Folks - This may be way out there, but I have some 'guitar / amp
collector questions' for any collectors that care to answer.

<<< Please spare the flame responses. I know at a glance, this may
seem shallow, but I am sure there are some out there that feel the
same way, like the whole GAS - Gear Aquisition Syndrome thing>>>

I am a guitar / amp collector. It excites me to find rare pieces,
which occupies most of my time and interest in the guitar field. Some
people like cars, I like guitars and amps.

The problem I have is ... once I find that piece, I put the guitar in
a closet, and move on to the next tough piece to find, much like an
archeologist, looking for bones.

I learned that my interest in collecting has superceded my interest in
playing guitars.

Now, I am at a crossroads, because I have lots of guitars that I don't
play, hardly have room for, that I can obviously sell, but would be
right back to square one.

Anyone else feeling the dilemma? Any feedback (again, besides the
flames I know this type of post will generate)?

Even for the vintage collector, everyone MUST feel a little bit of
this, no?

They decline in value if you don't use them. Wake up. You don't need all
of that crap in closet somewhere. Sell some of it to someone who will
apppreciate and use it -- maybe even invite you over to listen or
participate.
