You can never have too many guitars…

I like that a lot and assume you took single photos and shopped them together ... hmmm.
36, beats me by about 6.
I must figure out how to shop 30 odd photos together.

I put a white sheet down on the back patio on a bright sunny day. Took each one and then used Microsoft paint to trim each guitar pic down at the pixel level around the guitar. Then added each pic to a white background in paint. Notice a few I left the shadow on. Too much time on my hands that weekend.
 
IMG_5605.JPG IMG_5607.JPG IMG_5648.JPG I have stacks of guitars. At the house and at the studio or wear house. I'm not sure how many and who borrowed a guitar or two. I have no clue how many and what they are?

This was my PC screen wallpaper in 1999. My high water mark was 36.

Is that a Washburn HB-35 in the top row, second from the left?

I have it's more spartan cousin, the HB-30, though I've modded it quite a bit.

I changed the switch to a real Switchcraft switch, the pots have been changed to 500K pots, vs. the stock 250K versions. The tone caps are .022 mfd caps, versus the stock .033 mfd value.

I also changed the pickups to Seymour Duncan '59s.

I've also done a few minor cosmetic things like trim the pickguard down to a Les Paul-ish shape and put speed knobs on it.

It's actually one of my favorite guitars to play.

The basement floor always makes me nervous due to flooding. Consider elevating what you can.

I live in an area of Pittsburgh that is called Mt Washington. We have a 38 degree hill that a 4 cylinder automobile has a hard time with a the mile long road to Kev Manor. My basement is always bone dry and the humidity is 55% as a constant. I store a couple of my friends very old Martins. I keep a humidity meter in the case of my Martin. My stuff and their stuff is very very safe. I get flooded there are bigger problems than guitars. God is very upset again.
 
I think I found a couple previous pics of the "collective" thoug they are a couple months old and things have changed...

Nice! Do you still have the Tom Anderson (Mongrel?) and PRS CU22?

I can’t remember why, but I sold the Tom Anderson a while ago. Still have the PRS and bought a swamp ash maple to keep it company. Was looking at custom 24s at NAMM. One of those is on my must have list.

Yep, that be a HB-35. Bought it used. It's a 1995 model.
 
As long as there is a bare spot on the walls it gets filled......
This is why in my world I have one guitar too many. No more bare wall spots in the Mancave. 13 electrics and 2 acoustics. One guitar has to be on a floor stand. I rather not have a guitar on a floor stand if it's not being played. I cannot hide away any of my guitars in a case. I need to see them all at anytime... kinda like therapy. I label most of my guitar cases, too.
 
This about a third of mine.
When the cases look the same I label them, simple, but I'm retired and have the time for unnecessary stuff like that.

That is very necessary in my life. I really don't have the time. My students are taking a test and I can read and write on the forum. I work on my lectures here in my office or second home. I can't bring a guitar here because I would get zero work done. I do hide in my study at home because I am writing for two medical journals. I don't even have a pick or a guitar string to distract me. I work on a Lap Top the hospital gave me. That machine is all business and no photos. I give myself two maybe three hours for playing or working on guitars. I would lose it if I didn't have a guitar or twenty to upgrade, fix and play. Since I first came to America the guitar has been a very important part of my life. Both good and bad memories come in every guitar case.
 
Now should you have a room full heads of stuff you shot and you want to hang guitars in the same room. How do you find a balance? I wouldn't like it but I might have to call one of them eastern deign people. Flung Sway is very near and dear to my heart. A cat from Japan that naturally has a thing for guitars and dead animals heads.
