Most of those guitar players made their name as a guitar "master" using a small amount of instruments, and only started collecting later. It was not uncommon for songs made with a single guitar to have paid for all the other instruments.
Sure, a lot of them continued breaking new ground after acquiring more instruments, but that was definitely not the source of the mastery, it was already there before the big collection started.
- manmal 3y agoRestricting yourself to even one guitar doesn’t mean you are playing only one instrument. Use a capo, tune it down, tune it up, remove two strings, play blindfolded, play behind your back, use it for strumming, beating, slapping, switch up picking styles, switch pickups, modify the neck, use different strings etc - these all change the instrument to a degree that you could call it a different one. I‘d wager that people who don’t do this _and_ don’t use different guitars will not reach what people call mastery.
