Amazingly, a whole lot of budget stuff in there amongst the Ricks, the Gold Tops,the Gretsches, etc.

The red 360/12 BT is for sale. . . if I didn;t have to drop a grand on summer classes Image

Where the hell do you store that many guitars? Do you have toget a full-time tech to polish and feed them all?

Like this?

'03 4004Cii MG

It now sports all chrome hardware, toasters, VVT controls with vintage black knobs and a vintage TRC.

'67 4005WB JG

'73 4001 FG

I have since put the original pickgaurd back on the 4001 and it also now sports a V63 horseshoe!

That collector is a fraud!!! Look at the SS Stewart vintage Spanish acoustic archtop and compare it to the Washburn vintage Spanish acoustic archtop!

He has one less guitar than he claims to have. Not fair!

If you gave each one equal playing time, you'd need to restring what. . . every 5-6 years at worst?
Think of all the alternate tuning schemes you could experiment with. . .

Or if you wanted to tune them all up it would take an hour or two ...
