I TELL THIS ONLY ONCE.
DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF GUITARS IF YOU FIND THEM, from other sites. In fact all illegal stuff will be removed.
And yes Arkady, I was so ashamed, seeing people as kinf questions about Epiphone and Squier
I started also with 1 guitar, I invested 6500$ to help starting a new store.
Getting your money back is another thing. We made a deal and he paid me back in guitars
What you see is:
1) Fender stratocaster all original 1964, since I bought  that guitar, in early 2006, the price has doubled.
2) Fender Telecaster California Beach in the "car colors" model in 1952. VERY LIMITED and only for the European market
3) Gibson Les Paul Supreme (Here I shouldn't never have sold my Standard
4) Duesenberg Starplayer TV
5) Duesenberg 49er both have a P-90 neck and bridge humbucker.

I agree, with 1 point = is it really necessary to buy so many guitars? As told it was all coincidence, and 3 guitars I bought in the USA, without 1 single problem at the border. Since my crash and the tons of restrictions, like standing with a guitar = terrible pain, but that can be solved by sitting. Some people collect antique, stamps, stones, guns, well I try to do this. I worked so hard, and now...
It would really be great to see the guitar(s) you play, also if possible why you love it. The duesy sound is incredible, better than a lot of Gibsons and Fenders, but ain't that subjective?

Re: Pictures of some gitaardocphil guitar collection...

As told I buildup my collection.
At first I was very uncomfortably, all this beauties, AND WHAT MADE ME REALLY NERVOUS WAS, the $$$
WHY? A lot of people don't have that money. I worked at least 80h/week, and my 3 passions are FINE DINING, TRAVELING IN THE USA and having the possibilities TO PAY & COLLECT. The Gibson Supreme: the word tells enough. I regret 1 thing = I sold my Gibson Standard. 
- a junkie asking me 750$ for his Martin HD-28, he needed that money fast, no loan, so that was my second acoustic (first was Yamaha in 1978)
- my first electric was a beautiful black gibson LP studio, right from the customs, a patient + good friend was chief = 500$.
- I went to a music store with a friend, we tried out a lot of guitars, among them a PRS Custom 24, 6 months old. I sold my Gibson for 1000$, and so  I lost (only) 200$ because that PRS was half price. Here she is:
