Members knotty Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yep I am . Guitar mags under the bed. Guitarist and Total guitar. About 5 years worth give or take the odd issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjpistols Posted July 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 I definitely have the tendency, and in fact used to have a hoard (often referred to as "herd" here). I have brought the collection down to low single digits after having close to 30 guitars in a studio apartment some years back. I feel in control of it.

Members Jerry_L Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hoarder has too negative a connotation. I'm a collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh damn the amount of magazines and old catalogs I had at one point kinda scares me to think about now. I'm a big fan of paperless in a lot of ways, since I tend to not toss magazines.

Members BB123 Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm gonna pick 4. If I had the money I probably would be, but with little funds i'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 Oh no do you have action figures? nah.. But I have old collections of baseball cards, comics, DVDs and books (oodles and oodles of books).. Then there is the aquarium wing of the house..

Members kayd_mon Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have the tendency to collect stuff... I collected action figures as a kid, but I played with them, so they weren't collectible-quality. I collected comic books up until I was in my mid-twenties, and then I only quite because I had money trouble. Once I had enough money to buy comics again, I had fallen a few months behind on all the books, and I figured it was too much to catch back up. Ended up saving myself a whole lot of money. As far as guitar stuff, I tend to keep guitars, as I almost never sell them. I buy a lot of pedals, but I rarely am too attached to pedals - I've traded and sold a bunch. I sort of collect Vox amps, though... I have quite a few. I don't have any vintage ones, but I've very nearly bought some in-need-of-restoration ones. Eventually, I'll get one to restore. It'll be a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jerry_L Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 So you picked option 3? No, I went with option 2, though the only thing really keeping me in check are limits of my resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked at Blockbuster when I was in college, so I have a bunch of DVDs that I otherwise wouldn't have bought (took advantage of multiple coupons + employee discount many times...). I also have a lot of music on CD and vinyl. I guess I do collect music, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of paperless in a lot of ways, since I tend to not toss magazines. Same here. I've got about 3 years of Guitar Player, Guitar World, EQ, Sound on Sound, Tape Op, PC Gamer, and a few others cluttering up the bookshelves. And hiding under tables. And stacked on the back of the toilet. And anywhere else you look. This week I have plans to toss them all (except the S.O.S. mags) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 My book collection is stored for me at libraries all around the world. Comics, too. Yeah, I noticed that the local library had a big shelf of graphic novels. I thought I could catch up on some "reading" that way, if I wanted to. I do have a small book collection, but I'm an English teacher - we're kind of supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jjpistols Posted July 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 I had GFTPM and Guitar School and others dating back to 1988 when I cleaned out. MF catalogs that were over a decade old. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arr0wHead Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 Who still has hundreds of VHS tapes? Cassettes? A buncha tube TVs or CRT monitors?..Dust never goes out style. Ouch. that too. I've got no less than 3 CRT's buried in the next room, as well as a 32" sony trinitron I couldn't get down the stairs to throw away. And other stuff. Lets just say that my bedroom, kitchen, living room/studio, and dining room are immaculate. My GUEST bedroom (which I refer to as the "garage") looks like an episode of "Hoarders".

Members Arr0wHead Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 MF catalogs that were over a decade old. WTF? This too. MF catalogs, dozens and dozens of Carvin catalogs, Sweetwater catalogs the size of phone books. Now I won't even bring em in the house. I page through it at the mailbox, and toss it in the trash on the way in the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jerry_L Posted July 25, 2011 Members Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have about 15 years of Guitar Player magazine, plus a lot of Guitar World, Guitar School, Guitar One, and Guitar For the Practicing Musician. Though I rarely look back at them, I'm sure they are full of timeless and valuable guitar wisdom, and will likely be left for someone else to dispose of when I'm gone. Catalogs I toss after a year, or sooner if they send too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
