I may have another one on the way.

There is a certain liberating feel to it.

I've been playing the A&L Legacy tonight as I have a concert spot on Saturday night. It sounds really sweet for the song I'm doing, even capo'd right up at the 7th fret and fingerpicked with metal picks. It has to carry to an audience of 70+ without a pa, and it will be fine for that.

Wow, I have thought about downsizing to only one, but then I slapped myself back to sanity!

Seriously, I believe it is important for us to be content. I could get by with only one. I prefer to have around 5. Makes me wonder why I have way more than 5!

I am looking to downsize. I would like to keep 3 really good acoustics and a resonator or 2. I only have 1 resonator at this time.

Down to two Godin guitars !
Maybe I should follow you and sell my Martin, Taylor, Collings, etc…
…and keep only my Godin made Seagull Performer and 5th Avenue.
I could then afford new golf clubs…

Well, of course, they'll all be up for sale sooner than later! Seeing as I'm 76 now, possibly sooner!
