Organized my guitar room

[fordsho90]

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.

How in the hell did you come to that conclusion??? NO WHERE did I say ANYTHING about Trace's finacial status or make an ASSumtion about his house not being paid off. Some one asked ME what I was into and it had NOTHING to do with him or HIS finances. I didnt "project my lifes situation" on someone else cause my life situation is just fine thankyouverymuch.
God read the fucking post before chiming in with your two cents

I'm sorry. I apologize profusely from the bottom of my ASS!

So, uh... wanna race?

[slowhand66]

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

Forget the other room, I just want to see down the hallway

The best collection I've ever seen, and the detailed history of these guitars on your site is amazing and educational. Thanks, Trace!

[beachjammer]

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..

WOW! Fantastic! As much as I'd like to have a shot at owning some of those guitars one day it's nice to know that they're in the hands of someone that will cherish and take care of them for years to come as well as shares them with everyone else... Like us :O)

I love looking at this stuff, its a J/C Forum where I would think most others would enjoy seeing them too. Whether you can or can't play them all is irrelevant. If you get satisfaction out of looking at them great, if you get satisfaction out of playing all or some of them thats great too. I personally LOVE the collection of Charvels posted and hope to see more as Trace adds them. My moto is that I'm always just one J/C shy of having the perfect number of them in my collection
BTW, I have an SL2H that looks like the same color as the purple burst Charvel. Its hang tag says its Ultra Violet Burst. Perhaps thats the official color designation for Trace's Charvel as well?
Nice collection Trace!

How many is too many?? Easy... What you have + 2 = room for one more.....

[tcwil8]

IMO these Charvels are worthy of being called art and have historical significance in the world of music. Not all collectors would share their collections in photos or on a website. At JCF, one would think we are the perfect audience for appreciating this kind of a collection. With that said, I appreciate Trace’s efforts to share your awesome collection.

Thats an easy question to answer. There is no such thing as too many Jacksons or Charvels, there is always room for one more. Two more is even better, etc...

Doesn't this moto apply to everything except wives? HA HA!

[Incster]

The jumping jack is awsome.

BTW, nice guitars.

Super-nice guitars, indeed. Now if your wife allows you to crank that EVH stack up, I officially envy you.

Very true Keith!

[wilkinsi]

So, if this is the Charvel room..... where are the photos of the Jackson room?:idea:

[TexasRocks]

AWESOME collection. I really appreciate who you know what you have, and aren't afraid of acquiring another piece of the collection. There are oh, about a dozen guitars in your collection that I would kill for.

[Venomboy]

Nice stuff man.

Pay no attention to the haters.

There's a million guitar porn threads on this site. Yours is a full on gynecological exam!

I don't care if you play them or not. You have history in your house and you're sharing it with all of us. Thanks.

I'll take the Phil Collen Explorer, please
