Ist post and a strange question!
G'day all from deepest darkest down under. I have joined the forum as I am a furniture maker looking to expand my skills and make a couple of guitars for my daughter. We got a few laying around the house which brings me to the question i have always wondered about.
If the collective noun for a group of crows is a murder, what would be the collective noun for a group of guitars? All I can think of is a fret of guitars but hoping someone can come up with something more exciting. Thanks Den aka the ZZRyder |

Welcome!
My brother is a surfer (I was once one, but that was long ago and far away, though I still have my wetsuit/board/racks). The term of venery for a multiplicity of surfboards (at least on the West Coast of the U.S., and at least in the late 1960s/1970s/1980s) was a "quiver" of boards. Like a quiver of arrows. Personally, I've always thought of having a group of guitars in the same way; i.e., as a "quiver." Just my take.

Welcome ZZRyder. The way I see it is like this. There are a good many guitarists on this site that suffer from GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome), so to my mind the collective noun for guitars would have to be an "acquisition of guitars" or maybe in an extreme case an "amassation of guitars"

Not a big fan of the term "quiver", but it IS what the strings do.  Quiver: Noun: 1. A slight trembling movement or sound, esp. one caused by a sudden strong emotion: "a quiver of fear". 2. An archer's case for holding arrows.

I consider all musical equip.to be of the female gender.Thus rendering
my bunch "The Shopping Spree" for my guitars,,And "the Blue light Special" for my amps.Then they each have individual names.
