I started playing when I was 9 years old and collecting when I could finally afford to own more than one at a time. 
 
The two most interesting in my collection are the first two from the left. The blonde electric is a 1953 National California I found in Nashville back in the 1970's. And the Gibson SG next to it is an original 1967. The only amp I use these days is that little fender sidekick -reverb 20. Started in rock bands in my youth and evolved to mostly jazz over the years.
I still play every day for relaxation.
