Nice collection. Really! My only suggestion is to wear a tuxedo and a top hat when posing with such a dynamite array!
I've got two singlenecks. A ZB and a Sho~Bud.[This message was edited by Henry Nagle on 11 November 2006 at 09:27 AM.] |

I don't know what Nick does for a living, but I bet it isn't playing steel!
How many do I have? Not as many as Nick....

WOW...look at Nick!
Sweet collection, I think he likes the Emmons steels.
I have a bunch of stringed instruments, multiple 6 string guitars, but only one steel.
My grandmother used to say "You can't dance at 2 weddings with only one tuchas"
Ask Jimbeaux for a translation of tuchas. [This message was edited by Bo Borland on 11 November 2006 at 06:21 AM.] |

Well its been a while since I bragged on my MSA's, so here's the picture of three of them. I have a Superslide that's not shown. I also have a Williams, a Fessenden, and a '75 Emmons black lacquer P/P. As it has been already mentioned, there's no way I could afford all this if I played music full time. I have to have the day job designing ditch diggers.
Then theres the guitars, here's part of that collection:
Then there's the amps, and here's part of that collection.

Just one. If I showed up with another steel, I would be in the "Home For Unwed Fathers".
Unfortunately, my day job doesn't let me own that many toys. [This message was edited by Mike Ester on 11 November 2006 at 09:28 AM.] [This message was edited by Mike Ester on 11 November 2006 at 09:29 AM.] [This message was edited by Mike Ester on 11 November 2006 at 09:29 AM.] |

| Hey Nick... How many of your guitars have the same knee lever arrangement? Not counting the Fender, of course. |

Henry,
They all have the same knees with the standard (4), however the black S-10 & the rosewood D-10 both have an additional 5th verticak knee that lowers the b's on the E9th neck. Somebody asked, oh yes I do like Emmons guitars!

I have only one PSG, a Fender/Sho-Bud 3+1, but I have some parts and plan on building a few.
As far as the question posted;
Question: How many do any or us actually NEED?
Well, I have a good number of 6 string guitars, and I like having a selection to choose from for differant sounds but, I would gladly trade all but one good guitar for the chance to be playing everynight for a living again. |
