    We're basically luthiers' greatest fans. ;) So its easy to love any guitar that has an energy or is done well.
    Like enjoying beautiful women. You don't just look at one. They're all beautiful right?
    Like your show. I see your getting more subscribers. Thanks for the "Indian Ocean" band tip.. NEVER would have heard of them. Nice band!

    When I got back into guitar, after 30 something years, I got a PRS 594 SE, because I heard so many good things aboit them. It was the most beautiful guitar I ever saw, but, the rolled fingerboard was terrible for me. The strings kept rolling off the fretboard. I am in Kentucky, U.S., so, I have a lot of country influence. Therefore, I have seen that all the best picker's play telecaster's.

    This shows the myriad of reasons for choosing our "best"! I have 21 "best"! These are whittled down from 49! And the ones I just can't bring myself to part with. And like you they run the spectrum!

      @@ministryofguitar Thanks for asking! Mostly inspiration to write original pieces. Some of them are so easy to hold & play. Others fight me a bit! Each having a personality of their own. And like the songs I write; they are also my children, if you will. All have a unique voice, function and place in my heart and hands. They have transcended their moniker and perceived commercial value! So, in essence they cannot really ever be replaced. Only imitated.

    If you were a true minister, you would release some of those pieces back into the wild. Having 10 main guitars should be enough for the minister of 🎸 10 is a strong flex. I think maybe you’ve thought of it before. Sometimes you have to think of your portfolio 😂😂

    When ranking anything that you have a personal connection with, you have to be honest with yourself. Just because something is your favorite...it doesn't mean it is the best. It is just like sports teams. I am a huge Montreal Canadiens fans. They are my favorite..but I know that they are not going to win the Stanley Cup next year. You have to be honest and realistic. I have a lot of nice guitars. But my favorite, would be considered to be the best of the bunch of paper.

    I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but your bass is a Jazz bass, not a Precision bass. You can tell because a J Bass has two single coils, and a P bass has a single split coil. You can also tell because it says "Jazz Bass" on the headstock. 😉😆

    For me, if I'm not playing a certain guitar it will be sold or more than likely I wouldn't buy it. If people want to collect guitars, I'm fine with that, collecting anything is not my personality. I collected little things as a kid, I just went through 1500 lapel pins. They're sorted, I've put one on every guitar strap & now they're in a box in my basement that I wont see for a few years. I'm 44 years old & I really don't like clutter, if I'm not using something that's not seasonal, it must go.
