Thanks Kevin, glad you like them. Not shown is a Fender Stratacoustic which is boxed up in the spare room.

This is my main player. I got it in about 1974 from my roommate in college, who bought it used in 1972, from Gruhn Guitars in Nashville, before they got so big and fancy. It’s a 1959 model, stamped “Made in Kalamazoo,” so early Gibson after they bought Epiphone, or very late Epiphone. I tore it up living and travelling in Central America 1977-1979, and then Gruhn fixed it up for me.

Very nice indeed!
Thank you for sharing.
I took up the guitar on my 50th birthday, never very good at it but throughly enjoyable. Over the years I ended up with around 50 guitars and my obsession was with early Japanese made guitars which are of incredible quality. I then branched out into modifying and repairing my own guitars. It was a hobby like my hifi and photography and helped release the stresses of everyday life. When I turned 70 I released that there were many guitars in my collection that hadn’t been played for many years so I have since embarked on selling a lot of them. I’m now down to a core of about 20 guitars but find that I’m not playing very much at all now but I will keep my existing collection. Lately I’ve been buying dacs and headphones to find my perfect digital system. It’s an absorbing hobby.

I am in love with the early and varied Japanese guitars myself, working on increasing my collection and just acquired a Tokai, Hondo, Yamaha and another Aria.
Photos to follow!
Its addictive!
Man you have problems 
Vinyl takes up far less space and is certainly less noticeable than a guitar hanging on the wall

True, but guitars are much prettier than albums (IMO)

Too late. Have avoided buying a PRS to ‘complete the collection’ for many years but that picture of a whole wall of them could just push me over the edge. Will take photos of my small collection shortly.

My daughter also has a pair of PRS with her in Hawaii.
I know one is a Mark Tremonte special.
