Title: Major GAS attack
Post by: Ian Price on February 15, 2008, 11:36:01 PM: I think this guy had one (or several):

Surely they can't all be his. There's more when you get to the bottom - click on the Non Ibanez guitars and you'll see what I mean.

Post by: Lazy_McDoesnothing on February 15, 2008, 11:49:05 PM: They are all his. Or at least were at some point. I'm a member of the ibanez forum. Then there's that other guy rob that has a huge collection too. Lucky dudes...

Post by: Nadz1lla on February 16, 2008, 01:10:00 AM: Ugh...now I am a BC Rich fan but even I steered well clear of the Bodyart collection...this guy owns them all! I think he probably collected them for collecting's sake, as they are clearly very poo to look at. :lol:

Some body art works though, as can be seen on those Giger Ibanez editions.

They just love guitars and caught the collecting bug. If they have the means to do so then more power to them. Both real standup, respectful, classy guys.

Ever see pics of people that have roomfulls of Les Pauls? Same thing only different!

Post by: Simon D on February 16, 2008, 12:53:00 PM: How the hell does he store them all? There must be upwards of 150 guitars there!

Post by: hunter on February 16, 2008, 02:24:58 PM: hmm, just wondering how often he is searching a specific guitar and cannot find it ... or by accident buys duplicates (lol) ... or how much he will spend on strings per month?

But yeah, better buy 200 Ibanezs than a Ferrari or sth ...

+1 in my opinion

But for a black JEM with monkey grip, reverse head stock and green pickups/knobs I would get weak too ...

But I wonder if he realises Dave has two of everything? :wink:

Having spent most of the day trying to decide if I can bear to sell a few guitars, I wonder if those guys ever sell anything? I guess not, unless they find a better example of the same model.
