  • Tough few months

    It's been a while since I have posted to this forum. The last few months life has handed me too many curveballs. Between my back problems which are getting worse, moving out of my apartment, and my job coming to an and I've been doing my best to get by. I have been going back-and-forth about selling off pieces of my vast collection. The last thing I thought I would ever do his part with one of my babies. As they say life happens though. So I'm on the fence about thinning the herd.

    Either way here's a bit of an update as to my collection. Both of my Kramer and Washburn guitars have left my collection. I finally got around to digging out more of my guitars and finally getting some photographs taken. I dug out some amazing stuff. I think last time I counted I'm down to around 35 guitars. These are the only ones I had time to dig out.















    I guess I will give you a rundown of what I have. We will start with the non-Charvels lol. 2 Fender HM strats, One in hot pink and one in blue stone marble. One Fender Hartfield Talon which is also a very amazing shade of blue. Next is a 1988 Westone Spectrum with the bendmaster trem. 2008 road worn faded black Gibson SG. Not a real big fan of this particular guitar just because I've never been fond of SG's. Next is an 85 DT155 Ibanez destroyer. This one is autographed on the back by Paul Stanley on the electronics cavity cover. I obtained this autograph in the mid 90s. This guitar has very incredible action but I wish it was the Phil Collen model.

    Next is my Jackson Dinky EVH Custom lol. This guitar has fantastic tone and the notes have A lot of personality. I outfitted this baby with a Kramer banana head stock neck.The neck is a 1984. It has an EVH D-Tuna. I did the paint job myself and I wanted it to look homebrew because I think it adds character. Now onto the good stuff. First are two of my favorites. Both are 89's. A midnight cobalt 750 XL and a red 650 XL. They are both in excellent condition and both fantastic players. Next is a 1987 model five. It too is all original and plays fantastic. Next is a red and black model three. This thing is damn near perfect. Even has all of the original case candy as well. It has been tucked away in my closet since about 1994. Last but not least is a 2002 model a plus.

    Anyhow I thought I would update you guys and show some more of what currently resides in my collection. I don't want to have to get rid of any of my babies but sometimes life gets in the way and were forced to do things we don't want to. I think the first things that I will get rid of is the SG and the 2 HM strats. What do you guys think?

    Nice looking group of guitars you have there. Always sucks to be forced to sell gear. Pass along what you're not bonding with and good luck holding onto the rest. Hope everything works out for you.

        Sorry to hear of your bad news. Hang in there and things will get better.
        Always tough to sell off guitars over necessity. What are you looking to get for
        the SG? Great collection, BTW!

          Thanks for all of your well wishes. As far as the SG goes I figured between 650 and $700. Of course I'm flexible. These pictures are only the tip of the iceberg. I have at least 20 more guitars that need to go. I know I can't play them all but it's hard parting with my kids LOL

                      I take great care of everything I own. I have four ruptured discs in my S5 L4 region. I have a fifth disc that is actually lodged sideways causing me a lot of discomfort. I have other things going on at the moment as well but I know that I will overcome them. Thanks again for all of your support.

                          Thought I would give you guys a brief update. I'm having some financial difficulties due to a recent job loss and my doctor not medically clearing me to go back to work. So if anybody is interested in an Ace Frehley LP Custom Epiphone, a cherry Gibson Flying V, a Chuck Schulldiner BC Rich, or a Washburn PS-2000 Paul Stanley please let me know.

                            I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on the forum. I have gotten rid of my cherry flying V and my BC Rich. I still have the Paul Stanley, a cherry Sunburst Kramer Striker, The Ace LP Custom, and a 1993 m5 Charvel.

                              How's the back? Are you a candidate for an XLIF procedure?
