The guys in my band buy instruments and sell and trade them. But if I have something I hang onto it. Everything is sentimental to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been buying instruments and musical gear for a long time.
My philosophy is, honestly, never collected anything that I don't play. I know a lot of people that collect guitars, but for me, I want instruments that I play. And if I don't play them, I don't' want to have them sitting in a closet collecting dust.
I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.
Most of my instruments are handmade.
I don't really collect guitars.
When I first got signed, I bought a vintage guitar from the 1930s for £1000. I've bought a £400 SLR camera, too, which was quite extravagant.
I'm not a guitar collector. I own some guitars because I play.
I was too broke to buy a guitar so I more borrowed guitars from friends.
My father had all kinds of instruments in the house that he would hide from my mother. He bought them through mail order!
I played with so many musicians and some of the musicians would have something I want. I steal a lot of them, and I mash it up, I mash it up into my chords.
