Hi there,
I'm a beginner but I don't know why, I started to buy a bunvh of guitars and now I've 5 ones !!
I'd already a very old Lespaul before going back to playing guitar, then I purchased a Yamaha pacifica 611, then a SG, then a telecaster and at least a stratocaster !!!
My home office looks like a reccording studio.
Is this just me or is it some kind of sickness of most of guitar players ?
I'm sorry my friend. You have GAS.
Guitar
Acquisition
Syndrome
Sometimes it metasizes/mutates into a full-blown Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Then your home office gets moved into the living room because you have too many guitars, amps, pedals, and other gear in your home office.

I went through a phase where I was buying gear like crazy. One day I realized that the gear was becoming more important then the fun of playing to me.
I have three guitars at the moment, more pedals than I can count, and a couple of amps, and I'm on a gear buying feeze.
I just enjoy playing much more when I'm not thinking about all the awsome guitars I want to own one day.
We've all been through that!
There was a moment when I started to feel bad for having so many guitars since I didn't play them all. Also, the need to change the strings every few months on each one stressed me out. Now I have 3, one for each of the genres/playing styles that I like, and it's better. If I want something new, I force myself to sell my old one for the same genre.
That's how I overcame GAS; thanks for coming to my TED talk š¤£
