I don't own any guitars. by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #1 Mon Dec 12, 2011 at 05:03:20 PM EST

So I had to choose 3.

Wait by technician (4.00 / 1) #2 Mon Dec 12, 2011 at 06:28:10 PM EST

I voted wrong...forgot I had 2 electric guitars.

Forgetting the number of guitars you own is a bad sign, I think, but my response should be 6 and not 5.

Huh, what? by purr (2.00 / 0) #26 Fri Jan 27, 2012 at 06:26:11 PM EST

If you add 2 to 5, isn't that number suppose to be 7.?.??

Unless you meant to say, I have 2 quitars not just 1.

And not two.

"in your household" since I don't have any bicycles in my house, but I do have a couple in the garage.

Since I have a door from the house to the garage, I included the bicycles.

We should switch countries by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #6 Tue Dec 13, 2011 at 12:23:10 PM EST

Our garage is detached, with about six bikes and two motorcycles.

Does my Wii Guitar Hero Guitar count?

: forgot about those by LilFlightTest (2.00 / 0) #11 Tue Dec 13, 2011 at 11:28:24 PM EST

if the Guitar Hero controllers count, then I guess our answer would be 5.

counting trikes, bigwheels and the like ? by sasquatchan (4.00 / 1) #5 Tue Dec 13, 2011 at 10:19:52 AM EST

probably should have been 10 by iGrrrl (4.00 / 1) #7 Tue Dec 13, 2011 at 12:33:37 PM EST

The hollowbody Epiphone is on loan, the gutstring acoustic is at the condo on the Cape, as is the old fretless bass.

4 family bikes, including the recently re-energized Nishiki Pueblo I bought in 1988 and put many, many miles on and loaned to toxicfur for a while. At least 4 guitars counting my husband's two 5-string Tobias basses (fretted and fretless), my Norman, and the kids' guitar. Oh, and his fretted Fender bass.

Huh. Ours goes up to 11

other instruments by iGrrrl (2.00 / 0) #10 Tue Dec 13, 2011 at 09:41:04 PM EST

We can only add a ukelele and a trombone. There's a sax, too, but no one plays that, and I didn't think we were counting pianos.

Yay 11!

Since these polls hang around a while by FlightTest (4.00 / 1) #9 Tue Dec 13, 2011 at 07:15:21 PM EST

I included the bike I haven't bought yet, but will have by the time the poll changes, if history is any indication.

four by Merekat (2.00 / 0) #12 Wed Dec 14, 2011 at 10:28:59 AM EST

But no guitars.

ai... by bobdole (2.00 / 0) #13 Wed Dec 14, 2011 at 11:35:32 AM EST

7 by fluffy (2.00 / 0) #14 Thu Dec 15, 2011 at 04:12:34 PM EST

Fender Squier
Ibanez acoustic
Ovation 12-string
Epiphone something-or-other
Samick bass
Dahon Speed (folding bike)
Some piece of crap mountain bike I got at Target

I also have a ukulele, a cello, and two violins (not to mention probably a dozen other instruments) but I'm not sure that quite counts. No mandolin though. Yet.

6 by barooo (2.00 / 0) #15 Fri Dec 16, 2011 at 11:12:28 PM EST

the Geddy jazz bass, the prodigy electric, the dreadnaught, the giant sedona, the giant something-or-other, and the 80's schwinn cruiser. Would have been 7, but I sold a bass to mns a few years back.

man, i need a beefy taco now.

Do incomplete instruments count? by clock (2.00 / 0) #20 Sun Dec 18, 2011 at 07:11:00 PM EST

5 bikes.

Um. A lot of guitars. Don't judge me.

_{I agree with clock entirely --Kellnerin}

Crap by motty (2.00 / 0) #21 Tue Jan 03, 2012 at 06:37:28 AM EST

Meant 7, not 6. Forgot about the nylon string guitar. 8 if you count the uke.

No bikes.

Uke by Herring

(4.00 / 1) #22 Wed Jan 04, 2012 at 09:31:16 AM EST

I'd count a baritone uke as 0.667% of a guitar*. A "normal" uke isn't a guitar at all.

*For the person hanging around in the music shop waiting for his son's drumming exam to finish, that makes it far easy to play "Creep" on.

: Course it is by motty (2.00 / 0) #23 Wed Jan 04, 2012 at 11:54:23 PM EST

It's what happens when you accidentally put a normal nylon string guitar in the wash on a high heat. The whole thing shrinks, obviously, and the bottom two strings fall off, due to physics. Then the remaining strings get raised a fourth, except for the D, which gets raised an octave and a fourth, also due to physics. Not that I can play the thing, mind you.

My answer would have been 9 by littlestar (2.00 / 0) #24 Wed Jan 18, 2012 at 02:10:00 PM EST

But I didn't get to poll. I don't really understand why that would be, was someone in my house randomly filling out polls under my username? I can't imagine why or how. It must be aliens.
