No matter if you are starting out, or a professional, musicians love musical instruments. It is not uncommon for a guitarist or bassist to have many guitars and basses. Each guitar has a unique set of characteristics that make them unique. When playing or writing, these unique differences lend themselves to different sounds and thus – different types of songs. Certain types of guitars make special sounds using their electronics, pickups and the type of wood tye are made from.
This can lead to the same song sounding completely different when played on another guitar. This often is enough inspiration for a musician to develop a new sound, or their own “sound”. Thus, the reason musicians have many guitars.
The very same way a guitar is unique, also holds true to drum sets, and microphones, and amplifiers. To each his own!
