I’m sure they won’t be cheap! I’d never be able to buy car parts again!

Besides 15 is probably enough...maybe

 

[slimt]

Yup. I collect. But not rich enough to indulge in Gilmour guitars.​

Yeah I collect but mostly oddball fenders from the 60s, it would be cool to have one of his but I'm sure you will pay dearly for them.

Does one guitar count as a collection....

I have a Brian May Signature Electric Guitar and VOX amp.

I'd bet there's a decent backstory to many of them.....

I have a couple fenders from the 60's myself.... a left and a right on my '67 Coronet!

This woman is on trial for beating her husband to death with his guitar collection.

The judge says, "First offender?"

She says, "No, first a Gibson, then a Fender!"

Yea gotta start somewhere, and there's always the #1 in a collection!!

I designed and built this one in my basement shop, from scratch. I hadn't completed the fretwork and bridge carving in this photo. Took WAAAAY too long and I lost several crucial hairs on my head. One every 4-5 years is about all I can muster.

Not as fancy as Danny’s but was a pain in the butt to build and get playing! But now it’s one of my favorites and sounds like a beast.. I just had to build it..

Looks great! No matter what type you build, it takes an amazing amount of patience and attention to detail. Really good job, Xp.

Early Fender Jag and a Chet Atkins Gibson. I sold them on ebay about 10 years ago for an outrageous price and I really regret it now. I just thought I was getting old and didn't even need the money at the time. BUY, DON'T SELL unless it's to me.

 

[Xp29h]

Thanks! That inlay is incredible! Youre right on patience. Ive messed with some old acoustic “projects”. Not my cup of tea. What you’ve done is awesome!

The detail and photos of the original 5150 (or 1 of the originals) were hard to duplicate because all were just a little different. Hard to believe with Ed. But i think i got pretty close. What I was going for was playability. That came well after it was built! Lot of tinkering after that..

I have 6 Velenos. Wait, no, I just wish I did.

Had a 1966 cherry red Gibson SG for years . . .

This is not mine - but it looked like this . . .

Bought it for $200 . . . many, many years ago . . . After graduating from college, I was no longer playing ( no time ) . . . sold it for $800 . . .

Can't complain . . .

Yes I collect and have since the 90's.
I have an original 1952 telecaster (not a reissue); original '58 strat, 59 jazzmaster; 62 jaguar; 63 candy apple red strat, and 64 lake placid blue strat that I've owned since the late 70's. Vintage Marshall heads & cabs too. Love 'em. Play 'em. I also build guitars and amps for myself.

 

[Cman]

You can't just have one guitar can you ?
Just picked this up as well, (I haven't owned up to the Wife about this one yet)

And there's a Thinline Tele kit I'm building up with P90's...
