  • Does anyone else have umpteen guitars and a ton of half finished projects??

    In my recent days I have been liquidating a ton of my axes. I need some cash freed up and I felt that some of the liquidation would help me with that.

    What I have found is kinda funny as well. So far I have come across at least 8 projects or half finshed shottily wired whatever axes that I havent touched in 3-5 years. Its kinda pathetic honestly. We move for the military and I just started labeling and boxing my HSC's with the guitars in them. So I have many of my axes still in shipping boxes from the last move.

    I came acrossed 2 wardrobe boxes that I apparently never even opened from the move prior to Colorado.

    These are all projects mainly but a few smokin axes. To be fair I had over 40 at the highpoint and with the pawnshops in Colorado I built a collection..Or I hoarded I dont know which...

    In the last 3 days I found...

    Near Mint RR1T
    80s Dimas Plate Dinky reverse in OHSC
    Rhoads Pro in need of serious wiring
    Jem DBK in pieces
    Ibanez RGT42 that I had started to do a petrucci graphic on and never finished
    Kramer Pacer body that I did the rising sun on
    Random strat body??
    Jtx Project
    and innumerable parts and pieces

    I think this liquidation is a good thing... I still have more boxes to go...

      I have around 40 axes. I have an 86 Model 4 project that can be completed, and Aria Pro II paint project going on 20 years, an unfinished ESP M-1 project from when I bought it at NAMM in 1989. That's about it.

            Yeah, I have been getting rid of more stuff than I've been buying lately. Spare parts I "was going to use" to build another guitar someday, taking some "projects" and slapping them together so I can sell them, etc.

            Mainly realizing I don't have time to do this and I'd rather focus on playing the guitars I already have.

              I like to only have great playing and sounding guitars around me. Life is too short for junky guitars.

                        It may Fender its on the list of ones that may go. Itll be a couple weeks before I get to any decision on that one. I have a few others that I am going to work on unloading first IF I even decide to offload the Jem

                        Its a lil rough around the edges.

                              Yeah! That'd be awesome! You'd have to ID whatever got pulled out of the closet!
