I don't think he gets out of bed for a guitar less than $5K at this point, and even that number is probably a few years outdated, not sure how egregious the CS figures have gone up since pandemic; maybe $7-8K now.
The CRAZIEST guitar gear collection on the internet?

Speaking as someone who owns 3 guitars and feels like their drowning in gear, this video makes me anxious lol
My wife would be happy if there were only 3 in my living room right now. It's starting to look like Narad's home/cubicle.

I was only aware of him on the Carvin forum, where for a good long stretch of what seemed like a couple of years, it was seemingly nearly a weekly Carvin NGD, and sometimes 2-3 guitars in a week, nearly all of them from the in-stock section (though there were custom builds in there as well). Then seemingly with the flip of a switch, he seemed to completely switch interests to firearms. R.I.P. (cancer, I believe, right?...nothing to do with the firearms, to be clear).
Lee needs to get serious and open an actual museum. Only heard of the guy recently when the 50th Anniversary Ibanez customs came out, and it sent me down a rabbit hole. Hadn't seen a guy like that since the aforementioned (RIP) Rob L back at the end of the 2000s.
I haven't seen @narad 's place, but from everything that's been said, I picture it kinda like that video, except smaller and maybe there was a kitchen there at some point before it got replaced by a cab and a couple heads.

Everything else: Sounds ass

Collection threads make me feel so conflicted. Part of me wants to gorge on gear and part of me wants to sell everything and get down to about 3 rock solid guitars.
@Utkarsh Mohan has one of the most insane ones for sure, his channel is called Ministry of Guitar

I have 13 guitars and 2 more pending completion and even now I sometimes think I might have too many but I can't pick any to sell. I find myself in a situation where I am actively forcing myself to play some of them when I think they've been sitting too long just so I can justify to myself that I should keep them. Then I'll go and browse the POST YOUR GAS threads or reverb and find myself with a guitar in my cart ready to buy it.
It's a vicious cycle. I think a lot of it is because when you get older and make a good living you can suddenly buy all the toys you wanted when you were young and poor but then you barely have the time to actually use the toys. Unless I want to deprive myself of sleep and risk being a zombie at work I find it really hard to carve out the time to play a lot of guitar outside of small noodling sessions. *stares at my playstation 5 with a stack of games I haven't opened, and my massive steam backlog*

I have four guitars in steady rotation and three or four more in cases most of the time. The worst things that happen are some less than mirror polished frets and the occasional truss rod adjustment. It's just a PITA buying strings for seven or eight guitars at a time, keeping the four I use fully tuned and decently polished 24/7, and then actually writing and practicing music with only so many hours in the day. Reminds me of that saying about how the things we own can end up owning us. It might be a problem I definitely want to have, but there's also definitely a huge labor of love aspect required when it comes to curating these big and expensive gear collections.

I'm blessed enough to actually use MOST my stuff regularly but still have a good amount of options. Getting an amp switcher helped a lot because it cut down on set up time and made quickly accessing tones for recording/jamming so much easier. The guitar thing has always been more complicated to me - I just get stuck on one or two of them and the rest don't see much play. Currently I've got a couple that I'm considering dumping so I reallocate funds into something else, but like others, I have a hard time getting rid of stuff these days

I probably have the world's craziest collection of old ESP hardcases
Seta for sure has one of the craziest collections of metal guitars out there, especially for Alexi and BC Rich stuff. I actually just met him in Yoyogi last week to sell him something.
