The Collectors - The Guitar Collection

Epic Ink contacted over 100 guitar owners about contributing to The Guitar Collection. Many of the final contributors are famed musicians or titans in their own fields, and they entrusted us with some of their most precious possessions. Epic Ink is gratified that of all the guitars we pursued seriously, we were ultimately able to include every one, and we are deeply grateful for the trust of the final list of contributors.
