SteveFord Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 A motorcycle forum did one on bikes you've owned and I was surprised at how many passed through my hands over the years - I think somewhere in the 40s. Let's see how it is with guitars (asterisk means still owned): Yamaha classical No Name-O brand Fender Jazzmaster knock off with a gazillion switches Univox Les Paul 74 Gibson SG Standard red (just a great guitar) 61 or 62 Les Paul Jr red (SG style body) 76 ES 335 red trapeze tail piece 79 ES 335 wine red trapeze tail piece 25th Anniversary Les Paul antique sunburst mid 60s ES-125 blonde 81 Gibson Lucille Deluxe black 79 Les Paul TV Special tobacco sunburst P100s 2005 Les Paul Studio wine red * 2005 ES 335 satin red * 2007 GOTW Firebird zebrawood 2007 GOTW Explorer natural 2005 Firebird VII candy apple red 2007 SG Special satin yellow P90s 2005 SG Classic red P90s 2007 Les Paul Special double cut faded yellow P90s 2007 GOTW Les Paul Classic zebrawood 2007 Flying V faded cherry 2013 Firebird V tobacco sunburst 2008 Les Paul Special, P90s, ebony fret board TV yellow 2003 Lucille red * 90s Guild D4NT natural * ??

I wish I had kept them all but hopefully they're all still being enjoyed by the current owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 In 50 years, it started out with a Gibson SG Jr. in 1968, (my first and only 6 stringer). Then an EKO Bass in 1969. My first Gibson EB-0 in 1970. A lot of basses were bought, and sold, to end up with a 2018 Gibson SG Std. Bass, and an Epiphone EB-3 Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 I really enjoy seeing these lists. Maybe it's just age creeping up but for me it was a real trip down memory lane putting my list together. I was in High School when I owned this guitar and then I had to sell these to keep make the mortgage payments and then I bought this guitar when my wife was in the hospital so I serenaded her and the nurses with it and so on. A few more are destined to come my way so the list will grow by three, I think. Maybe four... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody78 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 oh hell no. This would take all night. Huh-Uh How many guitars do you roughly own now Rev? I thought I had a lot, but I bet you could quadruple my list at the very minimum! I always recall you have that beautiful wine red L4CES...that is one that has always been on my list of guitars to get someday. I'd still like a Super 400 and a '58 or '59 LP reissue too, but have curbed my guitar buying since last April (the last one I bought was a used SG Original).

Retired Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Gosh, I can't remember them all either. About 16-18 is all. I remember my Ovation Legend 12 string as a kid, most these were from the 60's and 70's. My Gretsch Silver Jet solid body, wish I had those back. Some red hollow body electric guitar, and a red and white American electric, a McCartney style 6 string of the bass he played, a electric Steel guitar, a Banjo, a couple other guitars I can't remember, Mitchell 12 string acoustic, a Fender 6 string acoustic. The ones I have now are, 2007 Gibson LP Gold Top Standard, a Oscar Schmidt 6 string Acoustic, Epiphone Black Standard 6 string, Gretsch 6 string V bar Stream Line electric, a Ovation Celebrity Plus Koa Burst Acoustic, a Epiphone custom Pelham Blue electric and a Squire Vintage Jaguar electric.
