recovering guitar geek here. i used to be a right gear nerd and have tonnes of stuff including spare stage guitars for different tunings and spare amps, mandolins and a handful of acoustics but have just massively cut down on my collection. i seem to care way less than i used about what gets used for what now to the extent where i'm regularly DI-ing guitars for recording demos and just picking up what's about for recording. I'm sure that'll change if and when i start playing live regularly again. Maybe not.
sorry nahuavkine but i really don't like PRS's! as a rule i'm all about the fender + fender combo. there are always exceptions of course but generally i prefer a 25" scale length, single coils and few effects into a cooking valve amp.
following the great gear cull i'm now now down to:
2000 Fender M Tele (MIA w/glendale bridge and brass saddles)
Late 70s Sigma DR28 acoustic
Early 90s Fender Strat (MIM)
Late 60s Framus solidbody (in red sparkle!)
60s Reissue P-Bass
1974 Fender (SF) Pro Reverb.
1968 Fender (SF) Champ
Peavey Classic 30
Ampeg B200 Bass amp
Sessionette 100 Bass amp
i generally don't use much in the way of effects. Reverb and Tremolo from the amp if available but i do use a bit of the following:
Ibanez TS9 or Digitech Badmonkey overdrives.
Marshall Bluesbreaker II (used as straight signal booster)
T-Rex Tremster Tremolo
Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb
Danelectro Danecho and PB&J for slapback, echo and delay.
Errr and that's about it actually. Got a a pod for playing with on demos.
Other than that lot I tinker about on Uke and Mandolin and Melodica at home.
