As a recovering materialist, I can tell you that I have found much more satisfaction in having a small number of things that bring me long-term joy, as opposed to owning many things that bring me short-term or only small amounts of joy. My thought process is very unpopular around these parts, but....

I think I'm losing it - bought 3 guitars just this week
- Thread starter MakoMan

Must be a mini-pandemic; I've practically replaced my whole rig in the last three months, with an Ampeg 810 Heritage forthcoming.
I must be off as well!
I'm building a music room and flush on cash.
The build is exceeding The original estimate.
just ordered a bass from a local builder.
Not a pot to p@#$ in!

Nothing wrong with enjoying more than one style of instrument. My wishlist breakdown is about 70% Basses to 30% Guitars.
My only TalkBass Classifieds purchase so far, has been a cool 1980s
Guild X-88 Flying Star Motley Crue Special which I bought from @xnewyorka .

- I privately own and operate a local musical instument repair shop.
I haven't seen pics of these guitars yet. So up to this point, the entire thread is pure conjecture. 
I don't know, but I'm busy buying drum stuff.
p.s. Do you play guitar? Do you play with a guitarist?
Do you plan to?
Do you repair/upgrade for resale?
Did you find a great deal you know you could flip?
All valid reasons, imo.
Me too, bought two kits this week.
Don't get me started.
I like pretty much anything with strings. And there's nothing wrong with banging on a few drums now and again.

I usually have a six banger around. It's usually much better than me but I can't put stuff to paper. I write with it, then either record guitar and bass to hand out at practice or bring it, play the parts, then tell the guitarist to play that, but play it right 
and I do my thing on big guitar.
Besides, little guitars are sexy too. Not as much as big guitars mind you.

Currently in my stable
And about 6 microphones/stands, drum machine, keyboard, 24 track.

Learn major, minor, dominant and minor 7th barre chords with roots on the E and A strings. Get funky with the strumming pattern.. learn to play the root notes of the chords and the higher notes of the chords as separate entities akin to pieces of a drum kit. Learn to throw that pinky around for tastey little lead fills while holding a barred shape. Practice holding said barre chords at least 2-3 times a week or it will pretty much always hurt a little.
Justification. Those 4 barre chord shapes offer a world of fun, and the difference between the major/minor and 7/m7 chords is lifting one finger for the most part.

My guitar player once said; "Look at it this way. Some guys buy a $90,000 Corvette, and end up getting divorced because they slept with the younger receptionist/coworker during their mid life crisis phase. You just bought a couple of guitars. Your wife should be happy!"
