That’s ok. While Les uses his gear to make monies, he is more of a collector than he lets on to be.
I wanna say he copped to it in the not-so-distant past.
Les? What say you?
"Mr. Mason, would you like to cross examine the witness?"
"Yes, your honor. Now, Mr. Schefman, it's true that you own several limited runs of private stock and core guitars, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"And it's also true that you bought them, in part, because from time to time, you've been a sucker for limited runs?"
"No, I buy them because I use them professionally."
"Mr. Schefman, I show you a post you published on the PRS Forum where you admitted that you are a sucker for limited runs. That's your post, isn't it?"
"Yes it is, but..."
"Will the court instruct the witness to answer the question?"
[The Judge] "Answer the question yes or no."
"OK, yes, it's my post."
"And you made that post because it was true, isn't that correct?"
"I suppose so."
"Now Mr. Schefman, do you suppose that it's also true that the idea of the potential exclusivity of these guitars appealed to what I will call 'pride of ownership'? That's why you called yourself a sucker, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"Does 'pride of ownership' based on exclusivity have anything to do with tone or playability?"
"No, but it's a very small part of why..."
"But you wouldn't call yourself a sucker for buying a great sounding, playable guitar, true?"
"Yes."
"Fact is, that's the kind of thing collectors do. Isn't that true?"
[sobbing] "All right, all right. I admit it. There's a little bit of collector in me, I must have been infected with it by hobnobbing on the PRS Forum."
"Being a little bit of a collector is like being a little bit pregnant, wouldn't you say? [looks at opposing counsel] "Your witness."
