One $4.5k guitar or three $1,500 guitars?
 
Would you rather have one great guitar or three pretty good guitars with different tone woods?

I have no idea how much I've spent on guitars to find the right fit for me...but I'd probably rather not know.
I would choose the 4.5 grand AND the three $1500 guitars option if it were available. But since it's not I would choose the three $1500. I like having some variety in size and tone woods.

One great guitar for me 4.5K gives you access to some great acoustics.

I would take the three $1,500 guitars. One would have mahogany B/S, one would have Rosewood B/S, and would would be solid mahogany, B/S/T. All would be dreads and all would likely be the upper end of the scale Asian guitars.

I'd definitely get the $4.5k guitar.

I can't justify owning one guitar that is worth more than my car...but I'd go with a couple $2,250's!! ;). Lots of good ones in that price range...

I agree with 7 palms, lots of great buys in the used $2K to $2,500 or so range.

But he said three guitars which cost $1.5k not $2k-2.5k.

For me, quality over quantity. You could get an awesome used boutique guitar for $4.5K. That would do it for me.

Definitely the 4.5K guitar.

Heck, I don't have a car. That is part of the justification for owning a Froggy;)

So...
I'd buy something really nice for the wife, and maybe two nice guitars. Perhaps a middling priced Breedlove, and a J45.
Or a Larrivee OM40r, and an older Yairi.

But you have to give homage to the spouse that makes it all possible.

$4.5 guitar for me.

stepchildusmc 06-14-2014 06:25 PM

I'd go with the 3 lower priced guitars. I'd have a heck of a selection rather than just one.

44Runner 06-14-2014 06:26 PM

I have well under that in my 810ce, 314ce and 324e and am extremely happy so I have to go 3.

Jeff Scott 06-14-2014 06:28 PM

One quality guitar for me, thanks.
