Here's my small and humble familia. Its sort of like a trailer park with a Mercedes (Gretsch) parked out front :-). Left to right 12 string Ovation, Silvertone Archtop (1957-1962 not sure which year), Gretsch Powerjet, Gibson Les Paul Special. I sold a number of guitars before I bought the Power Jet (Tele, Strat). The amps are 2 x Silvertone 1484's, Silvertone Cab I'm restoring, Magnatone M-14, Modded Mesa Rectoverb II, Silvertone 1482 (not pictured 78 Fender Twin Reverb and a 1948-1952 Gibson BR-6).

I've got 21 guitars and three basses. It's nothing compared to Jazzbo's collection, but I think it's too many. My apartment isn't big enough to get them all into one room, so I won't be photographing them all at once any time soon. I'm planning to get rid of six of the guitars, but it's not easy.

Here's a small group that I use regularly.

Mitch said: when was that 6120n with the sharp cutaway discontinued?
I think they left the lineup in 2003 but I wouldn't swear to it.

Probably within minutes of taking this picture.

That Les Paul is nothing to sneeze at either.

What's the archtop?

Its a good instrument for the price. I love the P-90's in it but it plays like a budget Gibson.

Mark your collection is outstanding. I like the variety.

Seadevil - nice tele's and that Country Club looks clean, clean, and cleaner... very nice.

The CC's not so clean any more. It developed a weird depression in the top that looked like a crack, but wasn't. I was picking up a drill with a buffer wheel on it to see if I could make it less visible and dropped an arbor for a grinding wheel on it. Ding!

Dings on poly are truly hideous. I went to the local automotive store and got some very-nearly identical touch-up paint and filled it in. It's still visible, but not nearly as ugly as the frosted gouge it once was.

What's funny is that I kind of like it better now. It feels "broken in".

The "one that got away" was a Les Paul Special I had 30 years ago. I just loved that guitar.

Thanks for the compliments on the collection. a lot of it was blind chance, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and got some great deals.
