How Many Are "Too Many" Guitars? 

😂

Consider that he was a musical producer from the Classic Era which means that he must have as many Guitars, Amps, and instruments in general as he can to allow a whole range of sounds for the musicians that are going to play a specific song. A very Important thing

Do you ride push bikes by any chance? 🙂

the , umms help summon memories lol Great job !

It's called passion! :D

Yeah they can remember guitars but what about anniversarys

@@christopherbalmforth2514they would never forget “anniversary collections”😂

Or that's the point where you are just starting to have enough! Hit my dopamine button, baby!

Did you see the recent Casino Guitars featuring the collector how was part of an organized theft of his storage unit. This gang started selling them all over the country. Sad story. We all can learn something from this . For me, I told my wife that I need so many guitars in so many places to make them harder to count and to steal!

@@rikkousa he made a LOT of security mistakes so I'm pretty sure my comment mentioning that while making a plea on their platform for help with what probably WOULD NOT happen to most people who manage their assets competently, especially when they have a LOT. It's like if I finally got promoted to a job that paid more than I can spend - eventually I would get an accountant and a lawyer to watch each other and a third guy to make sure they were staying in line too. I mean, when you have that much liquidity you can even hire a couple private detectives to keep an eye on things as well as each other. But they didn't. There was no sympathy in my heart, I don't care if they get them back - I hope someone is playing them somewhere. They didn't respect their money or their stuff so they didn't get to keep it, is the simple truth. Maybe losing all his shit will cause him to make a life evaluation and somehow become a better person and maybe even save his life because lord knows what he was doing to himself party wise if he accumulated that much stuff and was still going "ahhh I'll deal with that later, it's not going to happen to me". I don't know the guy personally but ffs I'm old and I've known MANY people who've had the same thing happen and nearly invariably it's because they were distracted with "other things" that are more fun than making sure your insurance premiums are paid and your locks don't all use the same key and that you have track of all those copies and etc and etc and etc. Hell, I do the same thing but I don't have storage units crammed with valuable non-depreciating hard assets.

I do it graphically with a PowerPoint type document. Helps to limit/prevent duplication in the herd.

It's actually a wise thing to do for insurance purposes. I created an Excel sheet and make edits as needed.

You're not alone in this situation 😄

me too

☆Just so all 3 of you know, what they said is 100% True. (To me) and them, but everything is to their perspective, so it could not be accurate to some. Just my opinion,... the more you know. Have a good weekend everyone...🙂

100%, well said. I can't agree with you more.

Clean ing unfinished frettboards is definately a good thing. Steel wool the fibers that ahed some getting stuck in the wood and rusting eventually. I would suggest trying bronze wool or a scotch brite pad. They both come in different " grits" so happy cleaning. Then a little oil. Nice

.. as long as the steel wool is very fine & top grade.. not your average supermarket fare.. used with boiled linseed oil, and wiped clean afterwards..

And now I’ve learned this trick from y’all. Thanks!

Dave's shop

Am I missing something about Rick's signature guitar because I can't find any for sale or listed on the Gibson website???

@@MM-kh7nx I think Rick said at some point it was due out in the summer, but maybe Gibson hasn't released it just yet. I suspect Rick will announce it with some fanfare when it comes out.

@@pallhe THANK YOU so much for the reply!

@@jojena_imm Agreed. He's leaving a lot on the table.

I agree, hearing good dudes talking guitar is an amazing way to waste time… I love it.

😂😂😂

After many years of "just one more" I could open a freaking guitar center. And I am not even in a band anymore. Why do I "need" so many? And while I should be selling I just keep finding more I want. This is surely a sickness but could be worse.

