Just sorted through my guitars.

**garybaldy** · 03-12-2021, 09:10 AM

Ive had to pack my guitars away to carry out some building work and realised I have accumulated 32 guitars.
Not to mention one upright bass, two elect. basses. one trombone and a 5 string banjo.
This this considered ok??

**Oldjock** · 03-12-2021, 09:27 AM

Only if the new building work includes a music room,

**Llacrobat** · 03-12-2021, 09:49 AM

Great start of a guitar collection!

It was from my school days in the 60s, so never played now. It has sentimental value as one of my tutors had his own mainstream band which, at the age of 14yrs, I joined as bass player. I was a complete jazz novice having only played rock guitar in school bands. So learned the 'trade' from a pretty young age.

Thirty-two guitars? Makes me feel just a tad bid less guilty (Puritan ancestors - unavoidable) about my twenty-four or so. My sincerest thanks!

Mostly budget stuff.
6 archtops
2 semi hollows
2 gypsy guitars
1 steel string acoustic
1 cheap classical
The rest are solid which include a couple of Gibsons and a few Fenders, Tokai etc etc
And you?!!

Guys with that many guitars often cannot afford a couch.

I don't know what's more disturbing, the trombone or the banjo. At least you don't have an accordion.
Carry on.

Can't decide between an accordion or bagpipes.

I guess it's ok, makes sense to move the guitars away from construction! Safety first

Careful. The definition of a gentleman is a man who can play the accordion but doesn't. You can, of course, substitute any musical instrument in that line.

I'm close to the OP in number but I got rid of my Banjo last year and fortunately I never developed a taste/obsession with horns. I do own a violin.

Nothing wrong with budget stuff.
And me what?

I love guitars as much as anyone, but why so many? Even if you do it for a living you wouldn't need more than 10 for different applications.

I just find it funny how we've become a hoarding society.And that's the attraction instead of the music and art it creates?
Everything is more about visual and acquisitions instead of audio and supporting actual music any longer.

Sorry to OP for my rants, but as many of us older folks remember growing up when Music was actually the focal point, not the business side of it..

**Drifter** · 03-13-2021, 04:37 AM

jads, your post sounds bitter. Nothing wrong with hording a few guitars, it's still all about the music, just in lots of different facets. Living in times of plenty is not for everyone I guess.

To cheer up this thread again, this one is for the OP:

I live in Denmark, and in our neighbor country Sweden, accordions are used quite often in traditional folk music. Back in the 1970s the Swedish radio manufacturer Luxor advertized a new radio model as being equipped with an "accordion filter". Of course they were jesting, and scrunity revealed that the filter was the on-off button. But whatever, that particular model actually sold well.
