Got two new guitars this spring. In May I got a Baby Taylor acoustic which is fun to play and has surprisingly good bark for such a small guitar. (I wanted a Martin Dreadnaught but the action was so high it was painful to play).
A couple of weeks ago my order from guitar center came in. New MIM Fender Delux Edition FSR Telecaster in butterscotch blonde, with ash body and maple neck. Love the twang, learning some Luther Perkins leads on it now. |

Starting back up after years away from my hobby. Couldn't pass up the $99 Mitchell special at GC over Memorial Day for a guitar to travel with me (frequently) and the 15% off on pedal and amp. I really can't find anything to bitch about with this guitar. Neck is average for a $300-$500 guitar, pickups are surprisingly bright and sound great when tapped (both tapped with one switch). GT-1 is a great travel rig, fits in a small laptop case with cables.

I have a dozen guitars but this one is my absolute favorite. It’s a 2018 Gibson Les Paul Traditional with a honey burst finish, burstbucker pickups, Orange Drop caps, and nickel plated hardware.

This is an old bug box mandolin. It’s a Maurer new model and is around 100 years old or better. It’s been in my family for at least 60 or 70 years. It’s been in my possession for about 30-35 of those years.

Next up is the first real guitar I ever owned. It was given to me when I was probably 9 or 10 years old. It belonged to my great uncle and is a 1957 Harmony H-1214 Archtone.
The glue on the body and neck all gave way a while back so I had it completely restored. Attached File |

This is my 1963 Gibson Les Paul jr. It’s an SG body and was the last year before it was renamed the SG. In fact Les pulled his name from Gibson’s use for several years over the SG body bearing his name.
This one was given to me by my Uncle when I was 16, so that would have been 1991. It was in poor condition when I got it. It had a head stock crack repair that was probably done by him using a brad nail to hold it in place. The finish had been redone in walnut and coated with a hard table too clear coat. The original pickup and bridge were lost to the ages, and replaced with a “Badass” tailpiece and some random old DiMarzio humbucker with a trim ring barely fitting over the original routing. Also a couple inlays were missing and the fretboard was worn from playing. A few years back I had it restored by a professional Luther. The missing pieces were replaced with proper 1960’s original hardware other than the P90 pickup. An original is pretty pricy so I opted for a Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90. The headstock crack was also re-repaired the proper way, and nitrocellulose lacquer was used for the finish. The replacement inlays were hand cut from shells by the Luther also. I wish I had a before photo as it was in pretty poor shape. I opted not to have it aged and settled on allowing it to age as I play it. Anyway, my Uncle John died several years back but was one of the best guitar players and singers I’ve ever met, at least to me. Also my grandfather made the table it’s laying on in the first photo.

Next is my first real Gibson Les Paul that I ever bought. I’ve had a Cort Les Paul clone and an Epiphone Les Paul Classic clear coat birds eye maple in the past but this was my first Gibson other than my ‘63 jr. It began its life as a 2014 LPM with a tobacco rim burst. The finish was soooo thin and dull that once I put a huge scratch in it I decided to refinish it myself.
I paid $850 used for it and that was probably even too much but it’s all I had at the time. Now it’s one of my best playing and sounding guitars. I even did a “fake binding” scrape around the body had a truss rod cover made for it that’s a play on the word Studio. ETA: I used Stewmac tobacco, amber, and clear Nitrocellulose Lacquer to do the finish. All of the plastic was updated to cream with real Gibson parts except for the knobs I believe. If I recall correctly those were AllParts knobs. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Another one of my favorite guitars has always been the telecaster. I absolutely love the sound of them.
This is my MIM Fender Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue. I have since replaced the bridge assembly with a Fender vintage 3 saddle bridge. I’m still not sure if I’m going to leave it as is or if I’m going to change some other things about it yet. Of course I did have to get a tweed case for it because anything else would have been pure sacrilege. Attached File Attached File Attached File |
