If a person is fortunate enough to have two nice guitars how should one spread the practicing between them in the early stages of learning? I realize that I am fortunate to have a nice Strat American Standard and a Les Paul Studio. For the last year or more I have just been switching between them haphazardly. I went a period of months playing the LP and just for no real reason didn't want to pick up the Strat. Then something snapped and for the last couple months I reach for the Strat.

But during the early years should a person have a schedule to switch between them?

1) One day one guitar, then the next day the other?
2) One week one guitar, then the next week the other?
3) One month each?
4) Some sort of schedule based on what I am practicing?
5) I'm over thinking this and tell me to shut the heck up and go practice with which ever one moves me at the time?

Or any other thoughts are appreciated.
