Not just about collections. Though Billy Connolly Did show one of the largest guitar collections I've ever seen. Billy also shows a Scotsman's View of America as he travels Old Rout-66 on his Trike. He is a very colorful fellow himself and brings a significantly different prospective to the sights and sounds of this great country. If you like,check him out on (YOUTUBE).

Yep totaly bonkers but happy as a pig in mud

Done a few tv shows with this format Danny, Canada, NZ, Aus & others always a joy to watch

I don´t know, just trying to concieve such a collection, gave me anxiety. I could never handle it man. The medicine bottle collection intrigued me, I was collecting glasses without knowing why until I went to therapy.
Thankfully it all stopped as my collection was a constant worry of sorts, plus the fact that I would pour and drink hard liquor from my favorite glasses daily. That sort of kept me away from my Strat for a couple of years there!

FIGHT!

He who dies with the most toys wins.

I'm absolutely sure that if I had unlimited funds that I'd have a huge collection of great vintage guitars.Even with my limited funds I've been able to scrape together a collection of 30 or so and that was by putting any gig money and disposable income into guitars.

I love to listen to the tonal nuances between guitars and even guitars that are the same make and model and year can sound and feel a lot different.I make sure that all my guitars get played from time to time and absolutely abhor the thought of non-playing collectors hording beautiful instruments away,silent in hermatically sealed vaults.

I can appreciate guys like Rick Neilson grabbing up hundreds of guitars as I can understand how the love of magnificent instruments can turn into obsession.50 Coronados would only be a starting point for me if I had that guy's means of support-oh the fun I could have collecting guitars and building warehouses to hold it all.

Yeah me too

I'm guessing but was your therapist also the barman

Confession time chef out with it how many Ibanez's do you have.Iv'e lost that one then, unless boyhood memories of Susan George films count

Even if I was loaded Guitslinger I couldn't get to that stage, a good one of each would be enough for me, lots of other fantasies should a lottery win come my way

Ding !!!!!!!! would be a crying shame if he said no, seemed a happy guy though I'd expect he does.

Thanx for the link, that was very entertaining. And I've been a fan of Billy Connolly for a long time so that added to it as well. I'll be watching more of this Route 66 show too, Billy does a great job of "observing while entertaining" and he's hilarious.

Not sure I'd ever want that many either even if I could. But I know there are a few I would add to my guitar family if I could.

And yeah, he never asked if the guy played, found that interesting.

There's so many people out there that have huge collections of their favorite things and hardly anyone knows about them...for good reasons. thanks for posting that!

Thanks for posting RIU! It is an insane collection. Made me remember traveling Route 66 twice. Once in 68 when some Bros and I were itching to get to L.A. so we only stopped for refueling so missed the collection then. And again in 79 when the road crews were changing Route 66 over to Route 40. I was going to see some Bros recording at a studio in L.A. My traveling companion was a very high-priced call girl so we only stopped to...eat and then carried on so missed the collection again. lol:)
