Peggy White

Another beauty from Peggy nearing completion.

Randy Bachman

Guess Who?  

Johnny Cash Black

When they name a colour after you--and that colour is Black--which is not even a colour but the lack thereof--then you must realize that you are a somebody!!

J-45

Wish I'da got one when they were $45!!

Glen Travis Campbell

The Rhinestone Cowboy has left the building.

Aged D-28

What do you think of this?  I don't like it.  I have the de-stressed "Roadworn Telecaster", but for a D-28, personally I'd like to mark and scuff it up myself.  I don't get a lot of comments here on the old Blog--but I'd really like to hear what you have to say.  I recently test drove the Gibson J-45 1942 reissue.  It is in pristine condition and that's how I would prefer to see this.  Now this guitar may or may not be patterned after a specific year's version--but to me each mark on your guitar is a character mark.  So how much character is involved when your wear marks and dings are templated?

Maple Leaf Martin

Happy 150 Canada!!

Long & McQuade

Finally the Long & McQuade Orleans store is opened.  And yes, they have a Bob Dylan SJ-200.  Can you see it?

1928 Gibson Nick Lucas

New in 1928, my guess is that this guitar would have sold for around $25.  Now it is worth more than the new Bob Dylan SJ-200.  

D18-RG

This Custom Signature Edition D-18, featuring imprinted original artwork by the talented Robert F. Goetzl, is a tribute to the Lakota Sioux Native American Tribe. The guitar features a single arrowhead inlay on the headplate, to symbolize a tool that was essential to the tribe’s early survival, along with four arrowheads on the fingerboard, each facing outward, to represent the four directions which were sacred to the Lakota Tribe. Martin will be donating a guitar to the Native American Heritage Association (www.naha-inc.org), a charitable organization whose mission is to provide food and other essentials to the people of Crow Creek and Pine Ridge Reservations in South Dakota. Pine Ridge has the lowest survival rate in the Western Hemisphere, second only to Haiti. The donated guitar will be auctioned off to raise much needed funds for the organization.

James Olsen

James and James with the Olsen "James Taylor Signature Guitar".  Personally I like the hat in the third photo.  If ya wanna pick guitar--ya gotta havea hat!!

Gareth Pearson

I met Gareth today at his show at Inspiration Village.  An incredible talent and a great show.  And what a beautiful Maton guitar!  No scratches!!
