I think I've got 32 now. :roll:
Crikey, that’s impressive. What’s your favoured.
Mine is my Gretsch 59 Vintage Select Duo Jet. Also looking out for a lightly used 53 version with Dynasonic pickups.

I’m mostly playing my Rivolta Mondata baritone, just dissected it, going to nail a Bigaby on this weekend. It’s a very addictive guitar, thunderous open chord sounds. Love it.

I've got a Gibson LP Standard and a Gibson LP Junior Tribute, which is my new "go-to" guitar. Two P-90s, 1 vol. 1, tone, and a 3-way toggle. About as simple as I could make things, which is what I wanted. I haven't added it yet, but here are the rest...

Oh, I've put a LesTrem on the LP Standard too.

Nice. I’ve had a few LP’s, but only really got on with the P90 models. I’m more of a single coil fan, than humbuckers, though is do love a Filtertron. I I have a nice LP jr which is keep in the living room. All others are on wall hangers in my home office.

I like the Les Trem. I’ve had a few Dusenburg guitar, my favourite being the Caribou. Fabulous guitar.

That's more Johnny Marr ! - Now if you were to substitute guitars for LPs then that could well be my future 🤭

Joe's got about 400 guitars, but it's said that Keith Richards has around 4,000. :o
Maybe the "best" collection though is Jim Irsay's. He's got the stuff of guitarists' dreams.

I read this article earlier this year, https://guitar.com/features/collections/the-greatest-guitar-collection-on-earth/ as I was subscribed to the magazine.

I remember watching a 'Collectors' programme on BBC 2, about 1992 so a few years ago and Steve Howe was a guest, he had 83 at the time.
