Here I sit, in the wee hours of the morning, unwinding after a night of work. Late nights on the weekend, will generally find my friends and I playing guitars, listening to music, and enjoying each other's company, often until dawn. I have been playing guitar, and drums, since I was a teenager. I have also been in a couple of local bands. My father was a professional guitar player, and he did quite well, though he did not play, or even like, the kind of music I play.
    Though I have always had a guitar or two around the house to play on, I have just started collecting guitars in the last couple of years. I still have a couple of my dad's old guitars, but he preferred hollow body jazz guitars; my tastes run to the solid body rock guitars, made popular in the sixties.
