tc ellis guitars collection
I have been collecting guitars all my life - I still own and occasionally play the Nylon String Acoustic guitar my parents bought for me when I was about 13 years old. I am fascinated by the history and technical development of the electric guitar.

This page will have pictures and detailed information about each of the more interesting guitars in my collection. The collection currently stands at over 50 Guitars ranging from a 1957 Stratocaster Hard tail to the various incarnations of the Strat over the years and many other designs and manufactures in between.

I will not be putting up pictures and information too frequently as the guitars are kept in a secure storage facility so it takes time to get them to photograph etc.
