Hey, wait a minute...what's wrong with that?

Yeah,what's wrong with that!

You know the whole counting others money and judging them is kind of counterproductive.....

I could never see myself going that extreme on the collecting end, like you ernie with so many, but like most guitar players I want a lot of guitars! So if it suits him, good for him.

If I were fabulously well-to-do, I'd do it fabulously.

This reminds me of the guy who goes into an art dealer and buys three Picasso paintings. The dealer says: "You are very strange. Why don't you just get one Picasso or one Picasso, a Matisse and a Van Gogh". The guy repies: "Well, I like Picasso".

there's a one man come to Picasso one day, he insists Picasso to signs one of his Picasso painting which he likes so much, after a little chat then Picasso asks him ' What's so special about this painting till you want me to sign it?'.. and he answers quickly 'Well to be honest, I just wondering if I've hanged it up side down..'


@ to that JP man collector, that was crazy ..good for him !!

On a street level, a collector is usually not a player and vice versa (forget about rock stars, they make up the smallest percentage of players). I dont begrudge him or anyone their possesions. If he buys well, they probably can provide a better return than most investments. Especially Les Pauls.

Me (even though I work a dayjob)...Im a player. I can only handle owning so much and I use what I own. I cant stand having 2 gtrs right now that I never touch but for sentimental reasons I cant part with them either.

I think Im a player and I have a nice collection of Collings acoustic guitars. It is really great when a bunch of pals come over and we switch around and I like them...can afford the...so I buy them jackies seen em in action

 

[pauldogx]

mmmmmmm...Colllings........those are some seroiusly sweet acoustics. Definitely on my lust list---and Lyle Lovett plays em'--how much more Texas can you get????

 

[joe web]

this is really a very nice collection of guitars and amps.

if i had that much guitars, i would have to buy my wife a Morgen Plus 8 or any other car like that.
we have a deal: the day i own 20 guitars and more, i´ll have to buy here a one of those old cabrios.....

 

[lenny]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little jealous. Makes want to quit college and blow 20 grand a year on gear instead of an education

But Dude its his EDUCATION that made hin a Doctor that has enabled him to buy all the gear STAY IN SCHOOL DUDE!
i am no means a doctor but i do alright for myself and i have 7 Different electric guitars a couple of Acoustics a Roland Digi piano Fiddles mandolins and several amps and around $30 grand invested BUT i had to make the $$$$ before i could spend it! Just a little advice from a 38 year old Forumite !
