While I would agree that most of what has been said already is TRUE, I really question how much of it is actually RELEVANT to your situation.What are peoples thoughts on playing more than one guitar, at least as a new player?
I think this largely depends on what your definition of "new player" is.
If you are a beginner, and learning the names of the notes of each string, and how to tune a guitar, and how to finger basic chords, etc, very little of it is relevant. At this stage, nobody is really playing much that can be considered music, and the nuances that one will come to appreciate later are way in the distance.
By saying "new player", maybe you already know how to play guitar and are new to playing blues? That may be an entirely different situation.
Additional information and context would be helpful in order to get meaningful advice.
