Pittsburgh Guitars Collection

Well, let's face it. With all these guitars coming and going, there're bound to be some that we just can't let go of. One day we asked ourselves, why keep them all closed up in a humidity-controlled storage space when we could have them out to look at in a humidity-controlled display case? These guitars aren't for sale--we have way too much fun displaying them and admiring their beauty! We hope you will enjoy them too.

 The Beatles Collection

After we collected the usual AC-30s, a T-60, AC-100s, some Super Beatles, Casinos, a 1963 Country Gentleman, a Tennessean, a Rick, small pickup-ring Hofner, J-160E, and 2 sets of Black Oyster Pearl Ludwigs (20" and 22"), we decided to back-track to the pre-Brian Epstein days. The Beatle Collection now includes a White Pearl Premier set just like Pete Best's, a Selmer Truevoice, a Gibson Les Paul Amp, a tweed Fender Deluxe, some Relso mics, a 1957 Duo Jet (with Bigsby, of course), and a close-pickup, vertical-logo 1960 Hofner. The only thing missing: a correct era Rick 325! See: What we really want. Can you find one for me?
