And the Hamers Dwindle.....

So, I broke down and agreed to sell the two special DuoTones I still had. That gets me down apparently to just five.

Newport with Bigsby

Monaco Elite with Lollar P90s

Monaco SuperPro....Custom order with korina, Lollar Imperials, F hole.

25th Anniversary Ltd Edition

Artist Ultimate

(Not counting a cheapie import set up in a faint tilt toward David Gilmour's Strat).

Cannot think of too many reasons to cut loose any. Well, I probably will sell the Newport, but looking to do that locally.

Hard to believe how many I once had!😉

Well, you can't take them with you.... But you can TRY!   😀

I've reached an age where I am starting to plot in my head that at some point in the next couple of years, I need to start doing what you've been doing. 

47 guitars (9 Hamers for the scorekeepers) and assorted amps/effects etc all crammed into a one-bedroom condo has been great fun for me, but nothing goes on forever.

At least the condo is paid for and I don't 'have to' do anything until I want to.

I've been thinning too! No guitars yet but a bunch of amps. A studio here in FL came over to check out my 68 Super Bassman. The rare one they only built for a couple months. They left with that amp, a 64' Bandmaster, a 63 6G6B Bassman, and a 65 AA864 Blackface Bassman. All amps from my studio. I still have 8 amps left. I really don't want to sell those yet!

Good results! More than once I had someone come over to buy something, ask what else I had, then proceeded to take more.

A few years back I had a young guy locally that went rather nuts on guitars Could barely play when I met him, but he got better. Over a couple years, he bought over $60k in guitars and related gear just from me. Pretty sure he spent even more on real high end guitars from others. I reckon that he shipped a good number of them to  China through Hong Kong before they tighten things up. 

I could make more progress if Mr. Hong was still in a buying mood....😉

Yeah, I have a pretty weighty stack of amp gear, including several classic Mesa pieces, some Swarts as well as the (too many) cabinets I built. But it does not make a lot of sense to ship those heavy things.
