Finished buying guitars that is. I've been buying and selling and trading guitars for over 50 years and it's time to stop. I ended up with 6 electrics 2 acoustics (1 6 string 1 12 string) and a 4 string Pbass. I have no idea how many guitars I've had over the years as well as a ton of amps and now down to 3 amps a Katana 50, Monoprice 15 watt tube amp and a Blackstar Debut 10. I've modded all the guitars except the 2 acoustics and my 60's CV Pbass. I still get GAS from all the pretty pictures and hearing about new guitars coming out and man there are a lot of them these days. I'm also amazed at the quality you get for under $500 really under $300 back when I was learning in the 60's inexpensive guitars were crap same thing in the 70's.
I have a bass and an acoustic I'm going to sale so I didn't list them here

Nice redman. Takes time to get where your at, having boiled the collection down to what you like keeping.

Great bit of variety!!!
Have you considered a rack? Saves a lot of space, even if all of them don't fit.
You can see one of mine in the background.
I think it was like $40 on ebay, but like 5 years ago.
I know it is hard to look away from this awesome rescued cheapy Squier SE strat and the mojo just pulsing from it, but look behind it under the beige tablecloth......

You seem to have all of the bases covered with that stable. Congratulations on your decision.

A phrase I will never say, because when I do - more gear finds its way into my life.
Looks like a good variety of tones in that lot!

Nice collection. Like the PRS you have there. After buying a few PRS myself, I thought I was finished as well. I keep buying more PRS though.

Nice collection. I was finished back in 2017 but then it started back up again. Not like before though, these days I am culling and replacing and maintaining about the same amount. I just like to improve the lot.
You have a nice variety.

I should be done too. But I check Kijiji every day, and the local used shop's website. Can't help myself.
That said, I am looking more now for upgrades for what I currently have --an RG550 to replace an RG350, that kind of thing. I am responsible about it and it brings me joy so why not?
