WTF?
Dude!.....
a) Where do you keep them all?
b) Are you Donald Trump's son?
c) Are you single and if not, does your wife still let you in the door?

Kidding;)..nice collection. (I'm sure there's others)

My wife is accepting of my obsession, not a discouraging word has been spoke.

The secret is letting your gal in on the obsession, tell her when you see a rare Ball out there and how cool it would be for you to be the owner.

Or, say, this "the guitar collecting is nothing, I could be collecting rare 1960's muscle cars."

Or say....

SOMETHING, just don't let anything interfere wth your Ball obsession!

I gotta say that my favorites are the sparkles. I can't believe how sick the Stratus Blue is, or the Burnt Apple, or the Gremlin Green....okay, I think you get the point.

If I had to pick a non-sparkle finish, I think I would go with Egyptian Smoke, or Lava Pearl, both underestimated in my book.

Very sweet Ernie!! Do you maintain all those yourself or do you have a full-time guitar tech? Are they all played?

I just received my first JP in Sapphire Black from Pete and I can see where you're coming from. They are awesome guitars.

Awesome! I would love to get a Stratus Blue, Gremlin Green and Glacier Blue! Add me to the list I guess :D I imagine this forum wide "lust" did not exist for most prior to the colors being canceled/discontinued.

Got me a Lava Pearl on order with Pete that is probably about to roll out of the factory, cant wait!
