...because we have lots of guitar players on this board. I'll start:

Ryan Gadow bespoke from NC





Maple binding (I think it's just the edge of the top left unpainted), Fralin pickups, push-pull pots, semi-hollow. Does any tone you want.





Saga Instruments Blueridge BR-140



Really amazing sound, singing sound. This one travels with me checked. Very stout instrument.

Solid back and sides:

I don't have any pictures to add at the moment, but I might soon. I am planning on building some sort of Fender Mustang out of well used miscellaneous parts within the next month. I'm considering having a pickguard made out of dinosaur coprolite. I am not quite sure if I can cut it myself, or where I should have it cut, though. I will probably have to piece two parts together, and put it on top of a very thin piece of pickguard material.

I think I will also make a custom strap for it; possibly from scrap tweed jackets and leather from some thrifted shoes.

More MTM, in that you choose a stock model and wood (cloth) and add features (ticket pockets, extra buttons, pink lining, etc...). He does not cut a pattern for you, but I was able to order a thicker neck to accomodate my larger hands.

My latest purchase, brought home last night: Martin DC-16RGTE. Solid glossy spruce top, rosewood sides and back, Fishman electronics including built in tuner, notch filter, yada yada. It sounds beautiful and plays really easy on the fingers.

Just a few these days. My former 'stable" consisted of around 25 or so that rotated frequently from being traded, bought or sold through a collector network. From the mid 80's to the late 90's I owned, at one time or another, one example of just about every important American solidbody or jazz guitars from the 50's and 60's. I met a lot of well known musicians and interesting collectors who just wanted to talk guitars and that made it fun.
