wiggy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 When you look at the prices he's asking for the stuff he's considering/looking to sell he's certainly not out to make a killing. I'm trying to work out how to persuade the wife that one of those white Sheratons (not to everybody's taste I guess but I really want one) is an essential piece of expenditure. Mind you she hasn't seen the pups for the Tele project yet either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ef_in_fla Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not bad. Maybe when he grows up, he'll have a collection like this: LINK (Mostly Ibanez) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyushPresley Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 how many freaking rooms do these guys have to keep all of them ?? they are never gonna play those...better give some to the ones who actually need it than keep it and most of them don't even fetch enough money if you want to sell them ..ya looks like a illness to me too..

Gashole Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah' date=' and so many copies of quality originals he owns. It's kinda looking like some sort of illness to me. No, thanks.[/quote'] No doubt. Though, had I the resources, I'd be willing to see if it's a contagious illness. I could live with that kind of sickness...my wife; maybe not so much. So I guess it's for the best that I won't win the lottery. Still, he gives any of us married guys with 6 or 8 or 10 or a dozen guitars some good cover! My wife was so disgusted when I showed her that page that she's not nearly as convinced of my own mania anymore. Might be the right time to buy another guitar!

generation zero Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Odd' date=' he has some nice ones then a lot of crap. Jay Turser ? [/quote'] I used to have a Jay Turser... not quite Gibson or Epiphone quality, but far from "crap" IMO. Especially for the price... I think it was under $200 brand new. Chambered body, set neck... played decent. I really regret selling it, now that I think back. I halfway want to buy that goldtop Turser from the guy now...

wrighty3693 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 This is just beyond a joke and fairly appaling. Instead of buying so many guitars get a few nice ones. Two or three guitars you can play well are better than 50 you can't. Tone is mostly fingers who needs loads of guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emetry Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I really don't know how to respond to either of those collections. I mean, my THREE guitars give me a vast amout of styles I can play in, plus options for just plinking around. Granted, I do think there are 5 guitars everyone should own: A solid body electric A classical Arch-top (vintage or comprable) Hollowbody (yes I'm aware that, technically, an archtop is a hollowbody or semi) A semi That pretty much covers the options, but I'd say getting a varied array of styles is (to me anyway) more important that a bunch of a single style, like accumulating 10 electric solidbody pieces. Oh, and everyone should play a resonator at least once. Those are SO much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Some people (who are better qualified than most to comment) would argue that you just need the one... "I still never try to get too far away from acoustic guitar. I figure that one day, when they run out of electricity, I won't have to rely on feedback to keep the lick going. Usually I don't touch an electric guitar at home; I work basically on acoustic. For me it really pays off, especially with chords; the acoustic's much truer, and you can't rely on electronic tricks like sustain to make yourself sound flash. You've got to play it dead right, so I find it keeps me precise. I think every guitar player should take time out to play the acoustic, especially flamboyant guitar players." Keith Richards, 1985.

Emetry Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Some people (who are better qualified than most to comment) would argue that you just need the one... Likely true, but I like to experiment with different tones and styles. I like my acoustic, but there are just some fun tweaks I can't get from it.

tar_heel_blues Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Some people (who are better qualified than most to comment) would argue that you just need the one... Why do you treat what Keith Richards says with such reverence? Let's face it, this ain't Hendrix you're worshiping. It's a guy who's played the same few riffs on an open G tuned guitar since about 1973. You wanna know why the Stones sounded at their best in the early '70s? Answer: Mick Taylor.
