Willie G. Moseley Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I can't honestly say I previously knew that Mr. Irsay was a collector. Apparently he built his collection in a less-publicized manner, unlike, say Scott Chinery (although IMO Chinery was pretty egalitarian and never went to a "look what I've got" attitude). What Irsay has is important stuff, however, and he seems to be a pragmatist concerning how he's presenting the items; i.e. his thing doesn't seem to be "look what I've got", either. https://guitar.com/features/collections/the-greatest-guitar-collection-on-earth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Prof Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 There was some press about his collection back when the Colts were duking it out against the Pats for the AFC title on a yearly basis. I recall a pic of him cradling an EDS-1275 and figured he must be rather serious to buy one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 “I CAN’T BE PETE TOWNSHEND OR CHRISSIE HYNDE OR WHOEVER BECAUSE THAT’S JUST NOT ME. BUT I CAN BE A CURATOR” That is a rather curious juxtaposition of names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alantig Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Some years ago, after Irsay bought George Harrison's SG, his guitar handler was on Bob and Tom with it (and telling some great stories about Irsay's buying exploits). Then-Colts punter Pat McAfee was on the show as well, and they filmed this bit (not the actual Harrison guitar, obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Kind of disgusting that he’s a multi billionaire and pretty much got a free stadium. But sure. Cool guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
