I just googled this collector and I am surprised he is only 46 years old.

At least he plays his guitars, what I have heard.

mbowen · 03-25-12, 05:21 AM

Hoss he does play them.Sammy i used to think that but in some ways maybe it is a good thing.These amazing guitars are protected and preserved for the future .Thanks Mike B.

And this photo in Ian Bishop's The Gibson Guitar from 1950, published in 1977, is the reason why!
