I just knew there had to be some kind of benefit to being such an old fart! I've got a pile of receipts 'this deep' from all the amps and guitars that have come and gone since 1968, but that means I've already got pretty much everything I need. And converted to 2002 dollars, I've probably already spent $20k. :) Here's what I have at the moment:

19?? Washburn EA20-12B 12-string electric/acoustic
19?? Washburn EA20MTS 6-string electric/acoustic
(mid 80's?) Washburn A-20 6-string electric (weird-looking beast)
(mid 80's?) Odyssey V built better than either the Gibson or Epiphone Vs (sounds better too!)
1986 Yamaha SBG-1000 double cutaway Les Paul copy ("Brand X", my main axe)

[u]Update 13 July:[/u] The 1977 Daijon 12-string acoustic w/Shadow bridge p/u has been sold to someone who appreciates it. Its in good hands, and my collecton is down to an almost reasonable level.


1991-4 Peavey Rock Master tube pre-amps (3 of 'em!)
1977 Ampeg VT-22 120 Watt, 2x12 tube combo
197? Ampeg VT-40 60 Watt, 4x10 tube combo
1997 Gallian-Kreuger Backline 100 100 Watt, 1x12 transistor combo
2002 WeeBeastie 5 Watt home-built experimental amp
197? Garnet 4x10 cabs (2 of 'em)

Plus the usual assortment of stompboxes 'n such, and a Samson CT-3 wireless that I don't use very often, 'cause I get tangled up by the delay it causes.

So..., I guess I'd look at getting a solid-body electric 12-string custom made, and maybe update my wireless, and the rest would go on recording gear 'cause that's something I don't have!
