Do I have a collection? Not depicted are in total five electrics (my wife's starter, her 93 Epi LP Custom, my starter, a Strat copy with hand wound pickups, and a Rockinger Rudvog).
Did I collect the guitars for the purpose of collecting guitars? No, I bought them from time to time driven by opportunities. Those are instruments I wanted to have. A few weeks ago there was a 513 Swamp Ash advertised on Reverb and Ebay. It would have been an worthwhile addition to the 513 history, but I decided not to purchase it. All guitars have more or less a personal story connected with the buying. The 513 MT is additionally linked to a surprising meeting with Paul on an escalator at Frankfurt Musik Messe in 2014.
I don't collect guitars, I do play them. And depicted is the swarm of the electrics that suits me most. Being asked for a priority, most preferred is my custom made guitar below (Linus Red Scorpion), second are both 513, third is the Peavey.
