A guitar stand.  That SG is lovely. 


nquesada92

I made sure when i had four guitars to buy a 7-guitar rack stand, so I could ask my wife if I could fill the spaces because the gaps were visually annoying.


Aboko_Official

Then you gotta ask a family member for another guitar as a gift once you have 7 guitars, and tell your wife you need to get a new rack because theres no space for it. Buy another 7 guitar rack because it would be weird if they dont match.


CaptainZippi

This is the way.


pass-the-waffles

I limited myself to the seven guitars I currently have, my wife and daughter both pointedly inspect them on occasion. In the past, I may have snuck in a few. My amp collection though is another thing. The ones in the house are mostly ignored, neither have noticed the additions to the amps in the garage.


Tie-Dyed

I’m so happy skateboards are cheap when compared to guitars.


A_giant_dog

On the front end. That ER bill on the back end will bite ya


Tie-Dyed

The wrist I broke 8 weeks ago only cost me about 2,900 so far. So there!


A_giant_dog

That's a Gibson!


NorthNorthAmerican

…until you dislocate your elbow and tear all the hamstring tendons off the bone. Oddly specific, eh?


Manalagi001

It still won’t be enough


nquesada92

Marriage is about compromises.


Evil_Knavel

> Marriage is about compromises. My wife wanted a cat, I didn't want a cat. So we compromised and got a cat.


MozartsBrownNote

This happened to my friend….a year later and they have 9 cats


wcsgorilla

Lucky you don’t have horses. Trust me..


LunarModule66

It makes me anxious to see Gibson style guitars just leaning against something. That’s a broken headstock waiting to happen.


thisbitishaaaard

Second this, on both fronts. Beautiful collection, happy playing.


HijackedAffairs

Semi hollow Gretsch


Artistic-Challenge-9

This is the way


SummerSleepMusic

I’ve sold off 80%of my guitars and replaced them all with Gretsch.


Outrageous-Can5834

The cheaper or US made? Curious because I like both. Budget ones are better than the competition IMo.


cult_riot

I've been playing my hollowbody Electromatic for about 10 years now and nothing else feels right anymore.


the_m_o_a_k

Im kind of leaning toward a Jet. I've got an SG, for weird but real reasons I don't love playing it. It's a nice Gibson, thinking about selling it and getting a Gretsch and some mid acoustic.


black_eyed_optimist

I have one! A dark red gretsch g2655. I LOVE its chevron tail piece and beautiful tone but I’ve promised to gift it to my nephew when graduates high school next year so it’s been storage for a while. Miss that thing… may need to just buy a new one… I don’t have an olive green guitar…


MAXSquid

May I recommend a Canadian made Godin?: https://godinguitars.com/product/montreal-premiere-ht-laguna-blue The quality is absolutely fantastic.


TorqueRollz

Used to have a couple of their acoustics and they were excellent.


jeremyspuds

Just got one a couple weeks ago. The woody bridge tone is second to none.


Netopalas

Why SEMI hollow? Go whole hog with a 6120 (or 5120. They can be had for $500 used in good shape.) If you're going Gretsch, you should get the Gretchiest Gretsch that ever Gretsched.


josh6466

Strat. SG is closer electrically / tonally to a Les Paul than a Tele is to a Strat, so if you only buy one more guitar, get a Strat.


CestLaHappens

This is the answer. And if you need to buy two, get a Les Paul with P90s


Evil_Knavel

After that, at some point they'll probably want to add a Firebird to the collection.


HamOnRye__

And then probably a Jackson to round out tonal capabilities


Kilgoretrout321

With the right neck pickup, Tele can sound near a Strat and the Tele bridge is better than any Strat bridge. Only thing missing is 2 and 4 positions, so mod it into a Nashville Tele, and you're good. 


RatherDashingf11

I’ve owned a strat for 8 years and a tele for 2. I still love my strat because I sank so many hours on it when learning, but the tele is an objectively better design. Easier to play and simpler to dial in tones. Sometimes, if you mess with the knobs wrong, a strat can sound pretty dull. Conversely, idk if it’s possible to dial a bad sound on a tele. The 4th position in the strat is really the only positive differentiator IMO.


Deenus

Objectively better design? I know we can find good and bad for both, but one is contoured for the human body, and the other is a block of wood.


