    Hey Gav, is 37 the number of Pit Bull kits you have built ?

    I thought I had a problem but that makes me feel like vice president of GAS now ! haha
    No, i should count the PBG kits....i own 37 guitars....i'll go quietly when the men in white jackets arrive to fetch me....as long as I get to bring them ALL with me when I go!!!!!!

    The 37 *38 guitars includes the Maton Uke and the Uke I built as well as the 4 basses (All PBG's) - but does not include the two guitars and the Midi Guitar that my kids have. Maybe I should sand the kids guitars back and Wudtone them...or do one in Tru Oil for my son and Concho Girl Pink for my daughter.....can't do anything for the Midi since it is already covered in PLASTIC!

    Garage / Gumtree Sale might need consideration!

    *Due to a quick count leading to the discovery that I have 17 PBG kits! I realised that DB still has one of my Guitars a prized Fretless HB-4 in concho girl Pink at his house!

    nice work Gav, thats quite a collection.
    Stan here's a pic of a small part of my collection, my 27 PBG count doesn't include 4 guitars I have bought, 2 lap steels and an old bass, and doesn't include any of the cigar box guitars shown in this photo, have built at least 12 CBG's so my total count must be approaching 50, I need a golf counter I think !

    Definitely a problem Wok's!
    But as I keep saying, (to convince myself of my own sanity) my guitars in number are still below the number of shoe's the wife has....

    thats a great argument Gav, just keep the axe number below wifes shoe count and you will be ok !

    Adam's collection must be getting close to 20 guitars/basses, does he qualify for GAS ? at least 10 or a dozen were built by DB !
