The following pictures, and that, will make us all laugh, be amazed but ultimately cry... and get GAS maybe.

I would say Billy Gibbons will have one of, if not THE largest collection of guitars and amps.  Rick Nielson of Cheap Trick too I would think.

Both of those guys will put Bonamassa to shame.

Any pics of their whole arsenal?

Never seen one.  Billy has buildings full of stuff by all accounts - loads of vintage Fender amps and guitars...

Doesn't Keith Richards allegedly have something like 3000+ guitars?

This was the first picture of mad rockstar GAS I ever saw:




Not quite as many as Bonamassa there, but on the other hand it's a '90s pic and I'm sure he's added a couple more since then. Then of course there are pages and pages of gear galleries on the Vai website as well.

I think we've seen that Joe B picture before, he must have quite a few more by now - including more of his own LP signature models in the new sunburst colour.

I hadn't heard of Keith Richards having 3000+ guitars, that sounds a bit extreme (unless that was just a "big" number plucked out of thin air?  :wink: ), but he certainly has a lot, as do Billy Gibbons and Rick Nielsen already mentioned.  Then there's Joe Perry, and Steve Howe, and John Entwistle (RIP).... I think some of those guys may have had clearouts over the years though.

Oh, and Phil King!  :P

I think it would be a bit depressing, to be honest Dave..... a monument to procrastination.  :(

The thing that gets me with both pictures is how many cherry sunburst and honeyburst LPs do you need? While I understand GAS as much as the next man, high multiples of the same guitar don't make sense to me.
Interesting to note the JP6 in JB's collection. Apparently he now has Lukes, Steve Morses and that custom doubleneck now as well.
