Anybody have experience with the Michael Kelly guitars? I've never even come across one.

I've played a couple, never owned one. They're decent for the money, don't hold their value at all.

If I may be so bold, I notice that you buy guitars often. I can't tell if you're flipping them and using the same cash or you're accumulating them. My advice is to save your dollars and go high end. One fantastic guitar is better than a bunch of average to good guitars. It's tough to do, because the desire to get another guitar is almost always present. So much so, that I actively try to stay away from guitar related sites to remove temptation...not very well I have to admit.

I'm 61 and I'm starting to realize that my buying guitars phase of my life is coming to a close pretty soon. I'll probably buy one more extremely high end electric and be done. I have everything I need. I'll probably start whittling down the herd in a few years until I have the few left that I want to pass on. I have eight now...I plan to be down to 5 in a few years including the next one that I buy...I have some righteous gear, it's going to be hard to do.

But if you think guitars are bad...it's nothing compared to the monstrous black hole that is recording.
