I know Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) has a quite a collection of guitars. 
There's a book about the history of the electric guitar and just about every 
guitar pictured is from his collection.

A few years ago I read an article in Guitar Player magazine about a
certain rock and roller (who they never named) having G A S...guitar
acquistion syndrome. Said he had guitars on every flat surface in his
house. I guess that means Neal has MAS (MOPAR acquistion syndrome).
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any cure for this sickness, so he
might as well keep buying them up.
