I'm a collector at heart and am currently collecting W.R.Case & Sons pocket knives and Early american Copper coins just to name a couple. All those guitars look great and I bet they are a lot of fun to play. I have a friend who besides owning a Tattoo Shop also plays blues and rock guitar, has his own band that plays in bars and for private parties and owns over 30 guitars!!!

Bet he doesn't have an original '59 George Gobel like in my avatar. Rarest guitar I ever bought. BUT, I loved his collection!

My modest collection is even more modest due to my watch addiction.

You guys seem to know (or own at least :p) a lot about guitars, what kind would you recommend for a beginner ? Electric that is.

It really depends on what you want out of guitar. Many will say to learn on a cheapy guitar, but I'm from the camp of buying a modest guitar that you WANT to play. Otherwise, it will just sit there as you will be miserable while playing it. For the money, epiphone makes a nice modest guitar...change the pickups and you can get some really good sounds out of them.

Thanks for the info.

Found this; http://musikborsen.se/itempg.aspx?id=12752&artno=255699 it's a Les Paul Special (or so it says), with an amp and stuff at a rather low price.

I played guitar (acoustic) as a kid, but I've forgotten ALOT ! Thought it might be fun to try and learn again.

I see that Richard Gere sold his guitar collection yesterday for one million USD.

Roscoe, nice collection of guitars. It's your store, your collection. Who else's could it be? And I've never seen so many jubilee bracelets at one time in my life. Can I have one?

i wish i could apreciate guitars for what they are , but even though i cant , i love the look of the wood and the detail , like gunstocks and the likes , but that old amp is nice too.
the fire in the grain is stunning in the older stuff . as ever nice pics.
