Am I crazy buying 2 of the same guitar for different tunings?

[Jackillin]

Hey all,

I have an Ibanez AZ premium & I absolutely love it, I've have a couple other guitars, tried loads more but never found anything I like playing as much as this one & my others rarely get played, gonna sell my Fender.

This model has a trem & I have it setup for drop C tuning as I'm working on a lot of Metacore songs with my teacher. Getting fed up of comprising on poor intonation, bridge angle etc when I switch between standard tuning and drop C so much that I'm not practicing some of my fave old songs in standard so I'm considering buying another AZ - exactly the same model but in a different colour. Am I crazy? I have been looking for a hard tail version of an AZ but can't seem to find any of those in my price range....any leads?

No you are not.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

No, because I just did the same thing lol. There's nothing wrong with consistency.

You found a guitar you love and are asking about having a second for other music? Clearly yes.

 

[STRHelvete]

I have three of the same guitar, and honestly I'd have more if they came in different colors. They're all in the same tuning. I still want more...for the exact same goddamn tuning.

Two identical ( aside from the tops burl vs quilt) PRS guitars... exact specs otherwise. I keep em in same tune as well. The newer one I don't play hardly.. it's just there as a backup. I actually bought the second one in case anything un-fixable happened to the first one. It was a limited run so I figured I wouldn't be able to snag another one once discontinued... so buy two now heh!

Gonna say that a "Show your multiples of the same guitar" might be a cool thread

Oh what a great idea! The thought never crossed my mind to buy another of the same until today, I always think diversify. But it's a really good idea!

I have had at most three guitars at the same time, and they’ve all been in the same tuning.

I also own 2 of the exact same model an in same tuning, also because of backup, although their pickups are slightly different.

Regarding the "Show your multiples of the same guitar"... I guess @77zark77 would win it with his 9 Universes...

@Jackillin I'm not really sure we're a good adviser, I mean, we're all on a guitar forum where basically we advice each other on buying more gear... really, what were you expecting us to say, that getting a twin guitar is a bad idea?, hell no...

 

[ShredmasterD]

no. as long as they don't get jealous and make life difficult its a great idea.

For sure. Nothing fancy about these two but everything about em is just perfect for me comfort wise. Didn't want to risk not being able to get one again if my first one got stolen or severely damaged.

And of course a dedicated thread would just be an excuse for people to arrange a new themed photo-shoot lol but I'd love to see a buncha samesies in one place.

 

[MetalDestroyer]

I bought a guitar specifically for drop C

Yes please!

 

[Jackillin]

Thanks all! Def a thread with multiples sound fun!

 

[Stiman]

@Jackillin what AZ do you have? And if you got a second, is there another colour that it comes in?

 

[Thesius]

At one point I had 4 RG7620s in different tunings. If you like it why not

I have the AZ242f in Tequila Sunrise - got it at quite a big discount a couple of years ago and I'm looking at buying the AZ242 Poplar Burl in
Charcoal.
