Looking round at my guitars and other gear, I'd say it has failed badly!
Cubase, guitars.

People often mistake me for a grown-up because of my age.

I dunno, since I've been a member of this forum I've only bought...

this whole building and everything in it.
Except, ironically, a couple of the guitars.

Re: Nile Rodgers Guitar Auction
I feel like this a safe space to raise this so at the risk of being accused of heresy, I'll just throw it out for critique. I sometimes wonder if your guitar collection already contains a humbucker, a single coil and a P90, then nothing you buy will sound any different to anyone but you.

Steel strung six string, 12string, nylon string, baritone, semi-acoustic, etc. we always find excuses!

What a nice touch to Not put his own name on the foundation.
Too many famous names, not matter how Humanitarian the cause, put their name on their foundation.
We are Family I got all my Sisters with me.... well not quite on this forum lol.
Ps. I think I can afford the same toothpaste as Nile, although it won't help my smile lol nor my guitar playing.

Well, assuming you mean a solid body, semi-hollow and hollow body version of each...

I believe I've hit a happy medium (and I don't mean Doris Stokes in dope). I have a trad Strat, A P90 Strat and a '75 Les Paul. Then I need a couple of acoustics and have GA bodied 24 ¾" scale (Brian Eastwood Custom, 1981), a small bodied Emerald X7 Carbon Fibre job (24" scale) and a cheapo Dreadnaught. Then there's the Eastwood L5/ES175 Jazz box and my Rob Aylward Selmer Style Gypsy Jazz guitar. They all sound different and do different things, I could live without some of them but, thankfully, I don't have to. I don't feel any need to buy any more guitars and while I might buy a really nice dreadnaught (I have nothing for #1 son to inherit as he's left handed and a nice dread could easily be converted to work for a left hander) but I'd sell the cheap dread to make space.

Re: Nile Rodgers Guitar Auction
What is the optium number of guitars and which ones is not the question here. The question is do you need a guitar with star shine, whos do you need ? , & how much % are you prepared to pay over the normal price ?
