When I did my last trade in , my salesmen explained the correct number of guitars is n+1. n being the number currently owned.
I was trading in an electric G&L for a classical nylon string so I think I have scratched my itch until I see a vast improvement in my playing and knowledge of guitar sounds.
So, traded in my beginner acoustic for a better quality Faith parlour which I thought would be easier to hold and play, and it is. A full size Sigma acoustic and now a Sigma classical which I reach for the most often . For the electric I have settled on an Epiphone Les Paul . I need way more experience before I can buy another guitar knowing it to be a step up in quality and would improve my range of music.
So n+1, if it draws you to it why resist .

I thought I'd scratched the itch.
Well less than a year on I went and did it again.
Tried to trade in my laminate acoustic only to have the disappointment of a refusal. The solid top was showing signs of bowing so they wouldn't/couldn't take it.
But the itch was too strong once your in the shop. Been watching the Alvarez youtube videos and Chris Miekle the CEO hails from my part of Northern England. So Alvarez MF60OM now has a home. Acoustic traded in at a Cash converter. So with a price match for the Alvarez and the cash trade in I only put what I had originally intended in to the deal. So all round happiness .
So all wood Faith Parlour. very happy playing it, the Epiphone LP, probably played the least but fun through a Fender LT25 amp , Sigma solid top classical, very nice sound and ticks the boxes for my classical learnings, all wood Alvarez OM a definite step up in quality for me. On a par with the Faith Naked Mercury parlour.
So hopefully that's all bases covered and that itch is finally scratched. Next step up would be a big step in guitar and budget and I don't see myself going there.
Are those the famous last words. Don't think so this time.
