Here is some of the art I collect; I thought I would show off my prized guitars* in a group shot including me (yuck!). Enjoy! ;D

* few of them are older than I am and are worth more than what I make a year! :o

Wow, those are awesome Duck2k! I really like the one of the far right, it has a unique shape. I also like the gold one in the middle because of its size (and unique color). But they're all beautiful. Do you play in a band?

Those are great, Duckman! Did any of them belong to anyone famous?

Swell collection of offspring there, Duckman. Do you have any objection to people pointing at them? 8-)

Whoa, that's quite a collection you've got there. Are you serious about the "more than you make annually" part? :wiltshock:

Very nice instruments, Duckers! I don't know much about guitars but I do know that I like that one on the far left. An acoustic I'm guessing?

I wanna thank you guys for stopping in and having a peek, and commenting. I started playing guitar when I was 15 (and in my first rock band). Since then, I have been thru several styles, and finally got back in touch with the Blues, and a little Jazz. I do have acoustic guitars and basses as well (since I play guitar, bass, mandolin, and blues harp).

The value of a couple of these babies are almost what I make in a year. The red Fender Strat is a 1960 and is worth $25K; The goldtop Gibson Les Paul is a 1957, worth about $45K; The Sherman Green Fender Strat to the far right (or laid flat in the other pic) is a 1962 (purchased from the ORIGINAL owner) and worth $23K; The other green Fender Strat is a 1957 re-issue (built in the present, but with the same quality as the original vintage); The Gibson Firebird (olympic white, but aged to a dull yellow) is a 1964, worth $15K. And finally, the jazzbox to the far left is a Gibson ES-175 and they are a $4K guitar brand new. The money guitars I purchased LONG before their prices skyrocketed - in other words I got 'em when they were still affordable (not anymore).:frankiesmile:

Those are really sweet guitars! I especially like the gold one in the middle and the red one. :bloogrin:

It must have cost you that much just to get them.

By the way, great collection you got there.

The funny part about these instruments, is they are not like a stock (goes up and down in value); their value just keeps going up!

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to take a look at the Duckman's #1 pride and joy.:frankiesmile:
