    “OUR OBSESSION GOT OUT OF HAND. IF I WANTED TO STAY MARRIED, I HAD TO FIND SOMEWHERE FOR MY GUITARS TO GO, AND THIS PLACE CAME UP”

    What happens when your guitar collection gets out of hand? When your compulsion to buy erupts into an irresistible urge that never seems to ease?

That’s when we started talking about guitars.”

    Jay is an offshore safety professional and David is a senior instrument technician in the oil industry.
