I am not a collector, I am a player! And I am a cheap bastard
I am both a player and a collector.
I think my playing stands in a class all its own. So, anyone trying to use collector as a derogatory term (with regards to me) would be pretty silly looking. I collect because I can. Even before I was a man of means, I collected. I'd save up my money to buy guitars and associated gear.
I'm pretty interested to find out what I have in storage. I don't actually know what's in storage. They're all guitars I owned before moving to Maine.
But, there was a brief period of time where I had money but had not yet moved to Maine. I bought some guitars during that period.
Plus, there are all (well, not all - but quite a few) of the guitars I purchased between 1968 and 2007.
That's a lot of guitars... I suspect some of 'em are worth a few bucks. I don't even really remember what's in there.
There's also a bunch of associated kit. So, I haven't got a fuckin' clue what all is in there. They should start showing up next week.
LOL Now would be a good time for you to be local. You'd likely inherit a guitar or three as I went through what I have and what I really don't need to keep. I won't sell any of them, but I may give a few away.
Hell yeah your playing stands in a class of its own, awesome! tremendous! stupendous! Excellent amazing!
I wish I was local! I would love another guitar! They all have their own songs they want to share!
You can never have too many guitars. You can only have too little space - and too many whiny people in your life.
I've had girlfriends who tried to make me sell my guitars. I've had a couple that tried to do the "It's me or them" thing.
You can see how that ended up.
