GAS is a problem. There are books written about it.

He was an avid collector of guitars but its obvious his favorite was Ovations. If he WAS a collector ... does that mean he stopped collecting or he passed away? In case of the latter I'm sorry to hear ... |

| Maybe so, I don't know what his screen name would have been. He and I were close and we enjoyed his guitars together, but we never really discussed how he fed his "GAS" attack. |

Location: Charlotte, NC | I happened to stumble across this thread earlier today, and just now was digging through old threads and noticed that the pics looked very similar.
Looks like this collection belonged to OFC member Puppetman
Just in case the original poster wanted to know, or if anyone else is interested...

| My deepest apologies guys, I lost touch with the forum and thr Facebook page until just recently. the entire collection was shown at the upstate South Carolina guitar show and a dealer bought the collection. Yes, puppetman aka, Dennis Britt was my uncle and this collection was his. I was the only member of the family that really shared his love for guitars and when I wold visit he would tell me stories about acquisitions he had made and show me new stuff.
I was fortunate enough to retain his '69 Tele Thinline and his '74 silverface twin. Dennis will be missed and so will my time with the collection. Thanks for posting about the collection!
