There are actually eight instruments in shot here- one is hidden behind the pile of books- and there are three more within arm’s length of where I sit. Nor is this the room in the house with the most gits- there are as many again in the spare ‘bedroom’ (ha!), along with eight neglected six-stringers and a couple of Kays in varying states of disrepair. The downstairs loo is where the recently linseed oiled boxes live, and there are necks in progress, and a handful of fretboards, in the kitchen (good light and an oak table).
Come to think of it, that does constitute one helluva lot of clutter. Lucky still to be married I guess, but I do all the cooking as well, and she has the run of the tv as I never watch the damn’ thing, so it evens out. Oh, and the Xbox is my son’s- I simply do not have the time...

Thank you Ambrose. I certainly feel comfortable in here, and so do the dogs. Much better a nice bit of blues than all that gunfire and screaming.
And thank you UJ. Which particular diddley did you have in mind? The dark one is fretted and tuned low G- a proper bass, and a nice sound plugged in too- while the lighter is tuned two octaves higher, and has a violin pup fitted. Great to play with a ceramic or steel slide, but I don’t own a bow- although I seem to recall seeing one in a local second-hand store. I’ll let you know...
Oh, and Dave- that’s the general idea, anyway.
Well that's one way to convince here. ;-)
I am with Ambrose on feeling comfortable just by looking. Have you tried a bow on that long scale diddley?
Your home decorator is doing a fine, fine job.
Great photo. Think I'd feel quite comfortable in that room.
Starting to have that look. Soon every surface, shelf, wall, ceiling will bear the “collection”. Be sore afraid Wal.
Nice collection.
