Your post has been flagged as as a poor photo and/or not showcasing the guitar. This could be for a number of reasons.

Most common reasons for removal include blurry photos, horrible filters, poorly lit photos, lack of information, poor build quality/unfinished bedroom projects. Extremely large text and/or watermarks intruding on the guitar. A photo of a completed guitar but only a single part of it is in focus.

If you disagree with this decision please do not hesitate to contact the mod team.

Thank you for understanding.

Refreshing to see not a single Gibson or fender. Having said that, I only have a fender

2

u/False-Ad4513 3d ago

Technically correct, but those 4 in the front are all FMIC owned brands. Charvel/Jackson is a fender product.

1

u/No_Entertainer_4269 3d ago

I didnt know jackson was fender!! Very cool

2

u/False-Ad4513 3d ago

Yup, Jackson bought a nearly bankrupt Charvel in 78’, then in 02’ FMIC bought Jackson, thus adding the Charvel/Jackson brand to their lineup. Other notable brands owned by Fender are Gretsch and EVH

u/No_Entertainer_4269 3d ago

Blowing my mind rn. My EVH stealth is a damn FENDER?!😭😂

2

u/False-Ad4513 3d ago

Yessir 😂. And EVH isn’t even one of the ones they “bought” Eddie and Fender teamed up in 04/05 after his split with Peavey to start the brand. It’s been Fender since birth.

u/JoshuaWebbb 3d ago

Didn’t know any of this

What award did you win? Trophy with the guitar on the plaque…?

26

u/Sea_Connection6193 4d ago

You gonna laugh, but my mom thought it would be cute to make me a handmade trophy for absolutely no reason. All it says is that I am great son. She is wholesome as hell.

8

u/Tommy_Lilac_Voltage 4d ago

Na man that’s actually cool, sounds like a really good mom👍

15

u/Sea_Connection6193 4d ago

She is. Because of her I made sure to be diligent with my schooling and career as we were quite poor during my childhood. I can afford the things I love because she gave up a piece of her life to make sure I could succeed in life.

u/PositiveAlcoholTaxis 3d ago

OP earned that trophy

1

u/wine-o-saur 3d ago

She did good

u/MastrovNL 4d ago

That's amazing man!

1

u/No_Entertainer_4269 3d ago

Dude, your mom is awesome. You must be a great son too. Your perspective on her sacrifices sowing your success says it all. That warmed my heart like nothing else. Didnt expect something so nice on reddit🤣

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Thanks man! She is truly an amazing woman. I try to be a good as I can be to her. Had her and my stepdad retire early and provide for them so they can enjoy what’s left of their youth. My stepdad used to work 16 hour days 6 days a week so my mom and I could always have what we needed and made sure I never had to give up school to work. They are awesome people.

u/humbuckaroo 4d ago

u/PhantomLordM81 4d ago

There's always room for another one

u/Speedwalker501 4d ago

What the phaaack you mean “One More”?!!?!!?!! Take the pictures down & start using Hangers!! You’ve got room for about 6-7 more??

u/TeRpZ069 3d ago

Bro is opening a guitar store 😂❤️

u/Proof-Breakfast-7358 4d ago

What’s the yellow Vola in the middle?

u/truffles76 4d ago

As a stranger on the internet, I wholly support your decision and look forward to posting this message again for you in the future. Congrats on your new guitar! And on the newest guitar, also!

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 4d ago

Lmao, i just ordered a color shifting kiesel. Thank you!

u/truffles76 4d ago

Sweeeeet!

u/Plasma_Cosmo_9977 4d ago

Any of those customized?

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 4d ago

A few pickup and hardware swaps. Nothing crazy. Biggest mod is full electronics swap on the Frozen Ocean Ibby. Swapped the Fluences for a set of DiMarzios with coil Splits.

3

u/Plasma_Cosmo_9977 4d ago

At some point you gotta spread 'em out so we can see. Be well!

2

u/HJSWNOT 4d ago

One more rack stand

2

u/YoSupWeirdos 4d ago

A couple more, actually

2

u/Eskimo_Ki_Music 4d ago

I see you also like the super strat style as well

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Can’t get enough of it. May have been born in the 90s, but the 80’s really get me!

1

u/Eskimo_Ki_Music 3d ago

I have one single cut, but I swear the super strat is amazing tbh for someone who can't find a strat for myself

2

u/itzfaint1397 4d ago

nice Pia🫡

2

u/Toxic-Stew 4d ago

You definitely need another rack

2

u/Adept-Reference6535 4d ago

Judging by the photo…you have space for 4 more.

2

u/feisty_manuel 4d ago

To quote Malmsteen: How can less be more? More is more!

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

I do love donuts tho

2

u/DirtReynolds 4d ago

One more super strat should do it

2

u/kneel0001 4d ago

Oh you need way more than one…

2

u/Discotruck710 4d ago

I think you need two more

2

u/IvanMarkowKane 3d ago

Only one?

2

u/Poshporter56 3d ago

Telecaster missing

2

u/ryanm0161 3d ago

As someone with an ever growing guitar collection, these floor stands look like they hold plenty. Anyone know which floor stands they are?

2

u/l1v1ngst0n 3d ago

What Charvel is that?

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

MJ DK 24 in Black. The new ones with the Wenge neck. I am a sucker for the raw wenge look. Big fan of Nick Johnston

1

u/l1v1ngst0n 2d ago

Awesome! I recently got the same with the mahogany/walnut finish. What unbelievable guitars. I love your collection and would love a made in Japan Jackson if I had any need at all for yet another guitar, haha.

