM Show 2020 - Fishman Fluence" is the title of a demo he did explaining and demonstrating how he wanted his pickups to not only be voiced but how they respond to his playing, dynamically. He's using an 8 string guitar in the demo but its construction is very similar to your Acacia so it should compare favorably with your platform.

[@michaelholmes9153]

I keep and play what I think is the best of the best. You NEED three kinds of guitars really. One with fixed bridge and humbuckers( Les Paul, SG etc,), one with single coil pickups(Strats, of course), and an 80s style guitar with a mix of pickups, preferably high gain with a Floyd Rose and 24 frets( Jackson, Charvel, ESP, Ibanez) You NEED one amp with channel switching, I found the Marshall DSLs, EVH 5150s or Orange Rockerverbs are the best. Pedals you need overdrive, delay, reverb, wah and something phaser or flanger. Thats it for me
