the current collection.

I'm guessing you don't have kids and/or married. :grin:

12 Les Pauls? If you don't mind me asking, but isn't that a bit redundant?

nice collection, Jello - i love that Washburn LP in particular!

on a different note: you sure you don't want to swap that couch pattern out for a little paisley? you might have to ditch grandma's pillows and that creepy potato stuffed in the filthy stained sack, but it might be worth it. what do you say? :wink:

I would run into a burning building to save that Washburn...I've been watching eBay for years hoping to find another one I can afford...

What creepy couch potato?

i have two beautiful young kids and a very accepting, patient wife. we live in a cardboard box, eat ramen noodles at every meal, have debt up to our eyeballs and have no savings or retirement funds, but it's all about priorities, right?

12 les pauls could be viewed by folks as redundant. that's ok. it's even worse than that when you factor in that most of my collection is comprised of dual-humbucker solid body guitars. truth is; i never much cared about having a collection that focused on variety. i buy what i like, what plays to my acceptable standard and what inspires me. sometimes that new inspiration comes from something as trivial as a finish color. but each one of those 12 les pauls is a freaking stellar instrument. i'm fortunate to have found them.

I resemble that remark plus two kids.

GreatDane and I are tortured souls. His love for Pauls is like my love for hybrid strats. Every piece that Dane owns is a beauty. I can't say that. I also refuse to admit just how many guitars that I actually own.

Also, Like GreatDane, every guitar that I own has a specific sound / purpose and if I do not play it then it goes on the chopping block for someone else to enjoy. I definitely have a few guitars that I would fight over but only 1 electric and 1 acoustic that I would run into a burning house to save.

That one electric is the only thing that my wife has ever admitted about being jealous of. She actually has referred to it as "The Mistress" for years.

I really love seeing the passion that Dane has for these pieces as it makes me look just a little more sane about the amount of pieces that I own.


Oh and...

"The Mistress" and her doppleganger clone

Cardboard box? You're lucky. I live in a hole in the side of the road. Every morning I have to get up and lick the road clean.