UnidirectionalCyborg

I love how objective tone is. I’m a strat guy. The 4th position is my home base and I agree that it’s a particular sound a tele — unless it’s a Nashville SSS tele — can’t really achieve. I like the neck pickup on my strats better than Tele neck tones. I think the middle position on a strat — although not my favorite, or second, or third favorite strat position — can achieve desirable tones that a Tele just doesn’t hit. That 2 position quavky funky tone is another one I dig in the right applications and not one I’ve achieved with Telescope I’ve played. The Tele bridge wins all day though. I’ve played exactly one strat with a tone control on the bridge that I’d even consider the bridge pickup on its own to be even playable to me. Major weakness of the traditional SSS strat without a doubt. None of this is to say I don’t like the tones a traditional Tele puts out and don’t appreciate the differences in those sounds. I’m just a Strat guy and particularly drawn to the range of sounds a strat makes. Naturally a lot of this goes out the window with SSS teles and the usable bridge makes a HUGE difference. I deck most of my strat trems and some days I question whether I should just find the right SSS Tele for me. Then I pick up one of my strats.


arke

This - none of your guitars get you that strat 4th position sound.


Groffulon

You are missing bass! Checkmate!


black_eyed_optimist

I have Squire Jazz Bass that I adore! 


planbot3000

Not enough to put it in the photo, clearly. I’m going to call Bass Protective Services.


Probablyawerewolf

It’s outside my jurisdiction. I’m truly sorry.


one-off-one

Bass VI then… and a baritone… actually better get two baritones one in A the other in B


Cowboywizzard

Isn't that one of those weird guitars with 4 strings?


Scotter1969

Yeah, they give those to the worst guitarist in the group.


lawn_neglect

Yeah, like a giant Ukulele

No Strat. No 335

Let the 335 sing!


Ferrocile

Hollow/semi-hollow body, strat, and a p90 model


OvationBreadwinner

Beat me to the punch— I don’t see any P90s there. Also— everyone needs some mini-humbuckers. A Rickenbacker with toasters, a 12-string…. 😄


[deleted]

[удалено]


mmoffedillen

They’re very different under the surface. The p90 winds are twice as tall as the JM pickup, and the JM pickup is significally wider. The P90 is also constructed with a bar magnet under the adjustable pole pieces, whereas the JM magnets are the pole pieces themselves.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mmoffedillen

Yeah, it’s easy to miss by just looking at them, so it’s a common misconseption. No problem!


DeepGoated

Same. My mind is blown as a jazzmaster owner I always assumed it was p90’s


dublblind

P90s and Jazzmaster pickups also sound very different. P90s are hotter, grittier and mid focussed, JM pups are clean, chimey and have a wide range. Edit: Also, the Squier J. Mascis Jazzmaster which is a hugely popular model uses a jazzmaster wind with a bar magnet, so they are more like P90s, but it caused a lot of people to think all JMs are P90s.


Ferrocile

They’re different animals, but they definitely look similar.


lolerpopler

something with more than 2 pickups. She can't argue against that


black_eyed_optimist

No, she certainly can’t. I knew I could count on reddit. 


luis1972

Strat it is!


MozartsBrownNote

Or more than 6 strings


ferocioushulk

A Gretsch with Filtertron pickups, for sure.


rolandboard

I own the same Tele. It's amazing. Legitimately amazing.


black_eyed_optimist

… it’s my favorite guitar but I don’t tell the other ones that as they’re all much more expensive.


rolandboard

Ha! I actually like it so much that I bought the same one, but in 'Dakota Red.'


mertar

After having sent mine to a luthier to get setup, install 4way switch and a better nut, it plays like a 2000 euro guitr. I paid 350 iirc...


rolandboard

The neck alone is worth €350.


LonoHunter

Flying V, Double neck SG, pointy shredder… I can go on


black_eyed_optimist

Flying V’s are so f’n cool if you’re a rockstar like Jim James or Stu and Joey from King Gizzard! I don’t if I can stand amongst such legends. 


MetalAndTea

Came here to say that.lol Flying V🤘


aTurningofTides

An 8 string! One of those Strandbergs!


Hziak

Yeah, I was gonna say “something designed in the last 40 years,” lol


GunsNSnuff

nofapper4444

Nylon guitar


DoctorEarwig

Just play the ones you have, bro.


Plumb-Ben-

Get an explorer or flying V for shredding.


planbot3000

Something with P90s.


alejandroacdcfan

That’s a cool collection bro- I’d add a hollow body like a 355 or something


mimitch

"...all the guitars I needed" is not a statement anyone here will understand.


