Joe fully admits to being a hoarder. I've heard his addiction has put him into some debt he ignored for too long. But hey, if you can afford this stuff, why not? Personally, if I was ultra rich, I wouldn't want that much stuff hanging around, you end up being owned by your "stuff." One vintage 'burst, a gold top, a Flying V, an old Tele, ES175 with P90's, and an old strat, and that'd be it for me. But hell, I'm old, my time left on this planet isn't long, it would make no sense for me to be a collector.

Your question: "Are you proud of the work you did as a musician to become the musician you became?" I had to relearn to play after losing the ability in 2004 because of a couple of strokes after which I was told I'd not likely live another three months. I lived...but it wasn't until around 2010/11 that I was able to re-start learning to play. I'll never be a great guitarist, but I love it now more than ever...and I was able to see my kids grow up, marry and have my grandchildren. In the past two years I had enough cancer surgery on my head and face to require 20 inches of stitches and staples...still..not...dead...haha. I must be the luckiest guy on the planet!

he's right. they call it popping the neck for a reason. the signature sound a fender neck makes when you remove it.

I love Joe for this. I have to say when I was young I was a prodigy myself. After a year of guitar lessons my teacher told me I played and sounded like I'd been playing for 10 years or so and sent me off into the world. I was full of myself and had all the tricks down. I had a following of guitar players always trying to get me to teach them something but I only did it because of ego. I'm 39 now and after having had some major medical illnesses that almost killed me life has changed. I don't play for accolades or anything. I stopped being a speed demon with cluster bomb playing. I started to slow down and pay attention to the music and the emotion of the moment. Parlor tricks have no lasting value in music. It's the blood you put into it. It's the fire in your soul. I stopped teaching for money even as long as I can see that fire to learn in them. I don't even care how well you can pay as long as that desire is in you. Having your life nearly taken from you is getting a slap in the face from God. It refocuses your entire life and outlook. Well, God got my attention
@Bruceloee: this is God speaking: stop pretending to be a guitar-prodigy-slapped-by-God-now-turned-into-a-wise-39yearold-messiah. I didn´t "slap" you, I gave you a chance to cope with megalomania and learn about yourself being just an ordinary fucker, just like the others. Even though you can play the guitar. Seems you didn´t get it yet. So I let you survive, you´re a slow learner... I know that. But I love you anyway.

That guitar at 17:10 is beautiful... It is absolutely my dream guitar, I literally COULD NOT fall asleep and dream of any guitar that I would love to own more than that guitar. It might sound strange but I actually feel physical pain because I know I cant afford that guitar or one like it. Ah well, maybe I can play it in my dreams? What a beautiful collection and Joe is such a nice guy for sharing his guitar storys with us all. Peace and respect from Ireland mo chara x.
