I’m not a collector of instruments but I have anyway quite many of them. Now when I’ve started to make instruments I don’t switch to a new one anymore because now I can fix them e.g. if the frets are worn out or something like that.
On the wall: Dreadnought, Hermann Hauser 1937, Washburn, Hofner 500/1, Pro Martin, Seagull 12-string, portuguese guitar and Maccaferri.
On the floor: Gibson 335, in the stand Jazzcaster type with gold foil pickups, Thinline Telecaster, Stratocaster made from parts, genuine Fender Telecaster and Jolana. Next Rickenbacker, Benedetto, Gretch 6120 and second Rickenbacker.
Jolana, Seagull, the genuine Telecaster and Washburn are not made by me, the others are. I’ve also changed the top to the Pro Martin.
And my amplifiers: Behringer (I have sold it), Tweed Deluxe and AC15. Nowadays I have also built a Princeton Reverb.

Here’s also the amplifier (Fender Tweed Deluxe, 5E3 version, some mods added) built in an old Tulane radio.
Line of my acoustic guitars.
Rickenbackers, acoustic and f-hole models.
Three Telecasters, Jazzmaster (kind of), and a Strat (partscaster).
In my room there are three posters: Old guitarist by Picasso, Martin D-28 and patent picture of Fender Telecaster. I have done a copy of Hermann Hauser -37, a D-28 style steel string with cutaway and actually I have have made several Telecasters.
I have had also this kind of guitars:
Ibanez, 12-string, bought from Stockholm 1979.
Ibanez, 12-string, bought from Nummela near Helsinki. I switched the old Ibanez to this new one. This was later changed to Seagull which I still have.
Fender Telecaster -74.
... and also these kind of 6-string guitars I have owned at some point:

Landola whichs was followed by Washburn.
Washburn was then switched to Seagull.
Seagull was finally replaced by the Washburn that I still have.
