Jonathan Kellerman’s Guitar Collection

This month’s Guitar Aficionado has a surprise feature about thriller novelist Jonathan Kellerman–a novelist who uses his bestseller earnings to collect vintage guitars.

The novelist keeps a collection of 120 guitars in his Beverly Hill home, and he explores his favorites in the article. The article isn’t available online, but is on sale at newsstands now. Guitar Aficionado gave us a copy of the opening page–a photograph by Graham Henman.

Here’s more about the novelist’s guitar playing, from his webpage: “I play guitar – in several genres ranging from Hawaiian to classical–and I collect vintage guitars and other fretted instruments. I’ve been drawing and painting since the age of four and try to get to the studio when there’s any creative energy left over. My style is realistic and my strong point is portraiture, though I have experimented with other schools and subjects. I also like to pretend to stay in shape, so I try to exercise aerobically every day. Boring, boring, boring, so I keep telling myself it’s good for me.”
