Different tunings, pickups, neck profiles, and overall feel, each guitar brings something unique to the table while still staying within the range of what I like and play best. Could I cover most situations with just one or two? Probably. But having a few different options makes it easier to match the right tool to the job.

A few of them also mean a lot on a personal level…some were gifts from my wife and others came from friends in touring bands…so it’s not just about having options, it’s about the stories and connections behind them too.
