That's a lot of gear

Saw this on my local Craigslist this morning. Not a descriptive ad at all, but the collection looks impressive. I initially thought it was a music store, but it looks like somebody's basement.

Damn! Looks like someone should have gotten a better divorce lawyer.

Damn, too bad that wasn't listed before Heelstock. We could have headed over there after atomic

I see 15 Teles and few guitars that might also be Teles. I like Teles.

Sorry there's at least 18 Teles in that pic, possibly one or two more. Lots of Teles. I still like Teles.

Seriously.

Hot damn! Too bad Gaithersburg is such a haul from Richmond.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Shit, did a recount...19 Teles.

I live so close, but have NO money. I want more Teles, this person's got a bunch to sell, why is life such a cruel mistress?!? WHY??!!

I'm sorry, but you need to go into crippling debt and buy them. It's for the good of the forum.

Already there and we don't even own a home...

Kind of reminds me of Bbreaker's collection over on HC, although not quite as big as his was.

Yeah, but these look like relatively new pictures. Not re-scanned pics from 1998.

That's a serious case of hoarding. Close to where I live, but I'm all set on gear and facing yet another company reorganization.

I wonder how long until a potential "buyer" comes back at night and breaks in.
Hope the guy isnt having craigslist strangers over to the house unless he lives in Fort Knox

Sfaik Lou still has most, maybe all of those guitars. He still posts on thegearpage.net and elsewhere.

Wow, that's an impressive amount of gear.....and I would imagine a nonspecific ad like that is going to get a ton of tire kickers and a hard way to get the right buyers

Exactly. There are no specific items or prices listed. The ad doesn't mention guitars at all, yet the photo shows a slew of them. The ad has a phone number to call. I thought about seeing what he had, but I'd be just another tire-kicker. Not really looking for anything right now and I suspect his prices won't be cheap.

I was wondering about that too.

Threads like this should be posted more often. It makes me feel better about my addiction because I am clearly not in the same realm.
