      I've been playing professionally for 40 years and just recently retired from gigging. You name the guitar, I've owned it at one point. Here are just a few

        @edgarallanpoe I played drums all my life,but pretty much always in guitar based rock bands. Didn’t see any Gretsch,or Rickenbacker guitars. Where are you located?

            @AdamJ my favorite guitars are my custom ones built for me by Nik Huber. I have 4, a Dolphin II in Korina with brazilian rosewood fretboard. If it isn't the first one in korina he made it's damn close. The other is a Redwood Dolphin..it's a hollow korina body with a one piece redwood top, braz board. A dolphin Jr in korina with braz board and an Orca (LP style) with korina body, eastern maple top and braz board.

            His guitars just speak to me and have since the first time I played them at NAMM in the early 2000's.

                  @Jett129 located in Pittsburgh, Pa USA. I've owned Rics and Gretsch guitars in years past. I had a really cool Elliot Easton model Gretsch for a long time that I loved, the Ric I had was a great guitar but was better suited for other players. It sounded awesome but I just couldn't get it to work for me...no idea why.

                  I also have a Collings acoustic that I've never seen anywhere else. It's supposedly a D2G which is their version of the Martin Drednought, the G in the name stands for a German Spruce top. But what makes this D2G different is that it has their "mom" inlay which is an elaborate scroll, engraved Waverly tuners, and a Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. It might be the only one of its kind, but that is just speculation.

                    @edgarallanpoe I thought I saw a Collings in one of your pics. So D2 but no herringbone trim? I’d love to see a pic of the back if you get around to it. Do you know the grade of Brazilian? Very special guitar for sure.

                      No idea of the grade. I found some other pics of it. But nothing of the back, here is the trim, inlay, and engraved tuners.

                          Since I don’t belong to a Les Paul forum, I’ll post this tidbit here because I’m dying to tell someone. A little birdie has told me that a dead mint, practically unplayed, one-owner 1959 burst has just surfaced. Not documented in any of the Burst books, this is one of those that was unaccounted for that everyone fantasized about maybe still being out there somewhere in somebody’s closet. Mint case and hang tags even. Absolutely flawless. Keep an eye on Slash, Joe Walsh, and Joe Bonamassa, one of them is about to add this guitar to their collection for a measley $600,000. I’m sure there will be a few magazine articles coming out in the near future about it once the dust settles.

                            That’s pretty wild — curious to know if any of the red is still intact. Maybe so if it’s been sitting in a case all these years.

                              @xtcclassic Very cool, that's the ultimate find right there.
                              Seems like the it could go a lot higher than $600,000, plenty of people out there with interest and money. Personally I'd be worried about the authenticity, but guys like Bonamassa know what they are looking at at this point.

                                  I recently picked up the Johnny Marr "Marrs Guitars" books. A great coffee table type book with some great photographs inside. The book basically documents some of his collection and the stories behind each guitar.

                                  There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                    @ddtrash I’m consistently tempted to pick up one of his sig Jaguars. Never really too crazy about signature guitars, but they did a really great job with that one. Plays and sounds killer.

                                      @popvulture we need to talk D-18’s sometime. I’ve got a ‘71 that’s been completely overhauled. Frets, bridge (moved and correctly placed for proper intonation), saddle , bridge plate, tuners all replaced. Neck reset, k&k western mini installed, couple cracks repaired… even had the luthier slightly scallop the braces. I bought it used on eBay with this intent and it really turned into a wonderful guitar.

                                        @SKT man that sounds awesome! I've heard really great things about k&k pickups, and have been planning on replacing the Fishman pickup in mine with a Pure Mini. My D18 is a Golden Era, not sure what year but I think probably maybe 2010ish or so, but I bought it used at Chicago Music Exchange. I just went in planning to look at some acoustics with no plans to buy, ended up checking out a ton of Martins, and this one just grabbed my attention. I keep playing other acoustics to compare, nice Collings etc that cost 3x what I paid for the GE, and I still haven't found anything I like better. It came with the Fishman, which is fine, but it's a soundhole pickup — it doesn't look too intrusive but I'd rather it not be there.

                                        Post some pics of your D18 sometime — I'd love to see!

                                          I love the k&k’s…I think they have such a “transparent” sound. I’ve had quite a few guitars with them installed and have never been disappointed. Those Martin GE are awesome and I bet yours sounds fantastic. Lately I’ve been playing a Collings CJ with a short scale the most. The scale length makes it just a hair easier for me to play as my hands get a bit older. Here’s a pic of the D-18 and my Collings CJ. The CJ was actually a prototype for what they now call the CJ35. I like to think Bill had a lot to do with its build ( in 2011).