Just one more time n we can’t resist though I always resist ,:-0

I want food, gear n anything all else, then maybe Flying V but that is definite maybe. ,:-0

n maybe new open hole flute ,:-0

I have, especially in a small space. Have a buddy that has 47 and you start running out of room

No u can never have to many. I'm running out of room as well between guitars amps heads combos and cabs. Then wahs and other pedals all over the place. U can run out of room but I no people with more guitars than most stores 200 or more guitars and I would love to have them also. Lol. I'll find room. Make them fit. If I have to the bed and sofa kitchen table chairs whatever has to go to get them in lol!!

@@ShaunZimmerman668 haha! Stack them high!

A guy named Bonamassa perhaps?

Bless you

would be interesting what she thinks when rick explains to her: oh it´s the pick ups! that´s why i need 6 or 7 les pauls *smile

I have the same problem with my wife. She will ask me “every time” I get another guitar, exactly how many guitars is enough? And I say “just one more”, Lol! 😎👍

No way it would be a problem, it could go this way : "honey, first I need them for the job, and, you know, the kids will love them too ... " ;)

only wives of poor average schmoes give a crap how much money their husbands spend on gear.

@@yomuthabyotch hm i don´t know but it sounds you´re very familiar with that topic!

Exactly how I feel, and I have the same amount as you now. I would be happy just playing my almost 40 year old Kramer, but I’m still trying to spend maybe equal time on my new Jackson. Many more, and most will just sit on the wall getting dusty.🎸😝🤘🏻

I find myself favoring my tele and les paul...my strat isn't getting any love. May need to trade for an acoustic.

@@reidponce I've had my Ibanez RG570 since 1992 so that's 29 years. I've gigged it and modded it and it's been my favourite forever. It doesn't stop me wanting other guitars with a different flavour on a recording. My last purchase was a £100 guitar from the Ukraine. I needs work but ultimately it will sound different to anything I have. You can acquire gear and it's not a problem. All my guitars are up on really good neck grips and all look fantastic sand play fantastic when I take them down. I have a 1964 Teisco VN2 baritone Guitar. It was my first electric guitar. I'd played acoustic for about 2 years. I played it through a Vox AC30 that the Yacht club my father was a member of that sat in an unused hall in the building. I'd played guitar for a few years but didn't have my own amp. The sound of the electric through the Twin 12s of the Ac30 was Crazy. We were not able to properly overdrive it for long because were under the bar and it was crazy loud but that sealed the deal for me. I bought an amp off another local guitarist called a demon 20. 1 channel but had a boost switch that turned it into an animal of an amp. Complete distortion fuzz overdrive. All of it. It was a great amp to learn on because it was either clean or an animal that you had to work hard to clean up to mild overdrive at high attack. Also it would randomly not work and that would require beating it and lots of reverb noises until whatever lose connection made contact. Great amp for me as a 14 year old boy. Luv and Peace.

I agree I use to think I needed 10 guitars and always buying and trying just to realize I can cover all walks of music with my 3 electrics and my acoustic. No more driving myself nuts trying and buying returning guitars Im finally content.

@@reidponce NO NO NO!!! Don't ditch the strat! I have tele, lp and strat- love them all equally but U can easily get more sounds/variations out of the strat!!!

Ditto!

Dave is a killer player

@@rickbeato2 Hi Rick, Thank you for your videos, books and courses (I am a youtube follower and client, here in Lawrenceville, GA). I have a few guitars and would like to get in touch with Dave, for some consultations. I hope you can help me contact him (I don't have Facebook or Instagram accounts, and couldn't find his info online). Thank you, again and sorry to bother, this way. Regards, C.

@@BkBk-gy6vr sure. Look at Steve Vai or Rick Nielsen. I actually play almost all of these...

Wondering the same thing my fellow lefty!

@@timwalls7944 it's genuinely not worth asking, I tried to buy one of the recent Iommi SG's only to find lefties were special order only and none are coming to England!

@@hughjarrse I'm a lefty and I find this to be too funny. No left handed Tony Iommi SG's in England. That's just as bad as no left handed Jimi Hendrix signature Stratocaster's in the USA.

There will be, you just have to find him
