Had more, want more.Like my old school reports ...Could do better/Always room for improvement.

I've got a les paul, a tele, a strat, a white falcon, and a Ric 450.

I currently have an even dozen, but no Rics. I'm looking forward to bringing a Ric 360/12 into the fold this year, even though I certainly have enough to play already:

Gibsons
19. 2006 Gibson LP Junior in Tobacco Sunburs (please buy this one from me; clean, light, looks and plays great, with new gig bag, $600.
20. 2011 Gibson LP Junior in TV Yellow (not for sale). . . . thinking about mounting an Accent VB on this one. Thoughts?

Voxes. . . er . . .the proper Latin is actually Voces, but . .
21. 1967 Tobacco Sunburst Teardrop hollowbody 12 string (also for sale, sounds, looks, and plays great, even has original vibrato and case!: $1500.
22. 1967 Trans-Red Teardrop hollowbody 12 string (not for sale)

Silvertone
23. 196tysomething Silvertone guitar with the amp in the case.

Clearly, I have a general case of G.A.S., and a specific case of R.A.S. . . .
I can't even blame the RRF; I already had five Ricks when I joined, and I can't blame the RRF for the two Gibsons. . .
I am really not a fan of the tobacco sunburst guitars, so if anyone's interested, email me. If I can sell both of them, I can buy a Les Paul Standard or somethingorother cool I can stick a whammy bar on, or another WB. . . . Cheers.

I have pared down the collection in recent years but I still have five going on six:

6- string - Acoustic - Factory - 730S Shilo (Dreadnought)
12-string Acouctic PW - 730L (Dreadnought)

6-String 380L/PZ
12-String 380L Custom (12 String Conversion with Custom Burst, Gloss Finish, Humbuckers & Piezo Under Saddle Pickup and Two Discrete Outputs)

A meld of a Telecaster body with a '63 Strat neck known as The Storyboard Guitar as The Palauan Breadfruit Tree Story is carved on it by master carver Francisco Sbal (electronics need a bit of work at this stage)

Soon to come on board is a: (Drum roll pulleeez) 330W/6 string.

Wish I had more time to play them.

That's what my wife tells me...

Though to be fair to her I do have quite a few....

Well the first mistake is letting her count them!

She counts better than me.....

One. My Jetglo 330. It's all I need

Yep, I'm just going to stay out of this............

'74 4000 White (whose 40th birthday is in December!)
'04 Cii 4004 MG
'04 Laredo 4004 Custom FG 4002v57
'90's Fernandes Gravity 8-string (my "guitar" these days)
Carvin AC 40 fretless

I am quite happy with the current line-up. Every bass has a unique tone,and i try to vary it up with them as much as possible.

I have around 70 guitars and basses.
