Little bro would freak at the thought of posting pics of his gear on the net. He had one home studio in London cleaned out by thieves years ago and is now very cautious. He said it wasn't so bad replacing most of the gear but a couple of special guitars and some original recordings he had stored were taken, including everything recorded by his first road band and all the personal stuff he'd recorded throughout his career. You musicians will sympathize. He started with audio tape when he was just a young teenager in the 60's and lost it all. Now he has everything digitized and backed up.

 

Be careful out there.

Amazing stuff everyone! This is a great thread....love seeing everyones setups.

 

HH...An OFC jam session....sounds like a plan!

 

The only things missing from my pics is my guitar amp (Peavy) and my Ibanez roadstar electric...oh yeah...and my "camping" Yamaha acoustic. That's my "I dont care what happens to it" guitar. In university I found it in someone else's room filled with beer....LOL.

that's funny you say your "camping" Yamaha acoustic..and "I don't care what happens to it guitar"

 

I got the same thing...had it for like 12 years now..story behind it is, I was up North camping fishin on St. Joe's Island, wanted a guitar for sitting around the camp fire so I thought I would go into town and try and find a used music shop on a whim..I lucked out....right first when I went in the door, was a guitar hanging on the wall with a little sign attached to it saying "looking for a good camp fire"..I thought it was funny because that's exactly what I was looking for it for..so for $85 bucks for the guitar and another $25 for a case..I was out the door for $110 with a decent guitar. It's was scratched to crap in the back....but great action,great sound and I been using it ever since as my "camping" guitar.

 

This pic is from the weekend up at my camp..I keep it there in the summer, brought it back home after winterizing..had to end the season with a couple tunes by the fire.. :lol:

My best guess would be Keith Richards was the man who paved the way to all smokers creating nicotine stains on their Telecaster!

But again, that would be a guess!

Wow Roy, that is a beauty!!!!! I don't have to tell you how much that sweetie is worth today... but I wouldn't be surprised if it is equal to a pretty nice new car!!!

Current Gretsch Hollowbodies/ Country Gentleman are selling new for around 2-3K. An immaculate 61 like the one pictured in your link is a nice tidy down payment on a house!!!! I can only imagine what sweet sound emanate from that beauty!

 

"any bass players?"

Yup, one right here!!!! here's a link to a pic of some of my basses:

* A man gives his son an electric bass for his 15th birthday, along with a coupon for four bass lessons. When the son returns from his first lesson, the father asks, "So, what did you learn?"

 

"Well, I learned the first five notes on the E string."

Next week, after the second lesson, the father again asks about the progress, and the son replies, "This time I learned the first five notes on the A string."

One week later, the son comes home far later than expected, smelling of cigarettes and beer.

So the father asks: "Hey, what happened in today's lesson?"

"Dad, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to my lesson; I had a gig!"

 

Paaarump,pump, pump! B)

Wish I could show y'all pics of my guitars but they've all been stolen by my son and now live at his house. All I have left is the old long neck banjo which I can't play worth a sore patoot.

 

Some of you Gretsch fans from the London area may remember a feller by the name of Rick R. who had a pretty nice collection of Gretsch units. He was co-owner of Music Mart back in the day. My little bro worked there for years selling stuff. Skinny redhead who could play pretty well. His name is Rick too.
