    Something's Got To Give

    I just realized I have five guitars sitting out in my living room. They vary in size and price, and emit different sounds (somehow all sounding like guitars). They range from the (relatively) cheap Ibanez AAM50CE, to the relatively modest Furch Pioneer, the midrange Martin OMC-15ME and Furch LJ10-CM "Little Jane" to the high-end Lowden S35-c.

    Obviously, this isn't a problem, and I'm not whining because they are all terrific guitars and I'd have a hard time parting with any one of them.

    But I used to only have three guitars out at any time. How did I let this happen? I should probably put two of them away. But I can't decide which two.

    Yes, it's a third world problem. Thanks for letting me vent.

    You need a Guitar Humidor with a glass window so you can see all of them at the same time.
    Like picking the pair of shoes or shirt you're going to wear for the day, your guitars need to be readily viewable so the right selection can be made easily while avoiding all the clutter of having them out.
    You don't store your clothes all cluttered and scattered, or your tools, etc... So, you just need to get on the stick and build a "Viewing Humidor" and have your guitars at the ready to suit your every playing mood whenever the urge to play strikes you.
    That is a "First World Solution" to your first world problem!
    If you're bored, you're not groovin'.
