Two or more for me, definitely !! The Avalon in cedar is very loud (it's a Loud 'en !) and does me well for "sessions" etc : the Guild is quieter and brighter, and good for accompanying my partner , who has a Ramirez for when she sings in Spanish ! There's also a 6-string "Delta Blue" banjo, with which I am getting to grips ,and it is surprisingly easy to flat-pick tunes on ! Not everyones' cup of tea though , I imagine !
