Organized my guitar room

[guitarbumb]

All i can say is wow..... i thought my collection was impressive but its a mere 20 cheaper model jacksons

what's the story with the black and yellow EVH guitars? are they just customs? or is there more to them?

Not to speak for Tracey, but I believe he has a mix of pre-pro, serialized and recent EVH guitars. I showed my wife these pics saying if I had the scratch to do it I would have this many. She gave the requisite “hey if we could afford it”, but I think she would feel differently if it were a reality. She looked at all the pics and actually picked out the black and yellow EVH. For someone that listened to Wham in Jr. High I was impressed that she new it out of all of them.

gtrbuyer you are an inspiration to us all

but i think my favorite of your collection is the blue quilt 2H strathead.. i think it was pre-pro?

[gtrbuyer]

the 3 b/y are all early serialized Charvels. The only "new" EVH I have is a b/w and sadly no prepro yet....lol

thanks again all

[Chubtone]

Yeah Trace.... AWESOME.

I think it's funny when people see something that someone else has and project their life situation onto that other person and then deem that other persons choices to have that much gear as excessive.

I don't know that much about Trace but I do know that those guitars have not dropped in value as much as the stock market and retirement accounts in the past few years. Excessive collection or smart financial decision?

I don't know much about Trace but to say I would rather have my house paid off than have that many guitars is making the assumption that Trace's house isn't already paid off. Maybe it already is. Maybe his accountant has advised him not to pay off the house because he needs the write-off.

I don't know much about Trace but I know there are lot's of guys making $25k a year that have $2500 dollar guitars. And if we want to include cars there are TONS of people making $40k a year driving $35k cars. What's more excessive, the $35k car to that person or a Jay Leno's collection in relation to Jay Leno's money? Maybe Trace is an inventor or a lawyer. Maybe he is a brain surgeon or orthodontist. Maybe he owns a successful construction company. Maybe he won the lotto. Maybe him having $200k worth of guitars is less of an investment in guitars in his financial situation than someone else having $4k worth of guitars. Maybe the guy with $4k in gear has spent a much more excessive amount of his available money on guitars.

I sit back and look at Trace's Charvel collection and APPRECIATE that he is sharing them with us, fellow Charvel freaks on a freaking Charvel forum. I'd rather see them all in one thread than have to read 35 different threads with 2 guitars per thread.

What's it cost to change strings Trace?


As always, fucking stunning.

Thanks for sharing.

You have reintroduced the concept of jealousy to many.

Wait - "ONE of my guitar rooms"?! We want pix of the OTHERS!

[Harmonious]

Thanks for sharing, I loved looking at your collection. Keep 'em coming...

Just out of curiousity, how many Charvel guitars do you own? Are all the ones on your USACHAVELS website currently your or are some of them ones you previously owned and some belong to friends?

Stunning collection! You need to open a museum! HA HA! Thanks for sharing!

[Larz]

What is your address?

they are all mine except for 4 that I have since sold back to their previous owners

I have 127 Charvels and about 210 guitars total...

I will be updating my website over next several months..

Very nice collection. I'm not sure what all the controversy is about. :think: Buy a Cuda and you've sunk more cash than had you accumulated a roomful of Charvels. My biggest concern is that I don't see a pink and black bullseye!

The board on that Candy Cane is insane, btw.

+1 Excellent post. Fuck the haters, gtrbuyer, your collection rules. I for one am glad you choose to share it. And I totally agree with those who have expressed this sentiment...

Those are the pictures you show your wife or girlfriend when she says "You have too many guitars" - and politely say, "no - I only have a small collection - it could be like this"...

Seriously - awesome collection! I take it you have another room somewhere with a massive pile of cases?

I mean, I'm currently single, but saving these pics for the next girl in the future that says "You have too many guitars"!

[bibz]

Amazing stuff man, great room! Like G that bound red tele stuck out like dogs balls to me hehe!

My family has a fair amount of guitars (50+) and we always TALK about setting up areas like this somewhere, but to actually have it is awesome! And inspiring, thank you!

Christ I wish people not into something would have the decency to shutup and fuck off. 'Oh the title tricked me' then dont be a stupid noob who doesnt know what awesomeness a gtrbuyer thread is and fuck off back to the 'I whine about my family and our holidays' forum

[fusionhh]

Wow

HOLY SHIT !! I have never seen anything like this,,,WOW
