Thread Name: Guitars..what do you play?
Subject: RE: Guitars..what do you play?
Hey, Peter, no offense. I just couldn't resist...

I'm happy with my one-and-only 1969 D-18, but I'd have to admit that the single grreatest reason why I'm not running out to buy another instrument is that anything I could afford would be markedly inferior.

If I won the lottery or something, and could suddenly afford multiple guitars each worth more than the average used car, I'd be glad to own one or two or three guitars different from my own and of equal or higher quality. A vintage National steel, for sure, maybe a nice Gibson or Guild jumbo, an antique little parlor guitar...

It wouldn't hurt to get started in the electric-guitar market, either. Then I could spend money on whole additional categories of equipment, into which I could plug my new SG, Strat, Les Paul, etc.

If I were making a living as a musician, or even making some regular extra money on the side while keeping the dreaded day-job, I would have to consider multiple-instrument ownership. But, as it is right now, playing for my own amusement and only occasionally in public, one guitar is plenty, and I'm very, very glad it's such a good one.
