Einsteins theory of relativity is well known with it's E = MC2 equation.
A equally fundamental equation is: Needed guitars = N + 1 where N=the number of guitars you own at present.

I could honestly play just my 2001 Heritage Super Eagle. I'd just have to have a force field for when bar gig patrons get too close. The guitar is almost mint.
Main thing, though, is that it sounds superb and plays like proverbial "buttah."

One is enough. My 15 other guitars are just there to keep the first company when I`m working....

Why? Because you can't have enough of a good thing!

I don't personally understand the psychology of collecting guitars but hey, a lot of people find it fun! nothing wrong with that. Life isn't always about getting by with the bare minimum of what you need.
I've only ever owned a single archtop at a time, a sadowsky jim hall. I also have a telecaster that I love, and a nylon string. I can't imagine ever actually playing more than these. A lot of pretty famous players use one archtop for long periods: Peter Bernstein and his Zeidler, Jesse Van Ruller, Jim Hall, Miles Okazaki etc. Even Metheny used his old 175 for a lot of his career.

I was the kid who would pick up food I dropped on the floor of the mall food court and eat it because I felt bad for it. Think I can easily part with a guitar?

I have 3 total. 2 are identical spec. One is open and airy and the other is more thunkish and woody. I like both. They bring out different things in me.
