I needed some money so I am now down to 3 bass guitars and 3 electrics and my violin but I always have something on the bench.
of course my son has a lot I have handed down.
 
98 Gibson SG Limited Edition
78 Gibson SG-1 (at least I think that's the model)
83 Ibanez Roadstar II Series rs1000cs
05 Fender Tele Deluxe 72' Reissue
82 Fender P-Bass (Japan)
77 Alvarez Acoustic
Epiphone Acoustic

In hindsight I wish I still had my 'The Paul'.
 
I have 3 but one is an old archtop in need of repair and hasnt been used for the last 10 years or so.

The two I use are;

1927 Gibson L4 Archtop that I had refinished about 20 years ago which currently has a ebony bridge.

Fender Strat project, which is a 2008 chinese made Squire body and the rest is after market parts [or home-made]. It has Les Paul style circuit based around 2 1968 Gibson P-90s.

The new neck in the picture has a ebony fretboard I am going to have attached early 2011, once I make a final decision on the strings I am going to use.

I have reverse wired the pots and I am not really happy about this so may resolder them before I send it off to the Luthier.

The only other guitar I am ever likely to purchase would be a Gibson L7.:)

Nice stuff man, nice stuff!
 
5 acoustics, 3 classical and 2 electric...of course half of them are entry level...the ones I play most...G&L s-500 and Finish made Espana acoustic and(although I have a much better classical) a noname hand-built classical. The no name was $85 and I cleaned it up and refinished it. It is surely not a great sounding guitar, but it is such a joy to play.

Of course all my babies get taken out and played from time to time...why have 'em if ya don't play them.
 
An awesome collection of guitars posted in this thread, its a shame some people have posted lists instead of pics.

Are guitarists worse or bassists? I have way more than I need, most recent purchase the Buzz. But I'd love a Dolphin Pro 1. Ocean blue over quilt maple, you can see it, I can tell.
 
Update: I traded my SG Special Faded + Bigsby for an '00 Martin B-1 ABG.

So now it's a '60s Ventura V-7 with custom top and bridge, '86 Bull Frog Mountain custom flamed maple jumbo, 11/84 Dobro D-60 round neck, late '30 Regal spider bridge reso, '90s Samick HF-650, '00 Gibson ES-335, '06 Fender '51 P reissue, '07 Classic '50s P, '08 fretless natural ash/maple P, '09 AV '57 P, and the Martin. Pictures at 11.

Don't get me started on amps.

I for one would like to hear about those amps!

Saw a 4 x 10 bassman (I think?) in cherry condition for $3500 :eek: Actually made me think of you (that is you with all the Fenders "by the pool" isn't it? Or am I thinking of someone else?)
