I'm not quite sure why it is, but lately I seem to have been blessed with being in the right place at the right time.
Guitars that I have lusted over for years seem to be falling into my lap, and for the most part at prices I can rationalize!
Maybe it's the sad U S economy forcing players and smug collectors to part with their wall art...I don't know. I do know my
credit cards are about ready to blow, so these last guitars are the final new member of The Stripe Room for the
immediate future. (that is untill I get a new case of GAS)

I’m working on a new website devoted entirely to the Floyd Rose USA
V24 Arrow. These guitars are as futuristic looking as they are innovative yet have virtually no information published about them, and remain unknown. The site is called The Holy Headstock and will be a gallery & information/reference type
site. Domain names have been reserved; writing is almost done; and I’m past half way on the road to publishing
it. I'll keep you posted.

To soothe all those that have written about my tunes only being excerpts, I have downloaded full
length new tuneage for each page. Let me know which tunes you like, or don't like.
UPDATE: End Of 2010
Guitar collecting has progressed in the latter part of the year but at a much slower pace. The values
are still there, the cool axes are there, and the will to pull the trigger is there...what is missing is room on the
credit card limit! I was real happy to get a near mint '69 Dan Armstrong clear bass late in December! I'd been looking for
the right Lucite bass (to hang along side my guitar) for six years now, so I HAD to get it when I had the opportunity. Here's
the newest Stripe Room members...I should have them in the Gallery early in 2011.
UPDATE: May 2011
Not much happening since the beginning of the year, and rightfully so. I have
finally found the limiting factor as to how may guitars I will ultimately own: SPACE. I have totally run out of wall and window
space to display my guitars.
I've even gone and purchased 2 six space guitar hanging racks (I call em stripper poles) for the center of the room;
and I still can't get all my guitars displayed. I think the number of guitars owned must stop at 99 until I sell off
some of my assets and make more room.
I did purchase one guitar this
year because it fell under the category of "I've been looking for one of these forever". Lucky me to be in the right
place at the right time!
