does anyone know who has the largest guitar collection in the world

i heard pat smear has the largest hagstrom collection and john5 has a bundle load of telecasters including the original broadcaster as well as a nocaster

Guitar Center?

oh if your talking about corporate stores i would prob say sam ash and guitar center.

but as far as private collectors go ed roman, pat smear and as i said above john5...i am sure there are more but thats all i can think of for the time being.

Rick Neilson of Cheap Trick has over 250 guitars. Joe Perry has over 150 and Steven Seagal YES that Stevan Seagal has one of the most impressive collections of importance out there.He has ALBERT KINGS 59 FLYING V-his Lucy flying V-and his 60s flying V.He has STEVIE RAYS-Firebird that has STEVIE RAYS,MUDDY WATER,and ALBERT KINGS names carved in it.HE also has guitars owned by BO DIDDLEY,BUDDY GUY,HOWLIN WOLF,STEVE CROPPER AND HENDRIX.Theres a great article in Junes Vintage Guitar mag with Billy Gibbons and Seagal and they show you a lot of his gear and talk guitars .I had known he was a player and collector but not how much he is into it he plays with all the old blues cats and is friends with them all and has a collection worth a couple of million who the hell would ever think that.KEEP ON ROCKIN

that sounds cool, there is a you tube video of john 5 talking about is tele's i was impressed on how many different makes and colors were on the tele's

I saw that Deth.The one with 5 and the roomful of vintage teles.Thats a nice clip.He is a bit weird but I like the guy he is a fierce player.

i think any artist is a lil weird or different lol plus he had to put up with manson's antics for 6-7 yrs lol

The Smithsonian has the Lemelson Center collection of some very sanificant guitars.
