Hi! My name is Ed, I´ve been playing guitar for some years, I play electric and sometimes acoustic and spanish guitar too. These are my guitars

Nice mix of trad and pointy goodness in your collection .

No idea of its provenance, but it looks really nice.

Firstly: stop playing so hard for so long. Secondly: the 'standard' treatment to harden up finger tips is to dip them for half a minute in methylated spirit. It won't work wonders, however, if you're punishing yourself with over-zealous practise. Be assured that, as with most things, the fastest way is to go slowly. Practise, of course, but in sessions of, say, fifteen minutes, with a break, then another, then a break. Little by little (weekly..?) increase the session length by five minutes. This will give your fingers time to build up the toughened skin. Hope this helps.
