Happy New Year

Happy New Year everybody.  A big appreciative thank you to everyone who looked in.  Thank you to the makers of guitars--especially the small independent luthiers--and especially the luthiers that have built guitars and worked on guitars for me.  If you love guitars as I do--then please check in in 2018.  

VW Telecaster

Can a VW give birth to a Telecaster?

Merry Christmas 2017

Merry Christmas to all.  Let us count our blessings and toast to the health and well being for all in the coming year.  God Bless and be safe in 2018!!

Buster and Jerry

Two of the very best!!

Albert Lee

Albert owns more Everly Brothers guitars than anyone.  Including the prototype black J-200 with the chamis pick guards.  Don gave it to him.  Albert also wrote "Country Boy" made famous by Ricky Skaggs.  And if that isn't enough--he also played for Emmy Lou Harris when he wasn't on the road with the Everly's.  Here's to Albert Lee!!

Bruce and Stevie

When it comes to Rocking a Stage--nobody does it like these two.

Keef

Who do you think of first when you hear or see a Telecaster?  Danny Gatton?  Albert Lee?  Brad Paisley?  Vince Gill?  Or this guy?  Happy 74th Birthday Mr. Richards!!

Stratocaster

Just now posted on the Facebook site "Telecaster Group".  I'm thinking this Strat is close enough to a Tele to be included.  Check out the site to see if she gets ousted.  Regardless--she's staying here!!

ANA and Kevin

What's happening with ANA and Kevin?  One thing for sure--the Lady has a nice guitar!!

Linda Manzer

Check the bear claw on this!!  And this one is available for purchase.  Who wouldn't be proud to to rock this baby!!

Jack Pelletier

Happy Birthday Jack!!

1956 Gibson J-185

This guitar could very well be "The Bomb" of original J-185's.  It is featured on the back page of the January 2018 Acoustic Guitar Magazine.  You can read about it there!!

Kirk Douglas

Kirk almost made it to 101--not bad.  Thanks for all the great films.  RIP.

The White Dove

Over the years I have played several Doves.  I didn't particularly like any of them.  Very disappointing since I love most other Gibson's I have ever played.  I would dearly love to try this one out, in hopes of finally getting to play a good one!!

Cumberland Christmas Market

Playing one of Gerry's great Xaver guitars at the Cumberland Christmas Market.  This one is a real beauty--but aren't all Xaver Guitars fantastic?
