I've got three electrics, three acoustic and one bass all collecting dust. To be fair, the 9 synths and piano don't get a lot of attention these days either

Jung used to live high on the hog when he coined the term consumerism. Nice house nice things but he was somehow shocked to see consumerist behavior in the working and emerging middle class. How dare companies create brand identities so that consumers might value variety and quality.

I sold all of my guitars for this very reason and then bought a few specific ones I know I'd commonly use (two electrics and one acoustic). Maybe one day I'll get around to doing the same with my amps and pedals... yea, maybe.
I recently heard someone claim they're "naturally lazy". You can't fault the person especially when it's cleverly and/or bluntly admitted.

I've been enjoying putting mine back into rotation. It's not that hard to pick up a guitar play it for 30 minutes to an hour then another for 30 minutes to an hour. I work six days a week and four of them are 12 hour days. I find playing guitar before bedtime or in the early hours much more enjoyable than watching tv or chasing threads even with my arthritis.
It sure beats going out in the blistering cold with my drone.
And for those who must know my current stable is 10 guitars with four on the bucket list. Those will have to wait till I get a decent MFX.

I've done the same for as long as I've had multiple guitars, rotating between them. But I don't really have a fixed schedule for it. Depending on what I'm doing, I might pick a specific guitar and change to another one when needed. If I don't need a certain type of guitar, I choose the one that has stood the longest time unplayed. Helps also that I've kept my "collection" minimal, my last guitar purchase was back in 2002. When I started out, I gave away my old guitars when I got new ones, guess I'm not into collecting stuff which would just collect dust. Would there be any, I'd clean them up, as I also do...tapper mike wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 12:11 am I've been enjoying putting mine back into rotation.

All of them except the PRS - we're decorating my daughter's room so a lot of her furniture and assorted junk is crammed in my room blocking off the guitars.

Oh wow. I'm an old timer, too. Well, 60, but who's counting. I wanted to rule the world with my guitars, but here I am, playing ONLY synths. I did drag out a strat copy (Xaviere Ash) for a song recently, but that's rare.
If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.

About basses and synths. In my hey day a third of my paying gigs were as a bass player. Good money plenty of gigs but it was killing my shoulder as well as other things. Haven't missed playing bass but do enjoy playing bass lines via midi (linnstrument)
