    In Nashville:


    the '60 goes back to the '80s with me:

    Asking a guitarist "How many guitars would you like to own" is like asking Imelda Marcos "How many shoes would you like to own".

    Oh no! don't open the How many guitars do you need / how many pairs of shoes do you need argument !

    I've got a USA Artist series, a MIM classic series 50's, & a MIJ late 80's standard. All good players & all different.
    ( plus a number of others, however this is in the Stratocaster board)

    Only one for Strat sounds. Preferably a nice surf-y color. I'm not a collector, nor will I be a mega rock star who needs a ton of guitars to support his touring requirements.

    Who's going to start the "who's the best guitarist thread"?

    Rick, so you're saying that most guitar players buy guitars out of a neurotic need to demonstrate wealth or power, just as Imelda Marcos obviously bought shoes?

    I tend to agree, I'm just clarifying. :)

    Re: How many would you like to have?

    Now my world is back in balance. I had 2 Teles and one Jazzmaster and now I have traded away one of the Teles for a Strat.

    So now I've got a Fender for all occasions. :)

    These days the only thing I have with Fender on the headstock is my Strat. I don't play it all that much.

    95% of the time I'm playing my green Duo-Jet with dynasonics. I really haven't touched much else in the last few months. It plays and sounds fantastic, and works with the current band's material really well.

    Re: How many would you like to have?

    I've had some good ones (Strats) over the years and eventually moved them along for something else. No regrets. It's the way it is with us geeter pickers, methinks. lol As we speak, I have a 2010 American Standard Strat coming to me on a trade for a Carvin I had and wasn't playing.

    I would think that having that one perfect Strat to capture that Strat thang does it for me. I currently have a Les Paul that is staying with me until I finally make the journey. I also have a Carvin TLB60 that I built and finished from a kit, and that thing is a beast. Another "keeper" with a sound like nothing else. Adding a good Strat will round things out for me. For now. Maybe.
