I have one acoustic 6 string (my very first guitar) and one electric six string that is very special to me which I struggled to keep throughout years of hardship. I ended up having to sell all of my other instruments at one point or another just to survive.
It pains me to think about some of the guitars and basses I had to let go over the years, so I really feel for you there.
Aside from those two sixers (which I never ever play, ever) I now have six seven strings and six eight strings.
Having owned my very first eight string for less than a year I can safely say that for me there is a point of no return and I've passed it. I already came to the realization that 6's are out of the picture for me, and I am now playing my 7's less and less.