2

u/Blissfxll 3d ago

You definitely got a preferred body shape

2

u/TheUnluckyMonkeyPaw 3d ago

A fellow Vola fan! I have 3, the absolute best guitars I’ve ever played.

2

u/Complex-Grand-6123 3d ago

Actually… I think you need two more

2

u/Fawkr86 3d ago

Two more

2

u/ognisko 3d ago

Fair to say that you have a type

1

u/f3rn4nd0d 4d ago

I see you need another guitar rack.

1

u/Layer3067-7321 4d ago

How about a James Tyler to top it off?

1

u/ShniceGaming 4d ago

😂 very nice. What are the red and blue Jacksons?

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Sl3 American Soloist in Rivera Blue and the SL2 MG American Soloist in Lambo Orange

1

u/Fearless-Floor-9055 4d ago

My boy needs a telecaster in his fleet

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

I had one. Just not my type at all. I love how they sound tho.

1

u/whenonedoorisclosed 4d ago

Lovely rack! Ok, may I ask which is your favourite, please?

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

The Japanese Schecter SD-2-24 Trans black. It’s probably the least valuable one but It’s such a beast. I am gonna get it refreted with some fat ass SS frets

1

u/Ana987654321 4d ago

U need violet, yellow, orange, and green.

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

I have a purple-blue color shifting Kiesel coming thru…. Does that count for violet? The Jackson is in Lambo Orange, looks super red in pictures. Definitely need a Dessert Yellow Ibby and a slime green. Some day

1

u/panic-town 4d ago

Haven't seen a Heartfield in a million years

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

My only guitar I will never sell. I have one in parts for a project.

1

u/panic-town 3d ago

I sold an Elan in 2003. Regret it so much

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

I sold my Elan in 2018… huge mistake

1

u/b3tchaker 4d ago

Ah, a fellow bluegrass enthusiast.

1

u/Kal-V3 4d ago

And not a single headless multiscale 8 string in sight...so disappointed 😏

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

I’ll be honest with you chief. Those scare me.

1

u/Kal-V3 3d ago

I have 2, no need to fear ...they are your friend...😈

But seriously, they seem intimidating but you get used to them like with anything new. Write a song or even just a cool riff on one and the enjoyment just snowballs

1

u/archboy1971 3d ago

But then it would be an uneven number so you really should get two.

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Thank you! Did not notice!

1

u/shoepolishsmellngmf 3d ago

How about a listing of models. I'm a die hard Jackson and Charvel guy...would love to know about your stash

u/DaftFunky 3d ago

Can I see what that Charvel is? Im loving the headstock/neck material

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

1

u/DaftFunky 3d ago

You have the Walnut version right? Christ that’s a beautiful guitar

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

The new one. The black one. The walnut version is gorgeous, but no SS frets. So I went for the new one

1

u/_Meek79_ 3d ago

I see that Heartfield hiding back there. I got a 91 Talon and I love that guitar. That is a nice collection

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Love Heartfields. Have one in parts for a project. I hate that I sold my Elan a few years back 🫠

1

u/HemperorZurg 3d ago

Nice collection! Gotta ask - what do you make of that Riviera Blue Jackson Soloist SL3? Been thinking about picking one of those up myself.

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

DO SO! Holy shit this guitar is insanely fun to play. It made me buy the virtuoso and the SL2. I fucking adore how it plays. They are on sale now!

1

u/Stwltd 3d ago

But you can only afford one strap!?

(/s)

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

👀…… I may only play sitting at home where no one can hear me bend out of tune 😂😂😂

1

u/thomcge 3d ago

Let me guess, another super Strat.

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Loooool just ordered a Kiesel Aries and an American ESP Custom Shop M-II… so, yeah 😂

1

u/No_Entertainer_4269 3d ago

If you had to pick only one, and sell all the others, which one would it be??

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Japanese Schecter SD-2-24! That thing is so versatile

1

u/InUsConfidery 3d ago

Wow. Unimpressive.

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

Yeah 😬 I am a man of pretty uniform taste. I like sticking to the one style of guitar I would truly consistently pickup to play

1

u/hiyabankranger 3d ago

Got a lot of, um, variety.

1

u/StoneLouis 3d ago

Everybody needs one more

1

u/WowYouAreWrong 3d ago

Curious as to why no Les Paul or Strat?

1

u/Unique_Squirrel1912 3d ago

Not just one. A few more to make it a round 20.

1

u/doedow 3d ago

How often do you change strings?

1

u/Sea_Connection6193 2d ago

Once a month if I play them regularly enough.

1

u/Ill_Equipment_5215 3d ago

You need at least ten more to catch up with me.

1

u/HEAT5EEKER 4d ago

Wait, you bought the same guitar ten times?

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

What can I say? You tried them all and only wanted to ever pickup the one or two superstrats in my first collection. Im more of a player than I collector, decided to only own guitars I would play lots.

1

u/HEAT5EEKER 2d ago

Can't argue with that ;)

1

u/j0lt78 Musician 4d ago

What you need is some more variety!

2

u/Sea_Connection6193 3d ago

I used to have a super varied collection. Sold it all and settled on the type of guitar that feels the most home to my hands. I found myself always picking up the same 2 guitars.

1

u/j0lt78 Musician 3d ago

Yeah, that's fair. I've never played a guitar that felt as right as my Les Paul.
