Great collection!
But looks like he's more hooked on Gibsons and Fenders...Image

There's nothing wrong with Gibsons and Fenders. I have a few too. He has some gems though.

I love the feel & sound of a nice Strat, too. Ed, our guitarist, has a beauty of a G&L Strat with EMG's. Very nice, & a classic sound.

Right you are, Brian! The only really playable guitar we have at the moment is a Fender...
This guy has a great collection, IMO. Wonder how many years it took him to collect all of these gems... just drooling at his acoustics... [insert a right smiley here...]

Wow!! Serious collector huh??

If you go into his profile, and click on the "Allison Collins" link, you'll find that she has better taste in guitars.

The '58 ES350 is one of the prettiest guitars. Just beautiful.

Man, once he finds a colour he likes he certainly stays loyal!

Not sure why anyone would want 7 SG basses though

I wonder what the annual insurance tab for that collection (assuming he has it) is.

Also, why do people take photos of their guitars oriented upside down?
Listen to that sustain!

Player's view?
I played a short scale SG bass once & it sounded like amplified mud.

I counted 80 or so guitars? I'm guessing the average value is $8k? So I'd guess the insurance tab @ $3500/yr...?