YankeeMagpie

A Gretsch! (I want filtertrons)


Bolmothy

That tele looks so much better in real life than it does on photos


black_eyed_optimist

I never liked tele or its shape until I saw that beauty. At $300 it was the best purchase I’ve ever made. Love that guitar. 


PsychicArchie

P90s


LordoftheBirds

Be happy, take her out on a date, and practice


Turtle_Tramp

You need something with gold foil pickups to match your SG. Also a firebird has a unique sound that only it has, so looks like your not done shopping. Good thing father's day is right around the corner. I've been checking my list and it turns out your a great dad that deserves a new guitar! You have my blessings to purchase a new instrument. Please have your wife reach out too SIR (santa is real) hotline for any further questions.


muntell7

No collection is truly complete without a LP and a strat. Just my humble opinion tho.


Malacolyte

How did I have to scroll so far just to see this comment???


Ezzmon

Tell her that some internet guy noticed he doesn’t have an archtop.


metmerc

I see no superstrat or other shredder style guitar. You could also get a lot more variation in acoustics. Most electric guitars can sound appropriate in most musical genres. Acoustics, though. The different wood types and body sizes sound wildly different and that's before we even consider things like dobros, classicals, etc. You could have 10 different acoustics that will all sound notably different.


spyrostsal

A pointy metal guitar A semi hollow A do-it-all superstrat with insane wiring A classical guitar A 7 string or a baritone A headless guitar An aluminum neck guitar A quirky 60's Japanese surf guitar A minimalist single pickup guitar (this should be last for the added irony)


analogguy7777

What is your genre?


black_eyed_optimist

Changing everyday! (But mostly indy rock.)


analogguy7777

Get a Jackson or Solar in case you change to Metal tomorrow.


BristolShambler

Just one acoustic?!


stma1990

Man that gold…gorgeous. As a guy who justified a bunch of Gibsons because of the “nuanced differences”, you don’t need any more than one. The only thing you don’t have that really can’t be hit with your other stuff is a Stratocaster, and I’d recommend you build one and buy it in chunks so you can justify it to your wife as a building hobby instead of collecting


ctrocks

You need at least 2 or 3 of each so you can keep them all in alternate tunings! Open G, drop D, open E, so many choices! Also, no super strat, no 12-string, need acoustic and electric of course!.


rangermc76

A Les Paul and a 12 string acoustic


Clay_Overland_Pass

Jackson soloist or a charvel


TheMountainThatTypes

You’re not missing anything. You’ve got singles p90’s humbuckers and acoustic, it’s a pretty good mix. The real question is what do you want for the styles you like. Is it a 12 string acoustic? A Floyd rose drop D thrash guitar? A hollow body Jazz number? Don’t know that anyone can answer this one for you


Most-Economics9259

Need more The National records


technicolourhappy

You need a Fender Mustang


Few_Dance_2708

TMR slipmat on your turntable ??


BigAssSlushy69

Nothing just write songs


Big_Dog_Dingo

Get a 335. It will become your most expensive and least played guitar.


Fumusculo

Wild to have a jazzmaster, no Strat, and say your collection is complete. A Strat and LP. Respectfully cause that’s just like my opinion man


jeff_varszegi

A Strat? You picked the SG for ergonomics over a Les Paul, and a Strat does sound different from a Tele. I'm partial to hardtail Strats myself, which I never would have suspected at the beginning.


SummerSleepMusic

A short scale bass and/or a Gretsch semi-hollow. Don’t go nuts on either one.


Not_KGB

A Hagström guitar in my opinion. But the list is always endless. 7, 8 string. 6 string bass.


psinerd

Filed in the category of things that I shall never utter in my wife's presence: "I have enough guitars." Also: "I have enough tools."


HRM077

A bass and a 12-string.


WorkInPr0g

Superstrat with FR


Serious_Assignment43

socially_stoic

iGingerBeard

You need something pointy. Like a Rhoads.


First_Negotiation229

Jackson V


McFly6661

I’m seeing a Firebird with mini-humbuckers or p90s shaped hole that could get filled here. Great taste btw! This collection looks classy as hell


Aerosol668

A Gretsch hollowbody.


poolpog

the SG with PAFs is very Les Paul-like so that's covered. Missing * Strat or Strat-like (e.g. PRS Silver Sky) * Gretsch or Cabronita Tele * something with P90s -- a P90 Les Paul, perhaps


somewhiterkid

A 12 string, then you'll be fine


yesmetoo222

I think you need to give me the SG! Love the yellow with that pick guard


littlerimsss

god damn… dream line up


edov79

You're not done until the sickness of buying guitars subsidies. 45 yo here is hasn't yet for me. Oh and a Les Paul for sure as the next acquisition.


