I just have to show it off every once and a while. I've been collecting them since 1962.
Presumptious but here's my Guitar collection

Thanks, The oldest one in this picture is the 64 gretsch fifth from the left on the sofa. I bought it when the Beatles first hit the scene.

Look like you've taken great care care of them or do you restore them?

Actually I worked for a music store for 8 years. I taught lessons, sold instruments and repaired guitars. The black one, fourth from the left is one of 6 guitars I built back in the 70's. I take guitar playing seriously. After more than 40 years of playing, I still practice at least an hour a day. Along with a half hour practice on the drums.

I had finally got enough cash together to buy myself a Yamaha mo6 today and i cannot get one anywhere and the stores that said they had them do not have any in stock,yet they still say they do at their sites,they tried to convince me to buy one and wait for them to get them in stock from Yamaha,luckily for me i happen to know that Yamaha has discontinued them and that they will never get any stock.
I was seriously dismayed at how many stores tried to get me to part with my 600 quid knowing that they could not get them anymore,i suppose once they've got my money though getting a refund is a pain so many people would just buy a more expensive item.
Ive decided to try to get a second hand one instead,i will never spend one more penny at any of these company's.
Ive played keyboards for about 20 years now but i only have a computer music setup and a basic midi keyboard at the moment so i was hoping to get some more serious hardware.
The mo6 has some really good expressive guitar sounds but it seems like i will have to wait even longer.
Being poor sucks
Do you have a music website CrazyChester?

I love Gibsons I have the 66 SG you mentioned (Which I play at all of my gigs) and the Blond ES 175, fourth from the right on the sofa. I used to have a Les Paul Custom but sold it due to the weight. After 4 hours of playing that monster my shoulder and back were a wreck.

I Love Yamaha gear. I use a Yamaha 4416 recording workstation for live recording it has worked flawlessly for 5 years. For my studio I use a MacIntosh/Logic Pro combination. My first keyboard was a Yamaha. Right now I'm using a Roland XP80 and a Roland U20 for keyboards but I'm shopping for a Nord.

Just some idiot
I hear ya, I got rid of my les paul and got a ESP LTD EC-1000, I love it. Sounds pretty good and it's lightweight....not a huge ESP guy but I love that guitar.

Ibanez quality is hard to beat. I used to sell them at a music store. They came perfectly setup every time. I'd like to have a 7 string.
If you like Ibanez you might try a Parker Fly. Very similar neck profile to the Wide thin Ibanez. But it weighs only 4.5 lbs. and has a Fishman Piezo pickup as well.
