Premier Collector #3: Vintage Fender Amps and Guitars

Premier Guitar

Five Fender amps from the sixties and seventies, and 15 vintage and newer guitars make Lorne Sheaves' collection.
Premier Guitar August 2008


Lorne Sheaves has only been collecting guitars for the past 4-5 years, and already has an impressive stash. Beginning with the black 1987 American Stratocaster -- a Christmas present from his parents -- the collection grew exponentially.

Says Lorne, "I got all this gear over time with a very understanding wife, but it does drive her crazy when I play it too loud."

To have your collection featured as a Premier Collector, send pictures and descriptions to rebecca@premierguitar.com.
