Yeah, I get everything I want out of her, I guess she's just all I need. When you get over a certain amount of guitars, is it for bragging purposes, or to make yourself look big? I just don't understand why people like alain would buy so many guitars and then get on places like this and brag about it, how does he play all of them anyway? If it's for investment purposes, that is just pointless. I'm in serious doubt that he has all he says he has.


To each his opinion on collecting. I respect your point of view.
I don't "brag"; just wish to let interested people know what the very best luthiers in the world are able to handcraft.
There are so many guitars from the best guitars manufacturers that the existence is totally ignored by most people, that I think it's worth showing them to let other people appreciate the work of these Masterbuilders' creations.
Without collectors, one wouldn't see pristine vintage guitars anymore or Masterbuilders' work would quickly turn routine.
I do play all my guitars, certainly some more than others.
I play regularly in gigs and thus need some specific guitars for that purpose.
We don't live in the USA and we will never make any exhibition of such instruments.
All guitars shown on our site belong to us as mentioned and we still have many more guitars to put on line as and when: but nobody's pushing you to visit such site if it hurts you so much :wink: .


+1

cheers :D

......I'm sure they are out there, though IMHO, they're not as cosmetically complimentary to the light body shade.

Hi Gary,

I think this sums it up pretty good:

And I guess that pretty much makes Alain the Hugh Hefner of guitar collectors!

Recently sociological study showed that the degree of a woman's interest in a less than physically attractive man was directly proportional to net worth.

The plight of the rich: "Would she still love me if I came down in the world?" "Would I be happier if I had more musical talent than fancy guitars?"

.....and then there's Alain..who was quite a different looking guy in his 20's, and found his path to acquiring both, for better or worse.

A few have everything.

A few more are content striking a balance.

A whole lot fail miserably at compensating deficits.

Some can tell which is which. :) :) :)
