It's neat to see the Chromeboy and Alumiboy together... quite a difference in the colour of the different metals. And holy crap... a Black Dog! That's quite a score.
Nice, but .....
It's kinda like owning five Ferrari's - just one will do !
It's ok if you've got the money to collect these things, but it serves no real purpose.
As it happens, at some point over last 9 or 10 years I've owned (apart from an original Donnie) just about every JS guitar there is ... and now I have just one guitar, a 1989 540R HH, which is where the whole JS thing started, and this guitar plays and feels better than any JS I've owned ... and it cost me just $300
If have the money and inclination to hoard guitars then fine, but at the end of the day it's about having one you fall in love with, play everyday and just know it'll go to the grave with you !
The chromeboy I had only left the case a couple of times ... what was the point in that !!

It's called GAS (Guitar Aquisition Syndrome)!!
I have 10 guitars (8 Ibbys) but frankly 2 would be enough for my needs.
BTW these old Rs are quite nice!
here's mine:
I have 5 JS guitars... but as four are in different tunings (E, Eb, D and C) I can justify that... the other's a spare in case I break a string. I could get away with 3 probably, but any less than that wouldn't be fun at all.