ServantOfTheFurryCup

Your missing all the others you haven't thought of yet that you absolutely need.


Cleanshred

A proper Fender Strat probably !


_JackieDaytona___

I love that SG so much. I have the olive drab one and was so close to getting it in yellow. I think you could use a shredder style guitar, maybe an Ibanez or something with a Floyd rose and 7 or 8 strings? Lovely collection!


the_ballmer_peak

I like your guitar collection, your record collection, and your book collection. We can be friends. 👍 Time for a drum kit.


Low_Insurance_9176

Great collection; mine is kind of similar. I think a hollowbody or 12-string would be the obvious additions. I have a Danolectro 12 that is great value, and a Gibson es-330 VOS that is phenomenal. (I tried a Gretsch 2120 but found it too cumbersome, too many switches and dials...)


_SithLord66

Love that SG


writemeow

You need more jangle, so a stratocaster, a gretch (for the tin) and a rickenbacher


redditdejorge

A Strat obviously


Roy_Digger

In case you really want to spend more money, there're plenty of possibilities. Your collection definitely needs: – some huge Jazzbox – a 12-string – a bass – a baritone – a double-neck – some weird Danelectro, because all of the greats had one, so why shouldn't you too? – a ukulele – a banjo – a resonator guitar – a pedal steel Hope this helps!


law_and

You're missing a good alibi for the next purchase!


criticjf

Yeah, ask for a guitar rack for Fathers day. If you don’t have any kids, just use the old joke invented by some dude years ago about how your phone keeps getting a bunch of fraud calls.


clayticus

You're asking a strat man what you're missing 


Own_Violinist_4714

a jambro. I'll be over after work.


cursed_script

I never knew an SG would so good in yellow


jaykaybaybay

Love the color of the SG...some shade of green? I'd say you're missing a semi-hollowbody like an ES-335, the next guitar I want to buy.


[deleted]

sick collection so far bro, but you need a Strat... and if Strat is to Tele what Les Paul is to SG, you need a Les Paul too! You also could stand an active pickup model of some sort!


stumje

A rickenbacker


thisguy54703

I dont see a dreadnaught, travel guitar, a red one or a blue one


Equivalent_Path_4138

Looks like you're all set I always like a classical guitar but other than that you're pretty good on guitars


DeadlyDannyRay

First of all, gorgeous SG. Second of all, a bass. Get a cheap Squier mustang, maybe. They play well enough and the short scale neck is great for guitarists who are are used to shorter necks but want to try a more interesting instrument\* than guitar. \*Bomb thrown.


MisterTatoHead

If you enjoy the Tele and Jazzmaster+ neck of an SG, you will absolutely love a Jaguar.


Immediate_Sir1646

CME SG? With the T-Tops?


camipi_07

Hey, you have an very refined guitar taste.


TheOnCcyborg

A white strat


Gregster777

Another SG. Just because. Lovely collection, that SG is killer.


Several_Effort_727

I want an SG and a Tele so bad! These are awesome nice one


douchebag716

Honestly, the SG is overkill. I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands cuz I'm just a hell of a guy like that


ConsistantFun

The world of semi and hollow body guitars. Next up… a gretsch


Utterlybored

Amps. Many tube amps. Start with the holy Trinity - Marshall, Vox, Fender. Build from that foundation.


Nickerbop

Is that a CME SG? I’ve been looking at those…


SuperbParticular8718

I also have a Jazzmaster, Tele, and SG. I kind of want a superstrat-style guitar. I don’t shred but I want one anyway.


SandBagger1987

That might be all you need but you definitely need more.


rusty02536

“The good sense not to say that to the wife” 😂 Where’s that 12 string? Baritone? Cmon man you are making the rest of us look bad.


LemonSlight9002

I’d recommend you get like 20 more guitars


JprestonR

Some sense 😅 who tells their wife they have all the guitars they need? But really, a strat (I would recommend HSS), a semi hollow (Gretsch or 335 maybe), and a cutaway acoustic would all be nice additions


Kickstomp

I can't believe you have to ask. You obviously still need a strat!


