the sickening thing is that he probably has more than is included in that picture.

He's certainly got several new Ernie Ball/Music Man guitars, and there only seems to be one (maybe two?) in that picture.

I like those swirly-pattern Teles.  Can't remember the manufacturer's name.

The gold strat he had a fall out with Fender about is not in the pic I notice.

Ya think amongst all that junk he'd have at least one floyded, single 'bucker guitar and one high gain switcher. Peasant  :lol:

I'd go for the ES-5 just over his left shoulder.

Shame it's not a Switchmaster though......

He's nearly got as much gear as some of the L.P forum guys! Lol... I wonder how long it took to lay it out.  :lol:

He needs some SGs and Juniors, I think.  And a vintage Explorer.

Nice choice !   I'll 'make do' with the ES-175 behind it though. I hope he part exchanges it for a dark sunburst before he gives it away.   I was going to impishly enquire why there are no Henriksen, Polytone, Phil Jones , Roland JC-120, Fender ultralight or 'Jazzmasters'  in the backline ;  but I know Frank is going to say " Because he only buys real ( I.e. valve ) amplifiers" ...  :lol:

Lovely collection though, it would be great to browse through it, like a day in the museum.  :)

It's from:

The V on the front screen is hideous! 4 pups and a two tone neck with those silly shaped frets (can't remember the technical term for it)

Yeah, well spotted, there's something... it's got a headstock like an early BC Rich Warlock, and maybe an angled neck pickup?  
Some kind of custom, presumably.

Thanks Ian!  I don't think the V's hideous, but it's very weird!

Post by: WezV on February 19, 2010, 08:09:25 AM
nope, only one banjo .  the other is a banjo-mandolin - but not a banjolin which would have less strings

What a WASTE! he only ever plays a couple of gold tops! He should start a donation program giving them to needy guitarists :)

I'm afraid you've lost me there Philly!

Back on topic - I do like a lot of those guitars on show.
