The Guitar Stable




OK, I'm obsessed. I thought I'd post a photo of most of my instruments. I forgot to include my banjo and my mandolin. I'll have to take another photo. I also included Dylan's drum set which is a pretty good little kit. He's sounding very good on them too I might add. This is down in the dungeon, I mean basement which has become my hangout. It was supposed to be for the kids but they would rather watch the little TV in Dylan's room than the larger 27" one down here. I have it set up nicely with heat for the winter and it's cooler in the summer too. I can come down here at night and out on headphones and play without disturbing anyone or I can play LOUD during the day and disturb everyone. It's nice to have that option.
On a side note, my scan looked pretty good. It's not totally conclusive but it appears that there may not be anything on the radar so maybe I can stop this treatments in the Fall when I finish the 6 month round (yea!) This is not an exact science so anything can happen but this is the most promising news I've had in 3 1/2 years.

Roll Call: (left to right)
Ibanez Artist (my brother's but it's up here so....)
Fender Stratocaster
Gurian Jumbo (nice handmade guitar. Very rare. James Taylor play them but somehow mine doesn't sound as good as his. I must have gotten a bad batch???)
Ovation Custom Balladeer
Guild Solid body Electric (a nice axe, had it since the 1960's. Needs new frets)
El Cheapo Classical (lying down in front - a fun guitar to play. I put a condenser pickup on it)

  • Wow! My dad has about the same collection on guitars. Some are worth some money...I have dibs in his will!

  • Most of mine are worth something, now huge bucks although the Gurian is probably worth 2 grand and the Ibanez is maybe 1.5k. I don't plan to sell any of them. I will have them made into my casket or something.

    JLee, if I ever get an extra one, it's yours. I play all of them and I think I'm getting the VW one next week. I'm getting an arm transplant so I'll have more arms to play more of them at once.
