Some of us are professionals. Some of us are retired. Some of us are just learning. Some of us just play because we enjoy it.
This is your thread - and it's not just for guitarists. I don't care if you play a kazoo. I want to hear it. I will listen to every submission of personally created work - and, if history is any predictor, other people will too.
So, grab your phone and guitar and record us something. Or, if you can do better recording that that, do so!
If you don't play and want to, ask questions. If you want more information, ask questions. If you want resources, ask questions.
By the way - I should start a "ping" list. If you're interested in being pinged, let me know and I'll add you to the list.

(I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some names and I've lost my list that I was keeping. If you want to be added, let me know.)
Addendum:
I'm sure I missed two usernames - please remind me so I can add it to this text file I copy out of. Also, you don't have to share music - you can just share the conversation.

Offer him 2 grand and take it home and keep it. Though I don't know how many you have. Might be nice to let someone get it that will play it if it's just going to collect dust at your house cause you have another you grab first already

It would be played, but not given complete attention. So, it'd have a nice home and would be well maintained, though not played as often as it might like/deserve. My Martin collection (this is intentionally vague) numbers in the double digits. It'd get a very nice home, if it came to live here.
I'd also probably not haggle with him over the price. The offered price is very reasonable and he's already offered a discount from his standard price. It is well worth the price he's asking.
Sometime, I'll grab a few pics and PM them to you. I don't really feel comfortable posting them to the public site as it's a bit embarrassing. I've a fairly substantial collection of guitars. Like, an embarrassing number of them. That's why I often post about the specific guitar that I'm playing in the recordings that I share. They are unique sounds and tonal qualities, as well as being better for some styles than for others.
My only saving grace is that I'm a bit of a neat freak - otherwise, I'd be on some hoarding reality show, in need of an intervention. I do own guitars that I've only played a few times.
Ah well... Some day, they will go to my son.

I probably have a dozen guitars, I haven't counted them. And that doesn't really seem like very many to me. Where to someone who doesn't play it probably seems like a whole lot. But like you say, they all have their place. Some songs just sound better on one guitar than it does on the others
