DDH LP-kind of guitar. The shape is very reminiscent of my long gone Electra Invicta. Chloedog's mom bought it for me at a local guitar shop for $130! It's a very nice player, just had to give a slight level and polish to the frets, replace the tuners (the ones it came with made audible grinding...

Oh boy, lets see, this year I acquired: Chickenbacker 330 copy Gretsch 5120 Epoch LP special DDH LP-style Peavey Red Stripe Bandit (amp) Gretsch shoulder bag I divested myself of: Danelectro SC-1 Oscar-Schmidt 12-string acoustic Gretsch Duo-jet One Home-built Red Special Mustang-style guitar...

The problem isn't too many guitars, it's that my house is too small.

Mandolin was the first non-guitar instrument I learned, and I still play on occasion. In my opinion, a mandolin is a bit more versatile than banjo (unless you're Bela Fleck...), I like the sound of them much better as well. I've had "A", "F" and flat-top mandolins, as well as open-back and...

In the past year and a half we've cut it down from around 40 to 27. Although I've recently finished a "Garoffice" (Garage office) and that provides more room to store more guitars.........

The best gigging set-up I ever had was a Traynor Bloc100GT and an Electra X260N- Invicta. Both of which have bee n gone for years. Being young and dumb, I "Had to have a Fender Chorus amp" and got rid of the amp. The guitar I held on to until a couple years ago when I realized I hadn't played it...

I've had an american sound for quite a while, and for a while, I was using it as a pre-amp and sending it straight to the mixer, no regular amp needed. still pull it out from time to time to play around with.

Yikes! I think I could find better ways to spend that kind of money, if I had it.

This reminds me of a limerick- " I was here, but now I'm gone. I left this stank to carry on. Those who like me, like me well, those who don't can go to ........"

Having grown up listening to the radio in the 80's, for most of the 90's and early 2000's I used to think that all the 80's stuff was just awful. After the last twenty years of general junk, I'll take the 80's all day long.:)

Yeah, I got lucky having had the two epi's and the other lp at the same time ( I knew it would come in handy some day, LOL!) We had close to 40 guitars between us at one time, we've since whittled it down to around 25

At one point, I had an Epi LP special 2- separate stop bar tailpiece, and tuna-maniac bridge, and my wife had an Epi LP special- with a wraparound bridge/tailpiece combo, both were flat slab bodied, bolt neck, with the standard cheapy humbuckers they put in those, and there wasn't much...

My "Less Paul"- Gibson Epoch LP husk from goodwill, Wilkinson bridge, Blacktop Filtertrons from a Gretsch Electromatic Rat Rod, total refret after correcting the wavy fingerboard, shaved the neck down, fresh nut, tuners, electronics, etc. I left the dings and such on the body and gave it a flat...

I used to be able to eat peppers like this when I was younger. No way my internals can handle it nowadays. I still love the flavors, just not the heat. Those are interesting peppers, I'd be curios as to whether they have a nice flavor, or are just pure heat.

Man! There's about an hour of productivity lost, and well worth it! This is a pleasure to follow along with, I love how well you have documented each step along the way. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
