Where is the option "enough that I wouldn't notice if one was to go suspiciously missing during James' America trip later this year"?

Competition Fiesta Red.
I took pics the other night while drinking and they all came out blurry. This guitar is way cool though. I put a Jazz Bass stacked split pot in it for the volume/coil split on the rail.

Ahh.. I can't change th poll. If you make it to Chicago your definatly welcome to my house and you can play them all to your hearts content. I might notice one missing though.

And what the hell is that white one on the side? Sawz-all job, I'm assuming.

that swinger esque guitar is a noho special and a warmoth neck... i think its warmoth anyway.
and the white one on the left is essentially a mustang in the shape of an ak-47
its actually a very playable and practical guitar even tho its in the exact shape of a gun.

Robert has played most of these guitars and is right on.

For those that voted 19, well done!

If you guys want we can have a contest.
Whom ever comes closest to identifying the gutars in the pic, I will send them one of those Japanese printed mini Mustang books.
I don't think I've posted individual pictures of every single one. And since you can only see the headstocks on some in the picture, the closest wins.
