Mostly Gretsch, a few Epiphone, one Epiphone Sheraton II, one Gretsch (RED) Bono signature. Two Gretsch White Falcon Ranchers (one 6 string and a sister 12string). I plan on keeping the Guild AE and a Dan Armstrong resonator. I also have a Marshall 100 W Mosfet amp paired with a Marshall 4x12 cabinet. You'll love it.
And so will your neighbors.
The mandolin has to go, too. My fingers are too fat. I'm convinced mandolin players sharpen their fingers.

I see a couple of ovations, and a Les Paul ? My dad had a white falcon and a mandolin that had 'the Gibson' on the headstock Gibson bought that from him.. I learned guitar building, repairing even soldering electronics from my dad. I have owned quite a few. Charvel, Jackson, Ibanez, Kramer, Aria, Carvin.... to name a few. Gibson Byrdland, a couple of pre pro Charvels I wish I'd kept.
You have a nice collection ! Bono signature... very cool !

Good morning!☕️ It’s raining again. Usually we never have enough. We’re about to the point where we have too much. Mushrooms growing in my yard. I don’t need fungus starting in my garden. 🤷🏼

I don’t need fungus starting in my garden.

I know that feeling. The fungus set in on our grapes while we were on vacation (it rained the entire time) so there won't be any real grape crop this year. (Partly my own fault for failing to prune the vines this time around, but still.).

Good morning everyone. Despite plenty of hawks and coyotes and such, we have quite the proliferation of rabbits this year. One of them has taken a liking to the bushes outside the window.

Good morning everyone! Yes. The Les Paul has the single wound P90's. The Ovations have a character all their own. Sort of like that awful girlfriend everybody warned you about.

Mornin all.

Woke up to having solved what I had been offered a taste of to figure out in my sleep.
Why it was Alka Seltzer I don't really grasp ; but so it was.

As a mandolin player, I can say that does help! Also, toughening the finger pads with sandpaper helps also, to keep those *tiny* strings from cutting in!!!

Man, nothing better than fresh King!
The worst part about living inland is not being able to get that regularly.
