I had this strange obsession w/ owning many copies of the same thing. 

When I started playing guitar and decided that my dream guitar was a black strat, I wanted black strats. Only black strats. If I could have bought 50 guitars, they'd all have been absolutely identical.

I've since switched to Les Paul. 

The black and cream ones, w/ amber knobs, just like the one I have (well, except mine's a Epi.) I'd want dozens just like this one. Once I'd pass the magic number of 50, then maybe I'd start a collection of all identical sunburst ones. 
 
Long story short, I hate Jeff Beck! ;)

Sort of like Rudolf Schenker and his flying V's, ya?

He he, at least Mr Hudson collects them in a few different versions:



 
 
 

Did they slash the price for him?

And like McQ and his white socks

A guy back home who owned one of these - IIRC, it was one of only 250. It was stolen a few years later. I remember spending one afternoon on the deck at his home playing it through that little silver box which acted like an amp w/ a couple of effects (can't remember the name of the unit). 


Since the intro of Symptom of The Universe was one of the very few things I could play back then, it's no wonder he left me by myself out there after 20 minutes of me playing that riff non-stop. lol

I always kinda liked these...

That's one strange thing. I can't say that I ever really had the wall-of-amps fantasy - I have always been much more pragmatic about these. I wanted one of each. :P

I used to have a thing for variety too...  Now these are all gone (along with the others I used to have - I only have one power amp now, a VHT 2/50/2 - *Sigh*).
 

Woah man, that was quite the rig! Most I owned was my '59 Bassman re-issue and a little Marshall combo.

I just remembered - that little device I mentioned earlier, it was called a Play Bus. First "amp sim" kind of thing I've seen or heard. Man I used to wish I had one. But I couldn't even replace broken strings on my guitar. lol




I guess I had my first experience of GAS in that house. There were guitars and gimmicks like that everywhere!
