@DyDave Only four? That looks like a starter kit. 😁

@GaryPoole

πŸ˜‚ Fair!

Gotta make some choices, tho. Option paralysis is a real thing πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@DyDave that's more like it!

I'm currently down to just seven guitars (five electric, one acoustic, one bass). And even then, it's often a hard decision which one to practice with today.

@GaryPoole

I find that gigs present themselves: someone wants a part that sounds like x or y. If someone wants a very specific sound, you can say, "I can do that bit."

It's also fun to have yoofs come into the studio and let them play all the guitars they're not allowed to touch at the shop because of the meanie guitar shop guy.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@DyDave I find it also depends on studio vs live. I prefer my Gibsons (Les Paul and SG) on stage and my Fender Strat in studio.

@GaryPoole

Horses for course, I reckon.

If you need to be in the higher mid-range of whatever's happening: try a Tele or a Strat bridge into clean amp.

If you need to work in the lower mids, a humbucker will take the edge off, and the higher output will let you go gainy if you want πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

That's all a good excuse for buying guitars anyway πŸ˜‚

@DyDave I've been playing since I was 8 years old, professionally since my late teens (various bands of varied success, lots of studio work). I have almost as many amps and racks as I have guitars. 😜

@GaryPoole

We tend to go in and out of gear here, but this is today πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@DyDave Nice old school setup. We could talk gear all day, but I can already see all the other Cosonauts eyes glazing over. πŸ˜‚
