I really should down-size, but I know I won't get much for the ones I want to sell.


Wouldn't mind thinning the herd a bit, but I just hate the hassle of dealing with folks to sell a $200-300 instrument.
Would rather find someone to gift them to,... like strummer..
Tom, consider giving your unwanted guitars to Guitars 4 Vets.  You have no idea how precious used guitars are to vets with PTSD.

Of course more than one button applies. Went with whim, even though it might take a bit of time to act on that 'whim'. So usually I get an idea or inspiration and see where it leads.

Well, I thought I was going to respond that I was holding steady and thinking about reducing, since I have had a guitar for sale for a month or so… But then when I bought a New Taylor within days of selling one, I had to change my answer…. Be on the lookout for my NGD post … Ok, so I am firmly on the camp of holding steady… gotta sell one before I buy one

3 down and one to go.  Ramirez for classical; Martin 000-28 EC for steel, my new (as of July 16, 2021) Taylor 814ce-N for Nylon and now I just need a nice hollowbody jazz guitar for chord melody stuff but its hard to find one with a 1 3/4 nut width which is what I want.
