New Guy Here, Thought I'd show off my collection

[Fullmoon 1971]

Hi guys & girls, My name is john and I'm a guitar addict. my collection currently stands at 125. amongst these are 6 PRS SE's. I have to say that the se's do tend to be my go to guitar more often than not. sure I have most expensive ones by different companies but the PRS's just seem to inspire me to play. I was lucky enough to get 4 of these signed by Paul Reed Smith when he visited a local guitar shop at the end of 2013. here is the collection

A family Shot.

Yeah, that's rad. Who did it for you?

 

[IRG]

What an eclectic collection you have here! I can't imagine all of the string changes you must go through annually.

 

[Fullmoon 1971]

Yeah I go throu a lot of strings and a lot of polish.

The werewolf is georgous - looks even better in person.

The artwork was done by a workshop called wolfies workshop. The design was already done when I bought the giutar and the best part was it only cost me £320. he'd had it hanging around and just wanted rid. I going to get either an Catanese or Bernie or possibly a Standard 245 and get wolfie to paint Frankensteins monster & bridge on that, and a Paul Allander model and have Dracula done on that. I swapped the pickup rings at the same time as I swapped the rickups round(81 in Neck & 85 in Bridge).

The weirdest one is the Tremonti Custom. This was commissioned by the Thomann music store to celebrate their 60th year in business. they odered 300 in 5 colours(60 of each). 'm not sure it should be called a Tremonti custom through because of spec changes.

I had the SE Tremonti that you have, on top of your couch, in natural color. It was a thinner body guitar than what Tremonti models are now, and thinner than a SE245. I didn't really bond with mine, sold it fairly quickly. The guy who bought it didn't keep it long either. Maybe just a dud. I wasn't thrilled with the 245 either, but the guy who bought it liked it a lot, so maybe just me. Decided to give the SE line another try with the Clint Lowery. Really like this one. Even like the stock pickups. The pots and switch are crap, but everything is great. Liked it so much I bought the S2 Standard 22. Great guitar too. Now I want the S2 Custom 24 30th Anniversary. Would like a Core, but at the cost I probably won't for a while. Eventually, yes. I bet you'll find yourself in that same boat at some point. You could sell a dozen or two dozen guitars to buy a Core, and not even miss what's in your collection! Think of all the money you'll save on strings too, lol.