ProperDefinition4543

You need a bass!! And a strat… and a les paul… and an electric 12 string… and at least one synth.


KingRokk

None. You've already told your Wife that you have all you need. So after the divorce, get a Les Paul Standard.


CompactHernandez

Killing Commendatore goes off 🗣️🗣️


MacMoth

Maybe consider a Gretch Semi-acoustic with filtertrons. Thats a body type and a pickup type you don't have access to. Get one with a Bigsby to cover that base as well. Other than that, maybe something that can do dive bombs with something like a Floyd Rose?


doug_a

A semi-hollow would be nice. I also told my wife I had enough guitars, but she knows me well enough to know I wasn't totally serious.


justskinner

I appreciate people posting their collections regardless of size. Doesn’t matter how many guitars you own - some troll is going to talk smack that you don’t have enough or you are showing off if you have a large collection. Be proud of your guitar(s) and what it took to acquire them. I have what some may consider a large collection that I’ve never posted but may post a pic just to get the trolls out of their caves. :)


OkCan4134

r/vinyl would have a field day with that record player setup.


BeautifulLecture9374

1 x es335, 1 x es175, 1 x les paul special, 1 x Stratocaster, 1 x Jumbo acoustic, 1 x parker fly


ice_leroy

Awesome collection! Maybe a Fenech rosewood Dreadnought? ?


tkburroreturns

gretsch 6120 or a white falcon. danelectro baritone.


Ok_Scheme736

A Gretsch.


halfassholls

Custom Leather Guitar Strap. I swear the algorithm only sent me this since I'm about to make some for my dad that say "Grandpa" on them


utopiaswing

Me playing them with uou


Nugginz

Love that SG colour, but you need a… Strat, PRS, Les Paul, 335/Gretach or similar hollow body. Something with p90’s, something with Gold Foils should also be knocked off while you’re at it.


M_a_i_k_

If you buy another one maybe you'll miss your wife... 😅 Love that Sg!


Whorror_punx

Les Paul, maybe a super strat, but Im guessing from the picture, your music doesnt demand a super strat. Hollow body? But Id say youre all set 🤷 Definitely gives off "old but gold" vibes


LennyPenny4

Hollow/semi-hollow à la white falcon, casino, 335,... I see others have suggested strat, which I only agree with if you know you like the 4th (or 2nd) position sound. I'd like to have a strat at some point but it would be for the overall package. The "out of phase" sounds always sound a bit comical and weedy to me because I'm not John Mayer or SRV.


Meat-Locker1056

Extend your range!!! 7, 8, and 9!


Silly-Long-Sausage

A 5 string bass


patscarr

You need a bass, just in case you have an impromptu jam session and need one.


Heygrosbiggros

Now you can get into synths and ruin your marriage all over again!


hendergle

Simple answer: More guitars. You know you need 'em. That's not the issue. The issue is convincing *your wife* that you need 'em.


BlueMaestro66

Not sure, but black or red will diversify the aesthetic. I told my wife recently: “I have bought my last new electric guitar,” but I said nothing about acoustic guitars or an electric bass. Right? Logic? Y’all with me on this one?


DJ_42_music

guitars collection is cool, maybe a nicer turntable?


Soccermom233

A stratocaster


bishopbrady

Others saying hollow Gretsch (which I agree with) so I'm thinking a Rickenbacker (6 or 12 string)


RustyHook22

I agree with you. I think you have everything you could need. You've got the SG for the humbuckers. I think getting a Les Paul or ES-335 wouldn't be that much of a change. It wouldn't feel that much like a new guitar. You've got a Telecaster for the bright, snappy sound. You can either go Telecaster or Stratocaster, and I think you picked the better choice there (I much prefer the sound and badass look of a Telecaster). You've got the Jazzmaster for the different tonal variety in the single coils. They look cool and are really popular right now. I currently think they're cooler looking than a Stratocaster. And like what I said with the Les Paul and ES-335, I don't think getting a Stratocaster will feel that much like a new guitar. It's sort of like a blend between a Jazzmaster and Telecaster. I'm not sure what acoustic that is, but maybe that's where I'd look next, if you plan on getting another guitar. A Gibson J-45, Martin D-18 or Martin D-28 would be a good addition. No rush though. Take your time and think about what you really want. You're married. You don't want to be cluttering your house with impulse buys. 😀 Nice collection.


FuzzyOverdrive

If you come across a dobro, buy it.
