Has your quiff flopped forward into your eyes?

:lol:

Certainly an most enviable situation to be in : although for me it is more about having that amount of 'disposable' income to pick your own flavour of gear, as opposed to having a house full of 'Big hair' guitars. I do not have 'Big hair', but those photographs made me feel better about my own spending. :)

Post by: Philly Q on February 13, 2010, 10:38:04 AM: Putting aside the fact that they're all hair metal guitars, I don't know whether I think (a) that's awesome or (b) what a bunch of dorks we are for wasting so much money on things which we really won't even use.

You are quite right Philly ; Soaps, shampoo, bathroom cleaner e.t.c. Why ?

Oh, I do use soap. And some of us still have need for shampoo. But bathroom cleaner, you're dead right.

A lot cheaper than a Charvel superstrat with a cheesy blood-spatter graphic, it must be said. :wink:

Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: HTH AMPS on February 13, 2010, 12:55:38 PM: I think that takes the award for 'most tasteless guitar collection', no contest.

It is refreshing though that the owner of that collection is doing his own thing regardless of whats cool or popular - kudos!

Post by: dave_mc on February 13, 2010, 01:12:06 PM: not too sure about the guitar to amp ratio, there....

EDIT: have to stick up for the guitars, though, i love hair metal guitars. Personally if i had that many guitars, I'd have a few more "classic" models as well, but they're his guitars and his choice...
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: choucas09 on February 13, 2010, 01:30:56 PM: They're not my type of guitar, but I love to see such self indulgence. Scott Chinery ruled on that one.
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: Lukie on February 13, 2010, 01:43:25 PM: That looks like Paul Gilbert's house! Often mistaken for a guitar shop from the inside.

Post by: AndyR on February 13, 2010, 02:26:27 PM: Are they all Charvels?

It might be the light, but that strat or whatever it is next to the amp looks utterly horrid :lol:

"Let's have a battered strat as well, now how do I relic it? :?: Well... someone told me that if you have ten pints of lager and a curry, then throw up on your car, YOU MUST CLEAN IT OFF BEFORE THE MORNING, otherwise it strips the paint in hours... :idea: Hey! That sounds like a good idea for a project I have going... :twisted:"

Post by: Jonny on February 13, 2010, 04:15:00 PM: I quite like the Rising Sun one but that's it really.
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: Nadz1lla on February 13, 2010, 04:25:00 PM: If he wraps them all in anti-static plastic, bubble wrap, and boxes them up, he could put those away somewhere safe for 30 years and then sell them for a mint as a collection later on. In terms of investment, I think he might be on to something there. As for the guitars themselves though, SO not my taste. But as they say, one man's pleasure is another man's pain, so kudos to him for indulging his fantasies there. :)

That one appeals to me too but mainly because I remember Warren De'Martini from Ratt playing one \m/ :guitar4: :guitar4: :guitar4: :guitar4:

Mostly US Charvels I think, there are a few GMWs in there, I also see aHamer, a Suhr and BC Rich if I'm not mistaken.

Also I think that's just one of the rooms.

Post by: dheim on February 13, 2010, 05:52:38 PM: god, that's sick!
i only like the natural finish superstrat and of course the les paul, though...
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: Will on February 13, 2010, 09:51:22 PM: Theres also the Gibson, and the Ibanez destroyer - I think its a Phil Collen model
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: Ratrod on February 14, 2010, 11:52:15 AM: Floyds or Kahlers on Les Pauls, that's so wrong.
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: Roobubba on February 14, 2010, 10:52:16 PM: Never thought I'd say this, but:

more guitars than PhilKing??

PS that tele is such an eyesore, which is saying a LOT given the horridness of many of the guitars there :D

I can only spot one guitar. A red Telecaster.

If you want to see a huge collection of Telecasters, check out

a) Billy Gibbons collection

b) Someone called Ajay on the TDPRI who lives in Aus and has walls full of almost every different model, style, colour, year and country of origin Fender Teles.

Or John 5. He's got loads.

Post by: MDV on February 23, 2010, 09:38:52 PM: Its just lots of pics of the same 30 or so guitars. I'm pretty sure Tim has more than that and I KNOW philking does.

Its still lots of guitars of course, but all the different angles and pics of the same ones make it seem more, I think.
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: Philly Q on February 23, 2010, 10:25:48 PM: There is repetition in the photos, but there are 60+ guitars there. There are 30 just lined up in the racks.
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: shobet on February 23, 2010, 10:42:37 PM: I think he has around a 130 Charvels and just shy of 200 if you look at the individual guitars on his site.

http://www.usacharvels.com/charvels.htm

http://www.usacharvels.com/noncharvels.htm

A lot of it is a bit garish for my taste but as a collection I think it's fantastic.
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: MDV on February 23, 2010, 10:47:07 PM: I sit corrected

Thats a lot of guitars.
Title: Re: Next time your other half gives you grief for owning too many guitars
Post by: CJ on February 23, 2010, 10:48:16 PM: i think those are all awesome! he's obviously a fan of charvel guitars, and that's the type of guitars they make... so of course he's going to have a huge hair metal guitar collection.
