Who has the biggest guitar collection here ?

[charvelguy]

A real collector doesn't know his total number.

I am in that category...I don't even recall where some of them are at.

and a guy (Ron??) that has a cool BC Rich collection.

Needless to say guitars are very addicting....as for my website, I enjoy sharing the fine details and stories behind them. Mr sully (my webmaster) takes all my thoughts and babbling along with the pics I take and makes it loook good. Glad you guys enjoy my site.

----- That's gotta be "Ronz" the crazy Scottsman. He's one cool dude. Met him at NAMM 2 yrs in a row now.

gtrbuyer, I glanced at your site..... I'll need to schedule a few days to look it over more thoroughly! hehe!! Thanks for taking the time to share your collection for the rest of us to see.

I'm sure my collection is far from the biggest, but I'm at 14 guitars now.

Why the compulsive need to have so many guitars? It's not like you can play them all at once. Two or three seems fine but beyond that is just ridiculous.

Natural law here at JCF is that if you stick around long enough you too will begin to have massive GAS and you must buy more guitars...and then show them to the group...and the cycle continues...

Since the '80s, I've owned about 30 guitars. I've only owned 11 at one time. I've got 7 at the moment.

I've read about people who can play hundreds of guitars at one time. Not sure if this is a myth or not though.

Sorry... I was just trying to get to my 2000th post.

To add to your future retirement plan. Example, if you put $350 in a 5% yearly growth account, you'd have about $1100 in 25 years.
In 1981, I sold a 1972 blonde/maple fender Tele in great shape for $350. If I would have held on to it, look what I could've got:

That's like 8.6% compounded annually! What financial institution is gonna give you that growth?

Of course, you have to know which guitars to hold on to for 20-25 years. You wouldn't have much of a retirement if you hoarded Hondos :ROTF:

I have over 40 but I'm on a selling spree now to keep the piece !!! Yeah, I meant piece, if I don't sell some she'll cut it off !!! :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:
