I'm kinda just walking around in a daze since I saw this image.
As a guitarist the Gibson L5 or L7 was my favorite body shape and my favorite sound.
I saw this body on a Cuban Tres, another one...

I plug into a Roland AC-100 Acoustic Chorus with a 12’speaker, A Fender Hot Rod Deluxe also with a 12 “speaker. They are hooked up to a Morley switch box.
When I’m playing acoustic- Mandolin, Dobro,...

The last time I was this excited about an instrument was when the late great luthier John Teucher built me a fretless neck for my Fender Precision bass. As I have short fingers I was never able to...

Rico Mando, I've been using a Hot rod deluxe for everything electric. It had more switches than I ever thought I'd need. But now that I got the hang of it I can get from very clean and mellow to...

Mr. Patton the music that comes from you gibson A is excellent. One of your CD's will be my next one. All right it's been driving me nuts. What does MAS syndrome mean?
