I’ve played enough guitars over the years that I have a pretty good understanding of what I do and don’t like. I’ve also come to appreciate minimizing the number of guitars owned, for practicalities such as limited space, familiarity, and marital stability lol. But what this means is I’m now looking for one guitar to meet all of the specifications I want, and I have preferences (to varying degrees) for nearly every aspect of a guitar, and of course I haven’t found any off-the-shelf guitars that tick all of the boxes. Do you think I should…
1. Be less picky. Try to learn to accept less than ideal/perfect.
2. Buy/build a custom spec. guitar, e.g. Warmoth/Kiesel/Balaguer etc.
3. Something else I haven’t thought of?
I’ll admit option 2 is somewhat scary considering there always seems to be the possibility that some preference changes in the future, or something about the guitar doesn’t come out exactly as desired. I’m assuming I’m not the only person who’s gone through this, so I would like thoughts, opinions, and experiences from others.
