Are they hardball? Or did you just think that the "Please, no guns" in the OP didn't include you? 😉
Got my first geetar about the same year my Dad's 105.012-65 was being made. I think I paid about £10, spread over 20 weeks, for it from a mail order catalogue. My school was close to a London Tube Station. I used to play truant, get on a train into central London and hang around guitar shops. (This accounts for me being a nonuffinkbloke!)😁
That first guitar kicked off a life long love. Over the years they have come and gone.
Some are vintage and collectible.
Some are for everyday use.
I play at least one everyday and have done for the last 50 years. Old Speedy even lives with one of them.
WOW what a great collection.. spent a lot of time in around hank's guitar shop (tin pan alley) Denmark street but like my watch collection window shopping was normally as far as I got but like watches you don't have spend a lot of money to get something you love to wear or play...👍
Edited and removed my pics.......did not see his comments at the end of the post.
I am guilty of diving head first into posting previously too 😁
I wouldn't consider myself as a collector but I hardly have any other trainers than Adidas Superstars. This is about 3/4 of them. 😀
Too many mostly silly things, Magic Cards... I just never sell them off or throw them out :|
Cufflinks - mainly from coronation and jubilee years. The top right are my oldest - from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897
