Pretty self-explanatory.
I'm in the 1-2 category; I own a Danelectro and a Taylor acoustic (most kickass guitar ever).

2 classical, 1 acoustic and an electric.  I want another one, but I hardly play any more so it is a bit of a waste.

I have so many guitars that I light my cigarettes with flaming guitars.

I also cry myself to sleep on a pile of guitars every night. It's pretty uncomfortable.

I own two basses, a reliable Squier P-Bass and a nice sounding but completely unreliable and I want to sell it Warwick Convertte.  Also I'm renting a cello, which is far cooler than any of this guitar nonsense.

In my experience the more guitars a non-professional musician owns the worse they are at playing them.

This is also true of people who get all gay for certain types of guitars.  The more one talks about how super rad a certain model of guitar is, the less talented they are.

Also they probably have small dicks.

(This post is not aimed at any of you, I'm talking about people I've known in real life.)

(I own two guitars, a Danelectro for standard tuning playing and a cheap Esteban for GGDDGG tuning, which my band has about five songs in.)

Yes, and lap steels.

X/A/B=C
A=amount of songs one tries to play (in front of an audience) that he/she obviously cannot
B=amount of times Slash or Guns N Roses is mentioned per day
X=amount of time spent practicing per day, in minutes
C=skill in units Y, used for comparing against others
It works perfectly for where I live.

I have:

One bass
Two electrics (one solidbody and one semi-hollow)
3 acoustics (one classical and two steel strings, one of which is on indefinite loan)

If I had infinite money I'd probably have dozens of the damn things. Right now I'm just working on getting the essentials. Next comes a 12 string.

Unless my mind is playing tricks on me, which is more than likely, in which case the SG is fine.

I have a reallllllllly old creme white dano and a mexican strat. And a super-bottom-of-the-barrel harmony acoustic guitar.

So 3.

The strat is missing the B string, but otherwise it is in standard tuning. The Dano is missing both the B and e strings, so it is currently tuned to ABBA. the acoustic is standard.

I have an ungodly amount of guitars mainly due to the fact back in high school I bought tons of shitty guitars (under 100 buck affairs) from the used section of guitar center as opposed to a single good one. Then I bought good ones later on so I have wayyy too many.

THE END (UNLESS YOU CARE ABOUT WHICH GUITARS)

Let's see...
1. Epi Les Paul Junior
2. Peavey Strat Knockoff
3. Old used Jackson Metal guitar of some type
4. Peavey Strat Knockoff #2 (later I discovered it was a rare American made model and worth a lot more the 60 bucks I paid)
5. A old beat up Gretsch Synchromatic
6. A Chinese "Gifson" Flying V (it amuses me)
7. A Switch Stein IV (the first decent one I bought)
8. which came with a free cheaper switch guitar too
9. An Epi LP
10. A Switch that my drummer gave me cause he heard I liked plastic guitars
11. An old Fender HH Telecaster I got out of the trash at school, no pickups or bridge or anything, restored it but made the mistake of loading it with Dimebuckers (part of my regrettable nu-metal phase)

and then I actually bought some good stuff

11. Gibson Explorer circa 1980
12. PRS Semi-Hollowbody
13. Fender Highway 1 Telecaster (the best thing ever)

Too bad I just didn't buy a telecaster to begin with.

I use a ton of different tunings though so it's nice to be able to just switch guitars around.

I've got an Epiphone SG that plays like garbage and a Martin acoustic that I adore.

Ironically I'm more of an electric player so I deal with the SG at home and at practice I play my mate's DeArmond (Guild) Starfire and Thinline Tele.

Looking to buy an American Tele Deluxe when I get my hands on some cash.

I love playing detuned guitars and figuring out how to make them sound good.  Especially acoustic ones.

Also, I honestly believe Telecasters are the single most overrated thing in the entire world of guitars.

I have 8. The majority of them aren't even played anymore.

1. A crappy 3/4 size classical that I bought off of a friend for the coins I had in my pocket at the time.
2. A Jazz Bass knockoff.
3. A Stagg LP knockoff.
4. A half built Strat which will probably take about 20 years to built due to what I want to do to it.
5. A Squier MB4 Bass.
6. An Acoustic that I bought from a charity shop because I was told that the next guitar wouldn't be ready for a few months after I bought it.
7. A Fender CD140SCE Electro Acoustic.
8. A Fender Cyclone. I love it.

The last 2 were bought with Student Loans, you have to love them!

Guys, you are all doing it wrong. Even you, OP. The only answer worth giving is "NOT FUCKING ENOUGH"

At last count, if you include my dad's guitars (I do, because I play them more than he does and I live over 9,000 miles away from him/them), the number was 9. Not counting my dad's guitars, I've got 6.

Edit for lists. My six:
1. Gibson Faded SG Special, cherry
2. Johnson Stratoclone (personally autographed by Bo Diddley, it is my pride and joy), metallic silver
3. Squier Bullet (hardtail), spraypainted and stickered
4. 1953 Kay acoustic, natural finish on a Sitka spruce flat top
5. Arbor copy of a Les Paul, cherry burst
6. Some shitty PRS clone that my stepmom's brother built (poorly) and gave (unloaded) to me as a present

My dad's three:
7. 1937 Kay acoustic (my favourite acoustic guitar of all time), battered to hell with a Sitka spruce top and natural finish
8. 1973 Fender acoustic, not quite sure what model
9. 1983 Epiphone acoustic, again not sure which model

Four. Looking to get both a new bass and a new electric.

Currently,

1. Behringer Strat knockoff
2. Fender Musicmaster bass (Absorbed from friend, buying soon)
3. Wayne Classical (Absorbed from parents, my resident downtuned acoustic. Keep it in D Standard to play acoustic Insomnium covers)
4. Valencia Spanish Acoustic (Got given it when I was 3 by my godfather, who happens to be awesome. It has a real good tone and great action)

Aiming for a tele in the guitar department, and a ricky in the bass department. Bass first, though.

1.) Rickenbacker 4003 in Jet Glo (only colour they had)
2.) 1994 Ibanez Talman Cream with Red Mirror pickguard (Before they turned Talman's into shitty acoustics)
3.) Squire Strat Navy.
4.) Johnson bass
5.) Epiphone Ebo-3 (SG bass)
6.) Shitty Dean guitar my friend never came back for
7.) Jazz bass knockoff but nonetheless my first bass, amazing for a knockoff


I pretty much waste every cent i get on guitars and basses.

It's a really shitty store, and most of their guitars are pretty overpriced, but if you don't care about your SG being an Epiphone, and you have a Music and Arts Center near your house, I saw one at my local store for like 250 a few months back.

I have a Squire strat that's in rubbish condition, a Marlin Loner (best name for a slightly metal looking guitar ever, they might as well have called it the 'I will never touch a woman') that I got for a few quid and won't stay in tune, a shitty Squire p-bass that I sort of like even if a friend did once describe it as sounding like twanging a rubber band attached to a bit of inferior wood and a Mexican Fender jazz bass that I'm extremely fond of.

Nah, with my limited knowledge of Jackie and his music I can pretty safely say that he's probably played a million Telecasters over the years.
