ok, before you or jessie jo called me lazy, yes, i did search before posting but when scanning the hits i only saw Mercer and Suzuki in the Subject and clicked a bit in the body of the thread but obviously all too briefly i suppose...lol
i didnt know about the museum stuff, thanks!
also, when Mercer asked him about all his instruments i had interpreted that he had 500 guitars pass thru his hands over his life and not that he actually had 500 on his walls....wow
anyhow, my collection is about 499 shy of his, but i'm more interested in all those non-guitar instruments they all too briefly glanced over...maybe it's not too late to hitch out and see the olympics and walk across the water (it freezes i imagine, i am no god) to his island abode for a peek...besides, my back could use some time on that stretcher thingie
