Guitar Spa Day is where I fix, clean, restring, and tune-up my guitars. At least the ones I have with me, which are my favorite. There’s another one or two that I really want to grab next time I’m in Georgia (at my partner’s parents’ house), but I’m finding what I really need, can get away with, and what makes me happy. It’s fewer guitars than it used to take.

I am a fan of “if it gives you inspiration, it’s good.” But, also, fewer instruments means more time to really get to know each one. But that only goes so far! As in: I really only need: One acoustic. One resonator because I consider it very different than an acoustic, but it could replace it. A few of electrics (2 main guitars, one backup for gigging) (I could pair down if I needed to) One bass is just fine and dandy One banjo is plenty Which means I can get rid of: Three project electrics One semi-hollow guitar One hollow-body electric Two acoustics A banjo A bass But some are sentimental. Some aren’t. But I should pair down.
